Enjoy fast, simplified deployments on the widest range of devices with Bitmovin

Our Web SDK supports the broadest range of devices, including official support for LG and Samsung TVs, unlike Shaka Player which leaves you open to development issues. As a HTML5-based player, Shaka is unable to support native playback on iOS, Android or Roku. With Bitmovin you get dedicated SDKs, backed by extensive documentation, tutorials and video experts for each of these platforms.
