KStream for business
Your own streaming service, on the platform that runs KStream.
Your brand, your domain, your catalogue and your prices — on the web and on TVs from day one. We run the platform; you run the channel.
Where your viewers watch
- Included
Web
A full site on your own domain: sign-in, browse, search, player, profiles and payments. Viewers can install it on their phone straight from the browser.
- Included
TV browsers
The same catalogue in a layout made for a remote, in the browser of Samsung, LG and other smart TVs, and on a laptop plugged into the screen. Store listings on Samsung and LG come with the native apps add-on, from your own seller accounts.
- Add-on
Phone, Android TV, Apple TV, Fire TV and desktop apps
Built from the same code with your brand, and published from your own App Store, Google Play and Amazon accounts with us on your team. The stores require the content owner to publish; we prepare everything else.
How it works
1. Brand
Send us your logo, colours and domain. We set up your service and a preview address.
2. Catalogue
Upload films, series and live events in Studio, or let us import your first 200 titles. Subtitles and dubs come along.
3. Plans
Choose your plans and prices per country. Connect your card and mobile money accounts so payments land with you.
4. Launch
Point your domain at us and open the doors. We watch the first week with you.

Questions we hear
Who owns the content and the viewers?
You do. Your catalogue, your subscriber list and your payment accounts stay yours. If you leave, we export your data within 30 days.
Can we use our own domain?
Yes — a subdomain such as watch.yourbrand.com from launch. Until then you have a preview address from us.
Why are the phone and TV apps an add-on?
App stores require the content owner to publish the app from their own developer account. We build and prepare it; you publish it, with us as a member of your team.
How do viewers pay?
By card anywhere, by mobile money in Uganda, and through the app stores where you have the add-on. Money goes to your accounts by default.
Can we show KStream titles as well?
Some, by licence. Tell us which titles you would like to carry.
When can we start?
Tell us about your catalogue and audience. We reply within two working days and agree a plan and dates with you.
What about live events?
Included. Schedule an event, get a stream key, go live with a countdown and reminders to your viewers.
Where are the servers?
In AWS Europe (Ireland) today, with video delivered through a global CDN. A dedicated stack can be placed by agreement.
