Ranking algorithm

The algorithm is pretty intelligent. It keeps track of users watched videos and shows the unwatched first. Even after that to prevent repeat, it randomizes once the user has watched all unwatched. In both scenarios, clips from verified users are preferred to appear first.

Feature highlights (Extended license)

Duet or Side-by-side Recording

This feature allow users to record their video side-by-side to an already uploaded video on the app. Just like other advanced video features of our app, no FFmpeg needed on server so you can even use this on shared hosting environments.

Explicit Content Detection

If enabled, the server-side can automatically screen uploads for any pornographic contents using Google Cloud Video Intelligence, AWS Rekognition or Sightengine. In case a video clip if found to be containing explicit content, it marks the clip as disapproved and prevents it from appearing anywhere in the app.

Note: Once you have purchased Extended license, please share your purchase code to our email i.e., sales@starthub.ltd to receive extra pieces of code to enable features of Extended license.
