Bitmovin’s Player gives us the flexibility and quality we need to continue to make ClassPass Live the best way to get fit.”
The Bitmovin Player supports device compatibility across web-based browsers, iOS, Android and desktop applications, so users can have the same immersive viewing experience regardless of what device they are using at any given time.
“We are constantly pushing the envelope for the best experiences in online video , and our work with ClassPass Live shows fitness classes are no different,” said Stefan Lederer, CEO at Bitmovin. “We are glad to see our player used to deliver a sophisticated, highly personal video experience online and on mobile, so that anyone can work out, wherever they are.”
