Readers' Choice Awards Winners' Circle: Wowza

Streaming Media readers voted Wowza Streaming Engine the winner of the 2026 Readers’ Choice Award for Real-Time Streaming Solution.

The recognition affirms that reliable, extensible, and flexible media infrastructure can solve streaming’s toughest challenges. Thank you to everyone who voted. We appreciate your trust and recognition.

For nearly two decades, Wowza Streaming Engine has powered live video for broadcasters, sports networks, and production teams. It ingests feeds via WebRTC, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP, then delivers streams through WebRTC, HLS, LL-HLS, and MPEG DASH. It runs wherever developers and production teams need it, in the cloud or behind the firewall. Broadcast, media, and operations teams value that control and reliability. 

Our Video Intelligence Framework builds on this foundation, putting AI analysis tools directly into developers’ hands to automate the most difficult video challenges. A monitoring team watching forty camera feeds will miss events because human attention has hard limits. This challenge affects broadcasting, traffic operations, industrial sites, public safety, and campus security, and grows with every added camera.

The same principles that have made Wowza Streaming Engine successful extend to the new Video Intelligence Framework. Across both solutions, users retain control, human judgment remains central, security is factored into every release, and video pipelines can scale to meet their needs.
