Vidiyo

Vidiyo is the straightforward way to run a 24/7 streaming TV channel. Upload your videos, drag them onto a weekly schedule, hit publish, and you have a real channel with a real broadcast day. The whole thing fits in a coffee break.

The problem it solves: running a TV channel used to require distribution deals, broadcast-grade infrastructure, and a content library big enough to satisfy platform gatekeepers. Vidiyo removes all of that. If you have videos and a concept, you have a channel.

For creators, the core loop is upload, schedule, publish. Drag videos in and transcoding and storage are handled. Build your week on a visual grid, lock in premieres for new episodes, and let the auto-scheduler fill the rest of the day. Ad insertion is built into the pipeline for when you’re ready to monetize, and analytics show what your audience actually watches, not vanity numbers.

It has grown past linear channels, too. There’s a vertical swipe feed for discovering clips, live streaming with real-time chat and reactions, and on-demand viewing for channels that opt in. Channels get dial numbers, so flipping through Vidiyo feels like flipping through cable, except anyone can own a number. On a TV, your phone becomes the remote.

Where it stands: Vidiyo is in private beta. The apps are built for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, Android, and the web, and they’re headed to the stores as the beta opens up. Creator signups are invite-based for now; there’s a waitlist at vidiyo.com.

The economics stay the way the original pitch promised: free to watch, no subscription, and free to run a channel. No deals to negotiate, no minimum subscriber count. Your audience is yours.
