Hoping to save myself some investigation time by asking the forum ...
What are some very simple legal options for online content hosting that we could use with TNEW? In other words, a service that allow us to use TNEW as the paywall with an embedded iframe link to the content? We have very limited needs at this point and are not looking for all the added features that come with many service providers. For now, just prerecorded content, no livestreams.
We use Vimeo Enterprise.
Do we know if you have to have the enterprise level of Vimeo to put it behind a paywall?
I believe that is required, or was for us.
I am very interested in what users have to about this as well.
These are the services listed by Tessitura as possibilities.
MUX was also mentioned by an organization in a recent webinar about virtual events.
We use 5stream who are amazing, though a lot of their services are (probably) Australia only - like they will actually film all our events as well as streaming. Great to talk to though.
We have been using IBM/Ustream, which works very well and plays nicely with TNEW so far!
I'm really interested to hear how you find ustream and what you use it for. Can I shoot you an email?
We are in a kooky position where we have online dance classes which would be great for a streaming service with a membership model like Vimeo OTT but also a few online performances that are better off as one shots. And overlap of the segments is very niche
