Streamroot

Streamroot was a Paris-founded video-delivery company (backed by Partech and Techstars) that built a peer-to-peer / multi-CDN "Mesh Delivery" and DNA SDK to offload live and on-demand video traffic onto a hybrid CDN+WebRTC peer mesh, reducing bandwidth cost and improving scale for broadcasters and OTT platforms. The developer surface was a client-side (browser and native player) delivery SDK distributed as video-player plugins (video.js, Clappr, hls.js, AVPlayer) rather than a server-side REST API. Streamroot was acquired by CenturyLink — now Lumen Technologies — in 2019 and folded into Lumen's CDN / Mesh Delivery product line. The standalone streamroot.io website and developer docs are offline; the surviving public assets are the (now Lumen-operated) GitHub organization and a set of official but deprecated npm player-plugin packages.

Streamroot is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Infrastructure Saas, Video, Streaming, and CDN.
