Mux is a powerful API-first video streaming platform that makes building live streaming easy for any development team.
With clean documentation and straightforward onboarding, you don’t have to be a video expert to build live streaming into your web or native applications.
We provide battle-tested live video infrastructure that won’t get in the way so you can spend more time building unique experiences around and on top of your video.
Video infrastructure shouldn’t be a blocker to monetizing however you want. Give your customers the freedom to add digital tickets, merchandising, or anything else they want to support their event.
Broadcast live events to other platforms with Live Simulcasting. We make it easy to restream to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, and more.
Use the Mux Video API to connect your streamers with your video players.

Our infrastructure scales to handle thousands of concurrent live streamers and millions of viewers. You’ll never have to worry about spinning up additional servers when your event sells out.
Rather than require you to use a proprietary player, we made it easy to integrate with any video player you prefer. Don’t have a video player yet? Having built the leading open source web player, we can help you pick the right player for your app.
Our meticulously designed metrics and powerful filtering tools help you see what your users are experiencing, around the world and across devices.
To get into live streaming, there’s stress around getting something up: figuring out what your production is, what’s the content, and then all these other added layers to it. I think what we, in partnership with Mux, do is alleviate that fear on the way in. When you're in that stressful environment you just want something that is trustworthy, scalable, and reliable. ”
From the engineering side, one of the largest challenges that we have prepared for is the thundering herd problem where a live stream with a very popular artist could easily bring a couple million users to our site, all at the same time. This is probably the best part about not having to worry about our video streaming pipeline by using Mux. ”
