net is an all-in-one video streaming platform and REST API. It handles automated multi-bitrate video transcoding (HLS adaptive bitrate streaming), secure video storage, digital rights management (DRM token authentication), customizable HTML5 web players, and global CDN delivery.

In Nigeria, high streaming fees from providers like Vimeo OTT or AWS MediaLive can make video platforms prohibitively expensive. Bunny Stream empowers Nigerian edtech platforms (remote learning courses, coding bootcamps), churches, and Nollywood indie streaming portals to host secure, buffer-free video at a fraction of standard cloud rates.
