Challenge
Finding cost-effective video monetization World Players of Handball’s main objective is to promote the sport to a wider audience whilst allowing them to have another source of revenue. However, it was quite a struggle for WPH to find a streaming provider that offers the ability to monetize the content at an affordable price. Filming the games could be expensive and the last thing needed is for them to spend a lot on a streaming platform.
David Vincent, Executive Director says “Dacast had the features we were seeking already built in their player and service.”
Solution

This allowed WPH to broadcast live and on-demand videos on their site. Dacast provided an exceptional platform at a low price. It offered WPH the ability to have their videos monetized and free, which enabled them to toggle between providing a service and providing another profit source for the business as a whole.
