Video Player - Brightcove
Brightcove Video Player delivers secure, high-quality video playback across web, mobile, and TV platforms using both HTML5 and native SDKs. Built by Brightcove, it supports adaptive streaming, DRM, monetization, and analytics for large-scale OTT and enterprise video experiences.
How Video Player - Brightcove + Enveu works
Enveu uses Brightcove as the video playback layer, while Enveu acts as the OTT experience, business, and orchestration layer.
Here’s the simple flow:
- Content & streams are hosted and managed in Brightcove (VoD, Live, DRM-enabled streams).
- Enveu apps (Web, iOS, Android, Smart TVs) embed Brightcove Player or native SDKs for playback.
- When a user presses play, Enveu validates access (login, subscription, entitlement, geo rules).
- Enveu securely fetches playback URLs and policies from Brightcove via APIs.
- Brightcove Player/SDK handles adaptive playback, DRM enforcement, and streaming performance. Analytics, ads, and QoE data flow from Brightcove, while Enveu tracks users, subscriptions, and business metrics.
In short: Enveu controls who can watch, what they can watch, and where it appears — Brightcove ensures how the video plays securely and smoothly at scale.
