Video on Demand allows users to watch video content anytime, without following a broadcast schedule. The process typically works like this:
Content Upload: Creators or businesses upload video files to a platform.
Transcoding: The video is converted into multiple formats/resolutions for adaptive streaming.
Storage: The content is stored on cloud servers or CDNs for fast delivery.
Playback: Users access the content through apps or browsers on demand.
Monetization & Control: Platforms can include pay-per-view, subscriptions, or ads.
Solutions like VPlayed offer an end to end VOD platform with built in DRM, analytics, monetization tools, and complete branding control making it ideal for businesses looking to launch their own streaming service.
