What Is a Video Streaming Platform?
A video streaming platform is a service that supports a wide range of uses, including event streaming, internal training, and public relations.
It enables secure, high-quality video delivery and management in real time or on demand with ease.
Benefits of Introducing Video Streaming
-
Information distribution without dependence on a physical venue
Content can be delivered regardless of participants’location, as streaming and viewing are possible from anywhere.
-
Cost reduction and scalability
Venue and travel costs can be reduced, while enabling scalable distribution unique to online delivery.
-
Optimizing ROI through data-driven insights and log analysis
Leverage viewing history to refine content strategies and enhance audience targeting. Quantifiable metrics facilitate a continuous improvement cycle, supporting your efforts to maximize ROI.
Solving Your Video Streaming Challenges
Difficulty forecasting distribution costs
With usage-based pricing models where fees fluctuate depending on the number of views or distribution volume, it can be difficult to plan monthly budgets and manage costs. SmartSTREAM is available with a fixed monthly fee, making costs clear and budget management worry-free. With the Premium Plan, both distribution volume and number of views are unlimited, allowing you to stream freely.
*Restrictions may apply during periods of heavy access (over 10,000 concurrent connections).
Few services can accommodate short-term event streaming
For one-off events or short-term campaigns, services requiring long-term contracts can limit flexibility.
With SmartSTREAM, you can get started with just a one-month commitment.
It easily supports event streaming and limited-time promotions.
Concerns about security for limited-access or internal distribution
For internal training or paid-member-only content that must be securely delivered to a specific audience, some users feel uneasy about managing access controls and security settings. SmartSTREAM comes standard with access control functions such as password authentication and domain restrictions.
Content can be securely delivered only to designated viewers, allowing you to share content with confidence.
Unstable streaming causing video interruptions
Depending on streaming equipment performance, issues such as video freezing or audio dropouts may occur. SmartSTREAM delivers stable, high-quality video using a robust streaming infrastructure that leverages NTT Group domestic data centers and a large-capacity backbone network. It can be used with confidence even for large-scale events.
Concerns due to lack of knowledge or know-how about video streaming
For first-time video streaming, there may be concerns about equipment selection, configuration methods, and how to manage streaming operations. From implementation through operation, video streaming professionals provide support.
By providing total support including filming, editing, and production, you can confidently leave everything to us even for your first stream.
Why Choose SmartSTREAM’s Video Streaming Platform
The SmartSTREAM video platform makes it easy to stream video over the internet. It is ideal for customers who want to get started quickly and easily.
Reliable Fixed Monthly Pricing
You can choose from two plans based on your streaming needs and scale (Basic: 50,000 yen/month; Premium: 100,000 yen/month). While many services charge based on streaming volume or number of views, our Premium Plan offers unlimited streaming. With predictable flat-rate pricing, you can stream freely with confidence.
Available for Short-Term Use
The minimum usage period is one month, allowing flexible support for limited-time streaming such as events or campaigns.
Highly Secure Streaming
By using access control functions such as password authentication and domain restrictions, SmartSTREAM enables secure video streaming exclusively to limited users, such as internal audiences or paid members. This prevents the risk of information leaks and unauthorized viewing, protecting your valuable content.

"Stable" and "High-quality" streaming is achieved through domestic NTT data centers and a large-capacity backbone network.
