Grabyo is a browser-based live video production suite integrated with popular social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Periscope. The cloud-based technology is used by sports federations and media companies to produce professional-quality live streams and video clips for digital audiences.
The company produces and distributes live shows (such as sports or music events) and video clips (such as pre-match warm-ups, behind-the-scene activities and instant highlights). For example, Grabyo's technology was used by Eurosport to publish over 9,000 social video clips during the winter Olympics.[1] It is used to build digital fan bases, drive TV audiences and generate revenue from third party sponsors and pay-TV subscriptions.[2]
