Hey PH community 👀 I'm Arjun, Product Manager at 100ms, with my founders @gupta_kshi, @aniket1by2, @sdvd & colleagues @saikat_mitra and @sooddvs. Thanks, @kevin, for hunting us! 🤗 Since launching 100ms on PH last year, we've helped thousands of companies add video calls to their products. 100ms now serves millions of minutes daily for our customers. Along the way, we learnt that our customers want to scale a video call to millions of users, while retaining interactivity. They were juggling 2-3 SDKs to achieve this: one for video calling, one for live streaming and yet another for interactivity. Video calls are interactive, but cannot scale to millions of users. Live streams on the other hand can scale to millions, but haven’t been as interactive. To fulfil emerging use-cases, the worlds of video calling and live streaming need to merge. Today, we're launching Interactive Live Streaming on 100ms, which combines the interactivity of video calls with the ability to scale to millions with a single SDK. *And we are offering 100,000 minutes of live streaming for FREE if you sign up today* 🕹 The opportunity: The world of live streaming is changing The lines between video calling and live streaming are blurring. The pandemic has accelerated the explosion of large-scale interactive live streaming across industries like retail, education, events, gaming, and social. Live streaming has now become: 📱 “Embedded” inside thousands of apps, and not just on the big social media platforms 🤳 “Democratised” with streamers going live from their mobile devices over unreliable networks 💬 “Interactive” with audiences engaging with streamers via chat, reactions, polls 👫 “Collaborative” where streamers collaborate with each other to experiment with newer formats This is an opportunity to create a new infrastructure for live streaming, and not limit streaming to one-way broadcasts hosted by professional creators. 🤓 Our solution: Interactive Live Streaming with 100ms We built the 100ms Live Stream SDK for this new world of live streaming. With 100ms, you can: 🛠 Customise your stream to deeply integrate with your app 🌎 Enable your customers to start streaming from anywhere 👯‍♀️ Engage your audiences by bringing anyone as a co-host 📈 Scale to millions of viewers 🙋More details?

We've worked very hard on this launch, hope you love the product as much as we do : )

This is awesome - bringing interactivity into large scale video streaming. What kind of usecases do you see this enabling today? Into the future do you think this could disrupt how we imagine traditional video broadcasts?

This is a really interesting service! But first off congratulations on the launch!

Looks awesome.

Proud and blessed to be a part of this rocketship! <3

Looks great! The culmination of a lot of effort to make things effortless for other people.

Super cool @sooddvs !!! 🙌

This is soo cool! Love the possibilities

Amazing product!

This is visionary. Great stuff; kudos to the entire team!

Congratulations on the launch! The product definitely looks promising, would love to try it.

The business of building products is finding product-market fit. And then scaling them reliably with stable infra after that. Finding PMF and building stable infra are both incredibly tough challenges. Consider Facebook Live and Instagram Live. Facebook had to figure out PMF and build the stable infra for their live product together, while Instagram focussed purely on finding PMF, piggy-backing on the infra already built out by FB. Our job at 100ms is to provide the stable infra that allows teams to move fast and focus on PMF and scaling for their live video products. Building stable infra for live video is especially difficult. Most developer teams end up using multiple infra providers eg. Edtech products can have - 1:1 mentoring sessions - A classroom with ~50 students and 1 teacher - An auditorium like webinar with ~5000 students - A mega live stream with 50k students In order to handle these, at-least 3 separate infra providers are required. - Video conferencing, Live streaming and Chat - which makes it super complex for teams to build as well as maintain. It’s difficult to move fast with 3 different infra providers. We heard this problem loud and clear and are now extending our Conferencing Infra to have the ability of Interactive Live Streaming as well within a single SDK. This allows product teams to move fast and iterate significantly faster while building live video products. At FB, infra team’s tagline used to be “Move Fast with Stable Infra”. With 100ms we’re trying to help teams “Move Fast with Simple Infra”

Such a smart move to expand into streaming. Congrats on the launch @arjunattam!

tried the website, and I must say that it looks cool. Congratulations on the launch 🚀.

Loved the journey, love the results even more. Big shoutout to the awesome team at 100ms, glad to be a part of this 🚀

Congratulations to 100ms team! We at Shuru app connects users with other users and businesses in their area. With 100ms, we built a live peer-to-peer connect feature in our app. Early users have reported excellent audio and video quality. Looking forward to check this live streaming out. Thank you for the great support. Kudos :)

Absolutely exciting!

Congrats on the launch, folks! The product looks incredibly polished. Great job. What are some of the unique use-cases your customers have adopted the solution for that surprised (in a good way!) you?
