Features

Everything you need.

One-to-many live streaming

Stream from a camera, screen, or RTMP source to thousands of viewers simultaneously — with automatic adaptive bitrate.

Live audience interaction

Real-time Q&A, polls, emoji reactions, and live chat alongside your stream — all managed via API or HOVA dashboard.

Global CDN delivery

HOVA's streaming CDN delivers your broadcast from edge nodes closest to your viewers — reducing buffering for African audiences.

Embeddable player

Drop a branded, customisable player into any webpage or app with a single line of code. No third-party iframe required.

RTMP & SRT ingest

Send your stream from OBS, Wirecast, or any broadcast software via RTMP or SRT — HOVA handles everything downstream.

Stream protection

Token-authenticated streams, domain allowlisting, geo-restrictions, and watermarking to protect your content.

Live viewer analytics

Real-time concurrent viewers, watch time, geographic distribution, and engagement rate — all updated live.

Recording & VOD

Automatically record every broadcast. Published as Video on Demand with the same embeddable player — zero re-upload.
