Project description DEENESFRITPL Live-streaming through Covid-19 Live-streaming and video-streaming software services have revolutionised online information dissemination. While live-streaming remains time-consuming and expensive, the video-streaming market has been growing, worldwide. But the situation created by Covid-19 has opened the doors to live-streaming as a method of supporting both audiences and production companies. The EU-funded Contentflow project offers a flexible live-streaming platform for different formats. It allows audiences to gain real-time access to information, and supports companies that share information by live-streaming events during the pandemic. The technology offers a cloud-based engine that permits exporting and live-clipping of live streams, automated subtitles in all major languages, white label solutions, parallel live-streaming, player functionality, live-stream editing, streaming in full high definition, and re-streaming to all major social platforms.
