On-demand video service is the ongoing Trend in the internet market. American video streaming services – Netflix & Amazon Prime are roughly a few years old in many countries but have already begun to run profitably.

The success of Amazon Prime & Netflix in the West is primarily driven by the original content, since pretty much everything else is available on either YouTube (which also recently entered the live TV streaming industry) or other online video streaming services.

Also, the subscription plans should be designed in a manner that they cater needs of a wide range of viewers, and seem light on the pocket for all.

Additionally, a video streaming website/app is a rather resource consuming platform; thus, extra efforts are required to ensure a seamless performance (despite weak network signals) and robustness (despite the load of concurrent users) of the system.

To take care of these concerns, it is important that you outsource your video streaming web project to an agency that is competent enough to handle such projects & experienced enough to deliver a rich user experience to the web audience.
