What's this blog post about?

Mux Video is an API that simplifies video publishing by combining encoding, storage, and delivery into one platform. It replaces the need to build a video streaming platform from single-function APIs or hand over control to third-party OVPs. However, it does not replace players, CMS, or workflow management. Mux Video is designed for developers building video functionality into their software applications and supports both live video and video files. It is not suitable for real-time video conferencing or individual content creators without development resources. The team behind Mux Video consists of experts from YouTube, Oculus, Twitch, and Brightcove. To try it out, sign up for a free account and make two simple API calls.
