About everywhere.id

Supporting independent content creators in Indonesia

everywhere.id (formerly known as GoPlay) is an Indonesian video streaming service launched in 2019. Since its inception, everywhere.id has been gaining market share by appealing to the local Indonesia community and supporting independent video content producers.

In 2023, Play Everywhere was launched with the aim of bringing the excitement of live entertainment performances directly to various venues such as hotels, coffee shops, restaurants, and events. This innovative product aims to create a captivating ambiance and provide an immersive experience for customers. Play Everywhere overcomes physical limitations by offering a platform that connects venues and performers with virtual audiences in addition to in-person attendees.

The Problem

Maintaining high quality with live streaming

When looking to add live streaming to the platform, it was imperative to the everywhere.id team that they set the standard in Indonesia with the highest-quality live experience. Common live streaming issues such as buffering, low video quality, and connection drops would result in a loss of usage, user retention, and overall confidence in the everywhere.id platform.

For everywhere.id, the live streaming also needed to have low enough latency to allow for audience interaction in the form of reactions, live chat, virtual gifts, and more. Another essential component was ensuring that the same high-quality experience would be available even in more remote locations with poor local network quality.

Network issues before Agora:

Need to maintain high quality standard

Coverage for areas with poor local network

Scalability for low-latency interactivity

The Solution

Interactive live streaming at scale

After evaluating many solutions to add live streaming technology to the platform, the everywhere.id team settled on Agora’s Interactive Live Streaming. Agora’s solution enables much lower latency than competing solutions, which allows for real-time audience engagement.

These features can be instantly integrated to increase user engagement and improve the overall experience.
