Included
Add-on upgrade
Edge Network
Stream Chat's performance relies on users’ proximity to a regional data center with servers all around the globe. This reduces latency by up to five times and provides consistent global performance.
Included
Included
Included
Dynascale
Dynascale dynamically changes the video resolution and codecs to optimize to what’s displayed on the screen. IE if your video is only shown in a tiny thumbnail we’ll automatically change your upload to low quality. If you start talking and people are looking at your video in high resolution we automatically start sending high quality. This is similar to how Zoom works and enables you to scale to calls with 1000 people (since not everyone is active at the same time).

Frequently Asked Questions
Every video provider has to make a tradeoff between quality and costs. Stream gives you control over this choice by offering 3 plans.
If 7 users talk for 10 minutes, the total number of participant minutes is 7 * 10 = 70
You can build any type of calling, live-streaming or audio room experience. You have full control over the user experience. Stream offers both low level API access (which is the most flexible) or ready made UI components. The UI components are less flexible but enable you to launch in days.
Stream runs servers around the world. This ensures the best call quality & reliability. It's a similar architecture to what apps like Zoom do. Stream is one of the few cloud infrastructure vendors to offer this.
Dynascale automatically changes the video resolution, codecs and framerate to optimize your call. This enables calls to scale to thousands of participants. It also makes Stream easy to integrate. Some of our customers integrate in days.
It all depends on how much UI you have to build. Some use cases can be built in days, others will take a few weeks to tailor the UI. We have easy to use quick starts and sample apps for video calling, livestreaming and audio rooms.
The quality is priced at the highest quality level the user is publishing or receiving. For instance if a user is publishing HD video, and watching full HD the pricing will apply at the full HD rate.
Support plans are shared across all of Stream's products. You can read more about the [available options here](/enterprise/).

Why Stream Video
Video is built on WebRTC and benchmarked to 1M+ concurrent participants. It optimizes codecs, resolution, bitrate and bandwidth automatically, and Dynascale routes every call through the best available edge. One platform covers everything from private calls to large live events.
