Opportunities to stream video and audio content are on the rise, from TV Everywhere and live linear TV to over-the-top (OTT) content and subscription video-on-demand (SVOD). As such, organizations are challenged to deliver video streaming technology across devices and channels. 

Video is permeating society, and churches worldwide need to be sure they leverage it while staying within budget. In a recent survey from AT&T, 41 percent of respondents said they use mobile devices to connect to faith-based organizations or inspiration sites. With this shift in congregation viewership, churches everywhere are working toward quickly and easily live-streaming sermons, services, conferences, and other events to remote worshipers on various devices.

Live streaming helps churches expand the reach of their message to new audiences and deeply engage with their congregations, but managing costs and ensuring that live-streaming technologies are written into the budget is crucial to success. 

The music festival in Indio, California, kicks off its 17th year on Friday, and while its tried and true features will still be there —  the Ferris wheel, the enormous art installations and moreflower headbands than you ever asked for — there will also be a ton of shiny new toys meant to prove, like the Tupac hologram did in 2012, that the festival is still ahead of the tech game. Sony Music Entertainment and Wowza teamed up for a similar experience at last year's Lollapalooza Berlin, with a 360-degree virtual-reality live stream. 

With more sports events than ever being streamed live online, Wowza has seen leagues, broadcasters, universities, college conferences, and other organizations seek more–cost-effective, plug-and-play solutions that will deliver content live for fans without significantly driving up costs or personnel needs. 

LiveU will demonstrate LiveU Solo, a new live streaming bonded solution for the online media market at the 2016 NAB Show. This plug-and-play system allows users to live stream by connecting automatically to popular content delivery networks, such as YouTube Live or Wowza Streaming Cloud. 

We visited with Carlos Perez, Chief Revenue Officer for Wowza Media Systems, to learn how app developers can successfully add mobile live video streaming to their app.

Wowza said organizations of any size can now quickly and affordably create their own new and improved apps that incorporate high-quality live video streaming on iOS and Android platforms, enabling users to broadcast live from mobile devices anywhere at any time. 

In this article and video interview, David Stubenvoll, CEO & Co-Founder of Wowza Media Systems, predicts what's coming in 2016 for the online video industry.
