Live-to-VoD converts live streams into on-demand content.
Live-to-VoD is a streaming workflow that captures a live video stream and converts it into a Video on Demand (VoD) asset. This allows viewers to watch live content again after the broadcast has ended or to join from the beginning while the stream is still live.
Live content has high production value but limited viewing windows. Live-to-VoD extends the lifespan of live events, increases total watch time, and maximizes content ROI by making live streams accessible beyond their original broadcast.
During a live stream, video segments are continuously recorded and stored in a media library. Once the event ends—or even during the live broadcast—these segments are stitched together, processed, and published as an on-demand asset with proper metadata and playback controls.
Live-to-VoD is widely used for sports events, concerts, conferences, religious services, and news broadcasts. It enables features such as replay, catch-up viewing, and post-event highlights across OTT apps, web platforms, and Smart TVs.
