Most streaming app development companies build exclusively for broadcasters and content distributors, full multi-device infrastructure spanning smart TVs, set-top boxes, and web, with DRM and licensing built in from day one. That’s real, deep infrastructure work, and it’s not what most businesses actually need. Software Co builds mobile-first streaming, live and on-demand video or audio inside an iOS or Android app, for businesses in Sydney, Melbourne, and across Australia that need streaming as a feature of their product, not as their entire business model.
That covers more ground than it sounds like. A fan app that livestreams a concert, a sports platform showing live match coverage, an event app streaming sessions to remote attendees, a fitness brand delivering on-demand workout video, all of it is streaming, and all of it fits inside an app we already know how to build well, rather than requiring the enterprise media infrastructure a broadcaster needs.
Why Australian Brands Partner With Software Co for Mobile Streaming Features
A dedicated OTT vendor scopes every project around broadcaster-scale needs, because that’s their whole business. We scope streaming as one capability inside a broader app, built to work reliably for your actual audience size and use case, without paying for smart TV certification and DRM licensing infrastructure a growing business doesn’t need yet.

Discovery & Scope Definition
We define exactly what streaming needs to do for your specific use case, live, on-demand, or both, and at what scale, before recommending a technical approach.
Streaming Architecture
We choose the right streaming protocol and infrastructure for your actual audience size and content type, not a default built for broadcaster-scale from day one.
Design
We design the streaming experience as part of your broader app, not a bolted-on video player that feels disconnected from everything else.
Development
Development covers playback, monetisation, and engagement features, built and tested for real Australian network conditions.
Testing & Launch
We test under realistic load, a livestreamed event's busiest moment is entirely predictable and needs to hold up, before launch.
Post-Launch Support
We stay involved after launch for updates and scaling support as your streaming audience grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build full OTT platforms with smart TV apps and DRM licensing?
No, that's a specialised infrastructure category owned by companies with deep, dedicated experience in DRM, CDN architecture, and multi-device certification. We build mobile-first streaming, live and on-demand video or audio inside an iOS or Android app, the right fit for most businesses that need streaming as a feature, not their entire infrastructure.
Can you add live streaming to an app you're already building for us?
What monetisation options are available for streaming content?
Does the app work well on a slow or unreliable connection?
Do you build audio streaming, or just video?
