Vidiyo

Vidiyo lets you run a 24/7 streaming TV channel. Upload your videos, put them on a weekly schedule, hit publish. You have a channel with a real broadcast day.

Running a channel used to mean distribution deals, broadcast infrastructure, and enough content to satisfy whoever owns the store. If you have videos and a concept, you shouldn’t need any of that.

The loop is upload, schedule, publish. Transcoding and storage are handled. You build the week on a grid, lock premieres when you want them, and let the rest of the day fill. Ads can sit in the pipeline when you’re ready. Analytics track what people actually watch.

It isn’t only linear anymore. There’s a swipe feed for clips, live streaming with chat, on-demand for channels that want it. Channels get dial numbers, so flipping through Vidiyo feels a little like cable, except anyone can own a number. On a TV, your phone is the remote.

Vidiyo is in private beta. Apps for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, Android, and the web are built and heading to the stores as the beta opens. Creator signup is invite-only for now. Waitlist is on the site.

Free to watch. No subscription. Free to run a channel. No deals, no minimum audience. Your viewers are yours.
