In the past, television was the only medium that could provide live video technology to consumers. This meant that if you did not have or could not afford a television then you were out of touch when it came to all sorts of news and current events. Thankfully, this is no longer the case due to the advances in high speed Internet. Not only is Internet now available to the masses, but it is also available at affordable prices. As more people continue to use high speed internet, the prices are likely to continue to fall which means great things for those looking to harness technology to provide live video streaming.
Live Streaming Available to Anyone with an Internet Connection
As is the case in many industries, high speed internet at affordable prices has allowed people across all economic classes to view live video content. In fact, the Internet is becoming the preferred medium to distribute live video content for a variety of reasons.

New Innovations from TikiLIVE
TikiLIVE is poised to handle all of your live streaming needs. As our user base grows, we continue to add new features to our suite of services that make their live streaming experience faster and easier. Some of our newest features include:
- Support for the Latest Codec – TikiLIVE is now offering full support for the new, h.265 codec. H.265 is designed to offer the same, if not better quality as h.264, but using much less bandwidth. This means that file sizes are smaller and the strain on content delivery networks is much less. All of these changes are handled behind the scenes, but customers should remain confident that TikiLIVE is always innovating to improve the customer experience.
- Support for Multiple File Formats – Through TikiLIVE’s Monster Encoder, you can easily upload all types of video formats. This allows you to create content and easily upload it to TikiLIVE servers regardless of your preferred file type.
- IPTV Support – As more people “cut the cord” with cable television, IPTV will become more important. Amazon, Netflix and Hulu are the leaders in this market, and TikiLIVE allows you to create content that will be available alongside these media powerhouses. You can easily create channels to be viewed on Roku devices and other set top boxes with TikiLIVE.
- Social Media Integration – Getting the word out about your video content on social media is increasingly important. TikiLIVE allows you to easily share content on a variety of social media networks including Google+, Twitter and Facebook.
- WordPress Integration – WordPress is the most popular CMS (Content Management System) used by website owners. TikiLIVE recognized the popularity of WordPress and has created a module that allows you to easily embed your video content into your WordPress site. This helps to cut down on the amount of time and coding needed to get your video content on your website.
