2018 Review: Best of Interactive Live Streaming with nanoStream Cloud & H5Live Player

2018 was a year of great discoveries.

In our 20th founding anniversary, we’ve seen nanoStream Cloud & H5Live Player take off, and enable several new interactive use cases that we have never imagined before. We have released new versions of H5Live Player, expanded our global CDN footprint, enabled social media live share with nanoStream Apps and SDKs, and improved nanoStream WebRTC.live. We have started the introduction of nanoStream Cloud Analytics and H5Live Metrics for better insights and QoS. We attended the biggest trade shows around the world, and met customers and partners for great discussions in shows such as IBC, StreamingMedia East and West, Broadcast Asia, ICE, G2E and many more. We have joined important roundtables and panels to discuss the future of live streaming. We have launched our own Youtube channel. We saw our team grow, and we have even moved into a brand new office!
