What is the difference between OTT and VOD?
OTT is the broader method of delivering video over the internet without cable or satellite infrastructure, covering both live and on-demand content. VOD specifically means viewers pick what to watch from a content library at their convenience; OTT platforms can offer VOD, but VOD focuses only on on-demand.
Video Platform, General
Which are the most popular VOD streaming services today?
The best-known names include Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV Plus, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock, and Discovery+, alongside platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, and Crunchyroll that serve more specific audiences.

Are there good free streaming services?
Yes. Tubi, Pluto TV, and Popcornflix are free, ad-supported services. Tubi offers a wide movie and TV library, while Pluto TV adds live channels plus on-demand content, all without a subscription.

Can OTT platforms stream live content as well as on-demand?
Yes. OTT delivery supports live streams such as TV broadcasts and sports events alongside on-demand movies and shows, which is why services like YouTube TV and Fubo TV can mix live channels with libraries.

What features help secure a video streaming platform?
The key security features are password protection, private or unlisted videos, geographic and domain restrictions, HTTPS video delivery, HLS video encryption, and continuous system monitoring.
Video Platform, Security & DRM
How does password protection secure video content?
Password protection blocks a video from being viewed unless the viewer has the password, so keeping the password private keeps the stream secure. It is a basic method widely adopted by small businesses and organizations.
Video Platform, Security & DRM
What are private or unlisted videos?
Private and unlisted videos are hidden from search, so only people with the direct URL or platform subscribers can access them. This keeps valuable content away from random visitors and digital hacks.
Video Platform, Security & DRM
What is the difference between domain and geographic restrictions?
Domain restriction limits playback to authorized websites, so embedding a stolen embed code on another site fails. Geographic restriction whitelists specific countries by IP address so the content can only be watched from those regions.
