Video Streaming App Development

Usually, creating a video streaming app with crucial features takes 5-6 months, and suppose if you want to include advanced features, it may take more time. The time depends on the requirements and functionalities you want to implement in your app.

First, while using a live streaming app, the client device, which may be a smartphone or computer, does not download the video; it works directly. The video is being sent over the internet in real-time. In technical terms, it works like this-

• Video compression
• Encoding
• File segmentation
• CDN(Content Delivery Network) distribution
• CDN caching
• Decoding
• Video playback

There is a conceptual difference between video streaming and live streaming. Video streaming means users access recorded files to playback with the help of their internet-enabled devices. On the other hand, live streaming refers to the live videos sent over the internet, and there is no need to download these videos.

You can focus on any platform for launching your video streaming app. There are two major platforms that you can focus on.e., Android and iOS. Both are fantastic platforms to launch your next video streaming app. Especially for US users, it would be an excellent idea to go with iOS app development or an app like Apple TV.
