Have you ever wondered how audio technology will impact the leading video streaming platforms in the next 2 years?

The Video Streaming market consists of multiple facets: Live Events, Live TV, Music, Podcast and Talk Radio, User-Generated Video, and Video on Demand. We recognize leading companies in these categories today as Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, ESPN, MLB.tv, DirecTV NOW, YouTube TV, Twitch, iHeartRadio, Pandora Music, Sirius XM, Spotify, HBO Now, and more.

Today, most streaming of live events occurs on laptops and smartphones, which have limited audio capabilities. Streaming platforms simply don't prioritize audio quality as they're more concerned with creating stable connections and increasing video quality. This is largely due to a lack of appreciation and demand for lossless audio among streaming customers.

Consumers are very aware of the inconsistencies in audio volume across content and sessions on these platforms.  Video streaming platforms that invest in higher quality audio and solve for these technology obstacles will ultimately surface as the market leaders.
