The Video API for the JAMstack
Mux is video for developers. Our Video API was built for the JAMstack: you bring your application, we bring the streaming infrastructure from the future.
Deliver the highest quality video to your end users
Mux automatically optimizes the video experience for your viewers using innovative encoding processes which delivers an experience that’s measurably better than Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) alone.
Scales automatically
Our Video API was built to scale. You’ll never have to worry about spikes in usage or spinning up additional servers. Plus, there are no caps on the size or number of video files you can run through us.
Throw any file at us
We can ingest almost every available codec including those for broadcast and professional applications like H.264, H.265, VP9, and Apple ProRes.
Access to experts
To make sure you hit the ground running we'll give you access to the Mux experts to help you figure out how to build the best experience for your streaming conference.
