In this on-demand Q&A session we covered the most critical factors every OTT service needs to stand out in today’s highly saturated streaming market.

The most common saying (and strategy) in video streaming is “Content is king”, but that’s rarely enough to stand out in today’s landscape. As every streaming service is investing heavily in content, having the best catalog is no longer enough to capture and retain your audience’s attention, especially if they can’t unlock the content’s full potential.

To set you apart from the competition you need to bring all the quality-based features to your audience. This includes things like high-dynamic-range (HDR), multichannel audio, better compression, broad device support, and cohesive viewer experiences with enhanced interactive features.

Streaming viewership surpassed cable in July 2022. Over-the-top (OTT) platforms like Netflix, YouTube, and Hulu now claim the largest share of TV content consumers — with traditional broadcast usage steadily declining.

It’s clear that OTT distribution is the way of the future, but what’s less clear is which monetization method will dominate the landscape. Subscription-based models have long been the go-to for streaming providers. Increasingly, though, industry leaders are experimenting with alternative and supplementary tactics for converting content into cash.

Today’s streaming platforms are combining multiple strategies for generating revenue and reaching viewers. And while it’s wise to consider all of these monetization models when building an OTT service, it’s also a good idea to minimize complexity and infrastructure costs where possible.

In this guide to OTT video monetization, we cover it all: different revenue models and trends, technical considerations across the end-to-end workflow, and the nitty-gritty of putting all to work for your business. Whether you’re launching a new streaming service or revamping your existing strategy, you’ll gain a ton of insight into how all the pieces of the monetization puzzle fit together.
