Is HLS suitable for live streaming?
Yes. Live events are one of its primary use cases, alongside on-demand hosting, since segmented delivery handles fluctuating audience connections well.
Sales & Marketing, Live Streaming
Is HLS the standard for video streaming today?
It has become a cornerstone of the video streaming industry thanks to its adaptability and broad compatibility, and most modern streaming services rely on it for live and on-demand delivery.
Sales & Marketing
Which protocol should I choose for live streaming?
Choose HLS if your audience is mostly on Apple devices, you want simple implementation with robust encryption, and latency is not critical. Choose MPEG-DASH if you stream to diverse devices, need low latency, or want flexibility in codec selection.
Sales & Marketing, Live Streaming
What codecs does MPEG-DASH support?
MPEG-DASH is codec-flexible and supports a variety of codecs including H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1, allowing better optimization for quality and bandwidth.

What is billing automation?
Billing automation is the process of executing and managing billing cycles and related activities automatically, from processing payments securely to generating invoices and handling payment failures. It streamlines steps that would be tiresome and error-prone to do manually.
Sales & Marketing, Monetization
How does automated billing help a business grow?
It supports new monetization and business models, automates revenue management, eliminates repetitive tasks, smooths cash flow, centralizes data, delivers business insights, and gives audiences more payment options.
Sales & Marketing, Monetization
Does automated billing improve cash flow?
Yes, automated billing speeds up the billing process by more than 60%, making payment collection faster and smoother. A Fundbox study found nearly 70% of companies receiving late payments experience cash flow problems, which automation helps prevent.
Sales & Marketing, Monetization
What repetitive tasks does billing automation eliminate?
It removes manual transaction processing, data collection, invoice creation, and tracking of user billing cycles. Those time and money costs otherwise multiply every time you upgrade billing models or add new plans.
Sales & Marketing, Monetization
Why centralize billing data?
A comprehensive billing system replaces multiple tools with a single secure place for data like customer lifetime value, recurring revenue, and average revenue per customer. These are key metrics for assessing growth and adapting strategy.
Sales & Marketing, Monetization
How did COVID-19 affect billing automation?
The pandemic forced business leaders to reassess pricing systems and strategies, and billing became one of the key components getting automated more than ever. That competitive pressure to automate is expected to continue in the post-pandemic years.
