Streaming Platform Development in Dundee
Building video streaming for Dundee businesses delivering content at scale — training libraries, live events, subscription video. Video is unlike other web content: bandwidth costs are real and ongoing, and the difference between a good and poor player is immediately obvious to viewers.
Why this comes up
The problem
Video gets self-hosted from a web server. It buffers on slower connections, plays badly on mobile, and the bandwidth bill arrives as a surprise the month something gets popular.
What you get
What we deliver
- Adaptive bitrate streaming, so quality adjusts to the viewer's connection
- Transcoding into the formats and resolutions real devices need
- Delivery through a CDN, which is the difference between smooth and buffering
- Access control tied to entitlement, with signed URLs rather than guessable links
- Live streaming where required, including the fallback when an encoder drops
- Bandwidth costs modelled before launch rather than discovered on the invoice

Streaming Platform Development in Dundee — common questions
- Can we host video ourselves?
- For a handful of short clips, yes. Beyond that it goes badly — no adaptive quality, poor mobile playback, and bandwidth costs that scale unpredictably. A specialist video platform is cheaper than the engineering time to approximate one.
- What does streaming actually cost?
- It scales with minutes watched rather than uploaded, so the bill follows success. Modelling it against realistic viewing figures before launch avoids the situation where a popular month is financially painful.
- Can we stop people downloading the video?
- You can make it substantially harder with signed URLs, encryption and expiring links. You cannot make it impossible — screen recording defeats every protection. Price and plan on the assumption that determined copying happens.
- What is different about live streaming?
- There is no second chance, which changes where the effort goes. Encoder failures, network drops and capacity problems all happen live in front of an audience rather than being caught in testing, so the work concentrates on redundancy, fallback streams and rehearsal rather than on the player itself.
- Do you work with businesses across Dundee City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Dundee and the surrounding Dundee City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Dundee businesses do you usually work with?
- Interactive and games-adjacent development, plus life sciences data systems tied to the university research base. Beyond that we work across Games & Digital, Life Sciences, Higher Education, Healthcare and Marine.
- Do you cover the areas around Dundee?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Perth, Aberdeen, Edinburgh. Dundee is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Dundee City region rather than the city boundary alone.
