With Digital Commons’ Native Streaming, you no longer need to locate a streaming server at your institution or use a third-party platform. Digital Commons supports streaming media on article metadata pages so you can showcase your most dynamic content front and center—stream your institution’s video and audio files directly from the article page. Simply upload each file and it will be ready to stream on a range of devices after a short conversion process. Native Streaming includes usage metrics, supports closed-captioning, and provides unlimited storage space. Plus, you have safe, reliable storage for all your streamed content within your institutional repository.

It’s easy to get started: Digital Commons is offering a one-time retroactive Native Streaming service to support migration of existing streamed content. Please contact your Consulting Services representative for more information (or email us at support@bepress.com) and read our technical information and FAQs.
