Real Sports Apps Powered By Stream

Teamworks knew Stream could support its unique use case. They found the chat API and React and React Native SDKs to be feature-rich, the Edge network to be reliable and scalable, and the documentation to be complete.

Hudl replaced its in-house messaging system with Stream Chat to scale communication for athletes, coaches, and fans—enhancing its in-app community while supporting seasonal traffic spikes and strict safety requirements.

Fitelo replaced WhatsApp with Stream Chat to deliver secure, scalable, in-app communication between users and dietitians—improving engagement, data privacy, and coaching outcomes.
