Powerful SDKs & APIs: Deployed by leading publishers around the world, the Brightcove Mobile SDKs & CMS API enables developers to quickly create video experiences that extend across mobile devices, set-up boxes and voice powered virtual assistant devices.
At Brightcove, we've long understood the way viewers consume content is changing, and it's our responsibility to ensure our publishers' content is future proof' for any new device or viewing experience. The introduction of the Echo Show provides our customers with another powerful opportunity to reach their audiences, Chris Fuller, vice president, Global Solutions, Brightcove, said.
This new device has the potential to be a watershed event for the digital assistant industry and opens a significant opportunity for our customers to reach new audiences, monetize content, and extend their brands across one of the fastest growing device ecosystems in history, Fuller continues.
