My main use case for Brightcove is that our application is a fully video-based application with reels-kind of videos, live videos, and normal videos, and everything plays with the help of Brightcove. On a day-to-day basis, I use Brightcove because our complete platform depends on Brightcove video platform. Our complete platform's video depends on Brightcove, and we have two kinds of use cases where we have videos that play from Brightcove cloud itself, and another use case is there are live videos which are also played from Brightcove cloud, but we have an option to play some videos locally and we use Brightcove player to play it manually in our application. The entire application depends on Brightcove video platform, and that is what we are working on, along with fixing bugs and implementing features with that. Regarding my interaction with Brightcove, I usually integrate Brightcove SDK for iOS into our application to play videos. On a weekly basis, we receive analytics from Brightcove, which is very useful for us to know which video got many views and how the trend is going. I also work on building features on top of Brightcove, and that is my usual day-to-day work with Brightcove.
Our main use case for Brightcove is uploading videos and using the Brightcove link on our websites, as well as embedding the Brightcove link in our YouTube channel. We primarily use Brightcove for informative videos and self-explanatory videos that are easy for the audience to understand. Additionally, we upload leadership interviews about brand awareness using the platform. We also use Brightcove analytics to determine how the videos are performing content-wise.
For Brightcove, we use all of their video products, including video storage and management. We performed a huge migration from a legacy, analog, manual platform. It was not even a platform—it was just manual video consisting of hundreds of thousands of videos to Brightcove. We were converting analog video files to archived files from Georgia Public Broadcasting, which is part of the National Public Broadcasting Network. I live in the state of Georgia and was an executive at the state of Georgia. Brightcove won the contract through a colleague named Missy. We moved hundreds of thousands of videos from an old legacy platform into Brightcove, and they still use it today. Georgia Public Broadcasting uses that platform, and all of the state of Georgia's video assets are archived and streamed either live or as repeats where you can view something from yesterday or twenty years ago or fifty years ago in that platform. The whole idea was trying to get everything stabilized in a digital world rather than on this analog system that was deteriorating over time. I recommended it for a client who was a government entity, and I cannot disclose too much because I am under an NDA, but I am a big fan. Brightcove is a fantastic platform. They are doing much more than just video now. There is such a wide variety of content management capabilities. One of the features we really liked was their forward-thinking approach, especially from someone I worked with who came from the AP Newswire, which gave me a lot of respect for her recommendation and her strategic thought about how we should approach moving all this content over. Her team was amazing. I had a very good experience with the product. Studio is the Brightcove feature I recommended. The Designer piece was also really the two pieces that the client was most interested in. Being able to control layout and video layout was important. One aspect they really liked was the vector video features. Cross-browser mobile capability was one of the most important aspects, which they have revolutionized. Produced video shows up in high quality no matter what kind of device you are on, whether it is an Android or an Apple product or a desktop or a tablet. For this particular client, that was very, very important. They were also producing training videos, which was crucial, including onboarding HR video production and how-to videos. They also did compliance videos, including the required behavior at work training and OSHA training for work safety. Being a federal government entity, they were highly regulated. The ease of use of the platform was critical. Back when I used it years ago, the user interface was easy and required very little training. You could bring in a novice professional marketing person, video production person, or even an administrative person and it did not take a lot of effort getting people up to speed. I once worked on a Coca-Cola project to migrate and consolidate their websites to Adobe AEM, which was a complex transition. It is partly technology and partly managing human behavior since we are changing mindsets about producing engaging video content. I know companies include ITA Group that engage Brightcove for managing live feeds during virtual events. They register people through Cvent, but they utilize Brightcove to deliver quality live feeds for attendees. This feature has become crucial post-COVID for events so that if attendees cannot be physically present, they can still participate. It is more complicated to set up than your typical conferencing software such as Zoom.

My usual use cases for Brightcove involve being more responsible for using it operationally, where we upload dynamically our content to Brightcove and then use their player to showcase it to our customers, which includes VOD and live streams. For live stream, we have two types: one using Brightcove's live module and the other using our own live stream encoder with Brightcove's player.
We have been using Brightcove to host our corporate videos on the website and link it to our corporate website where we engage with the product videos and also with personal interviews and demo videos of our products. We record a video or create a video through one of our video creation tools, and then we host it on Brightcove, provide all the necessary details, descriptions, and tags, which are necessary to set the video in the right category, and then we get the URL to publish that video on our Adobe Experience Manager website. We were looking for the right platform where we can host our videos and maintain our GDPR compliance and policies. YouTube was one of the preferred open-source platforms where we can publish our public videos, but to host our private videos, we were looking for an alternative and Brightcove did the job very well.
For the video streaming that we are hosting, we use Brightcove for video streaming. In my use case, when someone is getting live, we stream live with the help of Brightcove so that if we have big traffic, it gets automatically adjusted, and we get smooth streaming.We have one educational domain-based application. I cannot take the name of the project, but it is a quite big player. We use Brightcove for live streaming. There is a person who comes live and gives sessions, and we use Brightcove for live streaming for that purpose.
My main use case for Brightcove involves our e-commerce website targeting beauty-related products, where our content creators developed videos for us that we utilized as reviews. I utilized Brightcove for hosting and managing video content for our website, including embedded videos and the tracking of the videos. A specific example of how I used Brightcove for our e-commerce website includes a reels-kind of feature where we post all the user-related feedback for a specific product. For example, if I'm using a perfume from Sephora, we would ask the user to create feedback for the specific products or even for promotions. We collect those videos and host those videos on Brightcove, and we embed Brightcove player onto our application so that a wider audience can see it. This was the primary feature our app received for utilizing the video content, streaming, as well as tracking the viewer engagement about how our team interacted with Brightcove.
