Brightcove Player Plugin

Livestream and Brightcove have developed a plugin which allows existing Brightcove customers to stream Live and Linear content via Livestream directly into their existing Brightcove Player.

Benefits

Once you enable the Livestream's Brightcove Player Plugin through your Brightcove account, you can use all of the Livestream Live and Linear broadcast tools like you normally would via Livestream, with the streams directed to your Brightcove Player.

The plugin was developed using the Livestream Player API, and offers the following key benefits to Brightcove customers:

  • Go LIVE instantly in your existing Brightcove player template using any USB cam or DV cam (or stream remotely using a datacard or mobile phone).
  • Schedule linear broadcasts in your existing Brightcove player template for 24/7 television programming to increase viewer retention.
  • Leverage high-quality production graphics and tools with ease, including ticker, logo bug, lower third, straps, and much more.
  • Self-service setup within minutes with server-side recording and proven scalability to 100,000+ simultaneous viewers.
  • Viewer and content statistics pre-integrated into your existing Brightcove analytics package.

How to Use It

Within your Brightcove account, simply add the Livestream template to your Brightcove player.
