With Lightcast’s turnkey OTT builder and AI-powered Media Cloud, you can automate workflows, go live in minutes, and deliver your message to over 2 billion devices worldwide.
With over ten thousand (10,000!) published TV apps and mobile apps in all major app stores, Lightcast has been the OTT pioneer since 2010. With Lightcast, your brand—and all your media content—comes to life on all major smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, in self-driving cars, on every computer and screen, with your own app stores in your corporate design, fully controlled and monetized by you.
With the Lightcast Media Cloud, you can intuitively build your own streaming business, reach new viewers and customers, run ads, sell subscriptions and PPV events—far beyond the possibilities of social media. Feel free to continue using social media and video websites. But also invest in your own business, your own brand, your own audience—with your own website, and your own mobile and TV apps.
