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.
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.
We can ingest almost every available codec including those for broadcast and professional applications like H.264, H.265, VP9, and Apple ProRes.
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.
POST the URL of any video file using the Mux API. Mux will ingest the file, create a video asset, and prepare it for streaming.
