VdoCipher has launched its live streaming platform tailored for educators, enterprises, and digital platforms, addressing key pain points in scalability, cost, and functionality that traditional tools like Zoom or Google Meet cannot fully support for large-scale, embedded broadcasts. The solution delivers broadcast-grade performance with true DVR controls, automatic recording-to-VOD conversion, and significantly lower bandwidth costs, making it ideal for long-form, paid, or regulated content delivery.

  • VdoCipher Live supports true DVR functionality, allowing viewers to pause, rewind, and replay up to six hours of an ongoing live stream.
  • Every live session is automatically recorded and instantly available as adaptive VOD, eliminating separate recording or hosting steps.
  • The platform achieves 30–60% lower bandwidth costs than traditional providers, with a one-hour HD stream for 100 viewers costing approximately $4.50.
  • It handles up to 50 concurrent live streams, suitable for multi-classroom training, enterprise events, or high-volume educational broadcasts.
  • Built-in interactive tools include authenticated/anonymous Q&A, chat, live polls, quizzes, emoji reactions, and moderation for enhanced engagement.
  • Security and control features offer domain-level access restrictions, API automation for scheduling and concurrency, and upcoming DRM with dynamic watermarking for live streams.

As live streaming becomes essential for educators, enterprises, and digital platforms, many organizations struggle with high costs, scaling issues, and content delivery. VdoCipher's live streaming platform is built to solve these problems with a broadcast-grade experience that is scalable and cost-effective.

Popular tools like Zoom and Google Meet are great for meetings, but they are not built for large-scale live broadcasts inside websites or apps. On the other hand, many traditional live streaming platforms come with high bandwidth costs, limited concurrent streams, and weak control over viewers and content, especially for long-form, paid, or regulated use cases.

"Most live streaming platforms were not built for businesses that need scale, and cost predictability," said Siddhant Jain, Founder & CEO of VdoCipher. "At VdoCipher, we focused on solving real operational gaps such as DVR controls, concurrent streams, and content delivery while keeping bandwidth costs practical for high-volume use cases."

Built for Real-World Live Streaming Use Cases VdoCipher Live offers true DVR functionality, allowing viewers to pause, rewind, and replay up to six hours of an ongoing live stream. Every session is automatically recorded and immediately available as adaptive video-on-demand (VOD), removing the need for separate recording or hosting workflows.

The platform is optimized for cost efficiency at scale, delivering 30–60% lower bandwidth costs compared to traditional providers. A one-hour HD stream for 100 viewers costs approximately $4.50, compared to $6.30–$12.60 on competing platforms. VdoCipher Live supports up to 50 concurrent live streams, making it suitable for enterprises, training providers, and multi-classroom environments.

Platform Automation, Interactive Tools Built for platform-led businesses, VdoCipher provides APIs for stream automation, scheduling, concurrency management, and authenticated chat. Domain-level access restrictions prevent unauthorized embedding and misuse, reducing piracy and compliance risks.

Engagement features include authenticated and anonymous QnA's, chat, live polls, quizzes, emoji reactions, and moderation tools, supporting interactive learning and participation across education, training, and event-based use cases.

Roadmap Focused on Advanced Live Capabilities Upcoming enhancements include semi-audio conferencing, DRM and dynamic watermarking for live streams, browser-based streaming without third-party software, real-time analytics, and customizable player controls.
