If you're a Vimeo OTT customer asking that right now, you're not alone, and your concern is justified. Consolidation, mergers, and large-scale layoffs across the OTT and OVP space have left many publishers exposed.

The good news? You don't have to wait for things to break.

Lightcast: Built for Stability, Designed for the Long Term

At Lightcast, OTT isn't a feature. It's our entire business.

For more than 15 years, we've helped creators, broadcasters, schools, ministries, and businesses run stable, scalable streaming operations without vendor lock-in or platform uncertainty.

Why customers are moving to Lightcast now:

• 15+ years in OTT - proven, focused, and independent

AI-Automated Migration: As Simple as Pointing to a Folder

This is where Lightcast is fundamentally different.

Migration does not have to be complex, risky, or resource-intensive.

With Lightcast, migration is AI-automated and often as simple as:

Pointing Lightcast to your video file folder.

That's it.

From there, Lightcast Media Cloud's AI handles the rest:

• Automatically ingests your video library
• Transcodes and optimizes files for every platform
• Generates metadata, thumbnails, and images
• Creates subtitles, translations, and dubbing (optional)
• Structures content into channels, playlists, and apps
• Publishes everywhere simultaneously

No manual re-uploading. No rebuilding catalogs by hand. No weeks of engineering work.

What used to take months can now take days.

One Platform. Every Screen. Total Control.

Once migrated, Lightcast lets you operate your entire media business from one unified dashboard.

Launch and manage custom-branded apps across:

• Smart TVs and OTT platforms
• iOS and Android
• Web players
• Podcast platforms
• Smart cars and emerging devices

All content is published once and delivered everywhere automatically.

This Isn't Just a Platform Switch. It's Ownership and Future-Proofing.

Moving away from an unstable provider isn't just about avoiding risk.

It's about:

• Owning your audience
• Owning your data
• Owning your revenue
• Owning your roadmap

Lightcast was built to give publishers independence, not dependency.
