Frequently Asked Questions

Version 1.1 — October 13, 2021

What is MeetMo.io?

MeetMo.io is a cloud-native platform that seamlessly connects devices, people, and ideas. 

MeetMo.io allows you to extend your video village beyond your near set – to anyone, anywhere in the world at the highest quality and lowest latency.

We think it’s the future of video production.

 

How far can MeetMo.io extend video village?

With MeetMo.io, you can stream through any camera to anyone on near set – but also to people and teams who are thousands of miles away. 

Whether you are a team of 2 or 100 – you can collaborate simultaneously and in real-time. This goes beyond any normal video conferencing app or wireless technology.

 

How does MeetMo.io achieve the lowest latency?

The MeetMo.io algorithm automatically verifies your location and connects you to the closest MeetMo.io data center. With multiple data centers available, it only takes an instant instance to find the connection with the lowest latency – wherever you are in the world. 

Average latency is from 20 ms or 1 a frame up to 250 ms or 6 frames.

 

How is MeetMo.io different from other video conferencing apps?

Other video conferencing platforms are made for sharing business plans and spreadsheets.

MeetMo.io was designed and built specifically for the creative process. We know that creators demand the highest resolution, want real-time collaboration, and value simplicity and ease of use.  MeetMo.io delivers all this alongside fast, efficient and tetherless connectivity.

MeetMo.io’s extensive feature set includes standard tools such as document collaboration and video conferencing – but also advanced features such as live video annotations. It allows you to explore, test and execute ideas in real time. 

Is MeetMo.io difficult to set up and use?

The MeetMo.io App allows you to generate a single web link that all your collaborators can use to join a session. No software, no complex hardware – just one link with all the tools you and your partners need.  

It’s easy to mute and unmute participants, as well as use breakout rooms to facilitate collaboration in smaller groups. 

 

Is MeetMo.io safe and secure?

MeetMo.io is private by design. We are very mindful of the security and privacy concerns of our users. 

MeetMo.io offers full end-to-end encryption (e2ee) – industry-grade security and privacy that many video conferencing platforms lack, but is demanded by the media and entertainment industry. 

With MeetMo.io – collaboration stays between you and your team only.

 

Does MeetMo.io work with any input?

Yes! MeetMo.io’s cloud-native platform can LIVE stream from a single camera or multi-camera set-up – including motion picture cameras and wireless video cameras. 

MeetMo.io works with all industry-standard VTR’s, Post Production and VFX, and virtual production toolsets such as Unreal Engine and Unity.

 

How many simultaneous viewers can MeetMo support?

Currently, MeetMo.io is limited to supporting up to 100 simultaneous viewers! 

MeetMo.io’s cloud-native platform automatically scales depending on the number of viewers and the collaborator’s subscription plan. Please refer to MeetMo’s pricing plan for more information about viewing numbers and camera support. 

 

What are the minimum Hardware & Software requirements?

Since MeetMo.io is a LIVE streaming platform with the highest quality feeds, it requires at least 10Mbps download and upload speeds. 

MeetMo.io works both on Mac or PC. We recommend using MeetMo.io with Chrome and Firefox for optimized, high-resolution feeds. MeetMo.io is also compatible with Safari. 

 

How is MeetMo.io different from YouTube?

Most LIVE streaming platforms utilize RTMP – which means that the best latency you can expect to achieve is typically 10 to 30 seconds. YouTube is actually more complex to set up than others – requiring the use of String Keys and activation codes. 

In contrast, MeetMo.io is built to deliver simple, secure and wireless streaming with the lowest latency.

 

How is MeetMo.io different from Frame.io?

Frame.io is a great solution for dailies and review of shot footage. However, it’s only accessible and viewable after the camera has been cut. At this point Teradek starts to encode the Mp4 video files and upload them to the cloud – making real-time view and remote collaboration impossible.

In contrast, MeetMo.io is designed to facilitate real-time collaboration using live video feeds. 

 

How is MeetMo.io different from Teradek?

Teradek and other wireless video companies offer great solutions for near-set video village. However, most wireless solutions only work at distances of around 100 feet to 3000 feet. Transmissions can also be affected by buildings and densely saturated wireless signals. 

MeetMo.io’s integrated solutions, in partnership with Sony, have enabled us to develop a unique all-in-one encoder, streaming, and cellular + wifi bonding solution.

 

Why bonded WiFi + Cellular?

MeetMo’s algorithm bonds both Cellular + WiFi simultaneously to increase the reliability and provide extra redundancy for LIVE streaming.

 

What are the advantages of the MeetMo.io + Sony Xperia Pro integration? 

MeetMo.io and Sony have partnered to create a fully integrated and wireless LIVE collaboration system!

The Sony Xperia Pro’s ‘first ever’ direct HDMI input alongside MeetMo.io’s App enables capture, streaming, and sharing – from anywhere in the world, to any team on the planet.

 

How does 5G help with remote collaboration?

5G mobile technology can – and will – usher in higher resolution and higher frame rate feeds for both traditional 2D and new immersive experiences such as VR and AR. It helps deliver faster, more uniform data rates, at a lower latency and lower cost-per-bit. 

Thanks to 5G, users can achieve up to 3GB speeds for downloads and between 60MBS and 150MBS for uploads. 

MeetMo.io’s founding team recently showcased the world’s first-ever LIVE stream of an NFL game for Verizon in 8K – all on the 5G cellular network.
