Company Profile

To Build the World's Most Diverse Video Knowledge-sharing Platform.

Niche Video Media provides a secured streaming video platform to individuals and businesses that allows customers to brand, share, and monetize their video content to a global audience without investing in video infrastructure or costly skill sets.

By marrying the concept of a video platform with community building, we help customers create a valuable communications asset that engages their unique audiences around their unique content.

 

Put simply, you produce live or recorded video content.
We:

  • - securely store it in the cloud, linked to your web site and brand.
  • - stream it only to your authorized users anytime, in any language, anywhere on any device.
  • - and engage their feedback about it to your community.
