We’re excited to announce the debut of the Mux Partner Program to accelerate the next generation of great video products. There was a quaint time when a single software suite could meet the needs of a business trying to stream video for the first time. But today, every company is a media company, and there is no one-size-fits-all product to meet all their video needs. In the words of our partner Contentful: today people want stacks, not suites.

We know that great products are not built from single tools or one great technology; it takes many platforms and many different components to create something outstanding. Philosophically, we built Mux to complement other tools.

Our goal with this partner program is to simplify and speed time to market for our customers.

We’ve been delighted by the ecosystem that’s grown organically thus far, and we look forward to supporting many more partners.

There are three pillars of the new program:

  1. Cloud alliances: Tight integrations with cloud technologies streamline workflows and save valuable time, and we're excited to work with major cloud vendors to bring Mux Video and Mux Data to a larger audience. We’re expanding Mux’s capabilities with service-level integrations such as data warehousing and machine learning. To simplify purchase and procurement, AWS and Google Cloud customers can now make Mux part of a larger cloud solution by buying Mux directly through their existing partners.
  2. Platform partnerships: Combine Mux with complementary platforms such as captions services, content management, moderation, community and chat tools, video editing, and live encoding hardware. We’ve developed tight integrations with products and platforms like Agnoplay, Contentful, Sanity, and Strapi. And we've been delighted to find new products emerge that use Mux creatively, including the high-quality live audio product Gramrphone and the Videon broadcast-quality compute platform.
  3. Solutions partnerships: Build your 1.0 with OTT rockstars like Accedo, A Different Engine, Deltatre, or Diagnal. Design your video product with specialized design and development shops like 2Coders, Metal Toad, Qualabs, Rocket Insights, or SweatWorks.

Ensure video looks great at the source with the Mux integration on Videon.

Stream high-quality audio directly from core music apps with Gramrphone.
