‘Frustration-free viewing no matter what device’ The founder and interim chief executive of RealNetworks returned to the company a year and half ago to reinvent the business. New SMS text capabilities let iOS and Android users easily share videos via SMS, which are automatically reformatted in the cloud to watch on all devices.“Hit the button and it just works – we do all the transcoding, transmuxing, balancing of bitrate and bandwidth for you in the background, so whatever device you're viewing the content on the video just magically works,” Rob Glaser told the Guardian. The friend also receives a free gigabyte of space. Refer-a-Friend lets people earn one free gigabyte of space for each friend who creates a RealPlayer Cloud account. RealPlayer Cloud simply works across all devices, including TVs connected with Chromecast.Īlong with the announcement that the service is now global, RealPlayer Cloud now has a couple of additional features. RealNetworks says consumers no longer need to worry about converting videos, or carrying HDMI and USB cables to connect devices to each other to watch videos on. RealPlayer Cloud now works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows 8 Modern UI, Windows, Kindle Fire, Roku, and Chromecast. 'Clearly there is a real need and demand for RealPlayer Cloud, which is essentially Dropbox for videos.' In just five short months, we've experienced extensive user growth and now have more than 500,000 users in the US and Canada,' said Rob Glaser, interim CEO of RealNetworks. 'We're excited to bring RealPlayer Cloud to consumers worldwide. With today's announcement, people will be able to share videos internationally.
