Delivering Native Video Experiences in React Apps

Fri, 25 April

Videos are a powerful tool for enhancing user engagement and retention in modern web applications. While platforms like YouTube offer a quick embedding solution, they often introduce unwanted ads and distractions. Premium platforms such as Vimeo eliminate ads but can be cost-prohibitive. The key to a seamless user experience lies in building a native video solution that ensures fast streaming, optimal performance, and full control over content delivery.

This session explores practical strategies for implementing native video experiences in React applications, covering:

  • Leveraging APIs to enable dynamic video transformations with existing storage solutions.
  • Optimizing video performance to reduce buffering and maintain high quality.
  • Implementing adaptive streaming for seamless playback across devices.

Through real-world code samples and best practices, attendees will gain insights into scalable, high-performance video solutions that integrate smoothly with React applications.

Who Should Attend?
Front-end developers, React engineers, technical leads, and product managers looking to enhance video performance, user experience, and cost efficiency in their applications.
