Wowza Video Premium QoE Release

We’re excited to announce the doc release for a recent Wowza Video release for QoE analytics:

Summary

We’re excited to introduce the Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics in Wowza Video for both our UI and API! These new insights are designed to help you analyze the playback performance of your video streams for an optimal viewing experience. The QoE metrics include:

  • Video start time – Measures the time it takes for a video to start playing after a user initiates playback.
  • Rebuffer count – Tracks the number of times a video pauses due to buffering.
  • Rebuffer time – Indicates the duration of playback interruptions caused by buffering.

For more UI information, see Analytics page in Wowza Video and Analytics in Wowza Video.

Note: The Quality of Experience metrics data is available starting from November 7, 2024. You can retrieve metrics data for streaming events occurring on or after this date.

Note: Quality of Experience metrics is a premium feature available exclusively to Wowza Video subscribers with an annual subscription. To access this feature for enhanced streaming insights, contact our sales team.
