Create a video library** A video library holds your videos together with plenty of options to manage and configure. When you create one, you first choose the name of your video library and then choose which storage regions your videos are [replicated](/docs/stream/replication) globally. The next step is configuring which paid services you would like to enable such as [Premium Encoding](/docs/stream/premium-encoding), [AI Transcription](/docs/stream/transcribing) and [Smart Generate](/docs/stream/smart-generate) features. **2. Upload your videos** Upload from the dashboard, the API, a remote URL, or directly from your users' browsers and mobile apps with resumable uploads. **3. Encode and store them** Each video is transcoded into multiple resolutions for [adaptive bitrate streaming](/docs/stream/adaptive-bitrate). \ With [Premium Encoding](/docs/stream/premium-encoding), videos are typically playable within seconds of upload. **4. Deliver and play anywhere** Videos are served from bunny.net's CDN and Storage. They playback with our very own customizable [Bunny Player](/docs/stream/player),  [Native Mobile App Players](/docs/stream/mobile-sdk)or [Third Party Player Integrations](/docs/stream/players). ## Key features > **[Flexible uploads](/docs/stream/dashboard)** > > Upload to the dashboard, the HTTP API, fetch from a URL, or use resumable TUS. > **[Free encoding](/docs/stream/encoding)** > > Every upload is transcoded into the resolutions and bitrates you choose, with optional MP4 fallback and watermarking. > **[Adaptive streaming](/docs/stream/adaptive-bitrate)** > > HLS renditions switch quality to match each viewer's connection for uninterrupted playback. > **[Bunny Player](/docs/stream/player)** > > A customizable embeddable player with captions, chapters, Chromecast, AirPlay, adjustable playback speed, picture-in-picture and more. > **[Mobile SDKs](/docs/stream/mobile-sdk)** > > Native playback, resumable uploads, and camera capture for Android, iOS, React Native, and Expo. > **[Multi-audio](/docs/stream/multi-audio)** > > Add alternate language, commentary, or descriptive audio tracks viewers can switch between. > **[Access controls](/docs/stream/security)** > > Restrict playback with allowed domains, direct URL blocking, and signed, expiring tokens. > **[MediaCage Basic DRM](/docs/stream/mediacage-basic)** > > Free, one-click encryption for every playback session that stops casual downloads. > **[Statistics](/docs/stream/statistics)** > > Track views, watch time, viewers by country, engagement scores, and heatmaps. > **[Webhooks](/docs/stream/webhooks)** > > Get signed notifications as videos upload, encode, and finish processing. > **[Global delivery](/docs/stream/delivery-tiers)** > > Serve from bunny.net's CDN on the Standard tier for the lowest latency or the Volume tier for lower cost. > **[Advertising](/docs/stream/vast)** > > Monetize your videos by serving VAST ads in the player. ## Premium add-ons Turn on paid add-ons for a library when you need faster processing, wider reach, or stronger protection. Each is billed on top of storage and delivery. See [Pricing](/docs/stream/pricing) for rates. > **[Premium Encoding](/docs/stream/premium-encoding)** > > Make most videos playable in 10–15 seconds with Just-in-Time encoding, skip the queue with prioritized encoding, and output VP9, HEVC, and AV1 with HDR. > **[AI transcribing](/docs/stream/transcribing)** > > Generate captions automatically, translate them into 56 languages, and create titles, descriptions, and chapters with Smart Generate. > **[MediaCage Enterprise DRM](/docs/stream/mediacage-enterprise)** > > Widevine and FairPlay protection with screen capture prevention, native app support, and custom player integration, built for premium and pay-per-view content. > **[Geo-replication](/docs/stream/replication)** > > Replicate videos to additional storage regions for faster uncached delivery and automatic failover during regional outages. ## Build with Stream Start with [Authentication](/docs/stream/authentication) to find your library's API key, then pick a guide for your platform: | Platform | Guides | | - | - | | Browser Web player | [React](/docs/stream/player/react), [Next.js](/docs/stream/player/nextjs), [Vue and Nuxt](/docs/stream/player/vue), [Svelte and SvelteKit](/docs/stream/player/svelte), [Astro](/docs/stream/player/astro), [JavaScript](/docs/stream/player/javascript) | | Mobile SDKs | [Android](/docs/stream/android-sdk), [iOS](/docs/stream/ios-sdk), [React Native](/docs/stream/react-native-sdk), [Expo](/docs/stream/expo-video) | | Server-side uploads | [Laravel](/docs/stream/upload/laravel), [Rails](/docs/stream/upload/rails), [Django](/docs/stream/upload/django) | | Third-party player support | [Bitmovin](/docs/stream/players/bitmovin), [Shaka Player](/docs/stream/players/shaka), [Widevine HTML5](/docs/stream/players/widevine), [FairPlay HTML5](/docs/stream/players/fairplay) | | Integrations | [WordPress](/docs/integrations/wordpress/stream), [Terraform](/docs/integrations/terraform/importing-stream-library) | This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
