Now, using Kaltura Content-as-a-Service, KCP is seamlessly and securely distributing its content to a large OTT partner, reaching many millions of additional viewers worldwide. KCP is already seeing a boost of over 10 X in monthly streams and plans to add more distribution partners later this year.
