Services · Mobile app development · Video streaming apps
Codeeo takes on video streaming app development New York publishers rely on to put news, performance, fitness and teaching in front of paying or registered viewers. Midtown news and digital media teams, Brooklyn and Queens production houses, theater and music presenters, boutique fitness studios, houses of worship and universities across the five boroughs each need something slightly different. We build the apps, the media pipeline and the billing, and we design for New York data security and minors' privacy law alongside the federal video rules.
Our 80+ person team sits in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi and has completed 200+ projects across the UAE and the US. We have no office in New York. Clients in the city work with us remotely, and planning sessions, reviews and handovers are held by video call.

Platform features
Few cities produce video at the pace New York does. A newsroom may publish dozens of clips before lunch. A theater company wants a filmed production available for a limited run with seats sold like tickets. A Flatiron or Tribeca fitness studio has members who now live upstate or in New Jersey and still want the same instructor. An adjunct teaching a continuing education course needs lectures that work for students commuting from all five boroughs.
Speed, scheduling and access rules matter more here than in most markets. New York's SHIELD Act sets data security expectations for any business holding residents' private information, and the Child Data Protection Act now covers users under 18. The features below are arranged around those realities.
Editors trim, title, caption and publish clips from a live feed or upload in a few steps, with breaking alerts pushed to followers of a topic. Clips taken from programming that aired on television with captions inherit those captions automatically, which the FCC rules for internet video require.
Stories reach viewers while they are still news.
Filmed productions, concerts and talks sold like seats: timed access windows, limited capacity per performance, encore viewings, and access codes for subscribers or donors. Union and rights agreements for captured performances often set strict viewing windows, and the app enforces them by date and time. Remaining capacity and countdowns show on the listing page.
A stage show reaches people who could not be in the room.
Paid catalogs get encryption across the three major DRM systems, hardware security levels for high definition, device caps and visible or forensic watermarks for press and preview copies. Free newsroom clips and community content stay unencrypted to keep delivery light.
Protection only where the content and contracts call for it.
Subscribers download episodes and classes on home WiFi and watch underground or on a commuter train, with encrypted files that expire as your licenses dictate and storage controls that respect phones already full of photos. Watch progress syncs back once the phone reconnects.
Viewing continues where cellular coverage does not.
New Yorkers speak Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Bengali, Haitian Creole, Korean and many more languages at home. We support interface localization, subtitle and dubbed audio tracks, and right to left layouts where needed, so a community broadcaster or faith group can serve each language audience properly. Translators work from a shared glossary so program titles stay consistent.
Content reaches neighborhoods in the language they use.
Low latency streams for fitness classes, masterclasses and seminars, with instructor views of participant counts, leaderboard or question queues, and WebRTC rooms where a small group needs real conversation rather than one way video.
Online attendees feel part of the session.
Monthly plans, class packs, season passes, single rentals and ad supported free tiers, with store billing and a web checkout supporting Apple Pay and Google Pay. Server side ad insertion places sponsor spots without the stutter of client side ads. Gift passes suit donors and members buying for family.
Pricing that matches how each audience prefers to pay.
Administrative, technical and physical safeguards of the kind the SHIELD Act expects: role based access, encryption at rest and in transit, vendor reviews, security testing, and logging that supports a prompt notice to affected residents and the state if an incident occurs.
Subscriber data protected to the standard New York expects.
Caption on and off controls, adjustable caption fonts and colors, audio description, keyboard navigation on the web and screen reader support on phones and TV apps for Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Google TV and smart TVs.
Viewers with disabilities use the same app as everyone else.
Real time concurrent viewers during a live event, completion by title and section, subscriber growth and churn by acquisition channel, and ad fill rates, shown in a console that editors and executives can read without a data analyst.
Commissioning and scheduling based on what audiences finish.
Who this is for
New York's video producers range from global newsrooms to a two person studio in Long Island City. What they share is an audience that expects polish, moves around constantly and has endless alternatives. The organizations below are the ones that most often need a dedicated app rather than another channel on a social platform, and each tends to start from a different feature. Several projects combine two of these, such as a cultural institution that also runs paid classes, and one platform can carry both.
Publishers with a strong website and social presence want an app and TV channel where clips, live coverage and long form documentaries sit together behind a meter or subscription. We integrate with your existing CMS and ad server, carry captions from broadcast sources, and build a FAST channel from your archive for connected TV audiences. Election nights and major breaking stories are load tested in advance, because those are the moments a news app is judged.
Speed of publishing is tested as hard as playback.
Presenters and museums want filmed performances, lectures and behind the scenes content for members and remote audiences. We build ticketed access, member tiers tied to your existing ticketing or CRM records, donation prompts and educational packages for schools, with performance rights windows enforced in the app. Audio described and captioned versions can be offered for every filmed performance.
Rights and union terms are reviewed before any title goes live.
Boutique studios in Manhattan and Brooklyn want members to keep training when they travel or move. We build live and on demand classes, instructor profiles, program calendars, class packs that work across studio and stream, and optional wearable links collected only with clear consent. Instructor pay reports can draw on the same viewing data used for programming decisions.
Health related data is kept to what the feature needs.
Colleges, continuing education programs, synagogues, churches and mosques want lectures, services and study series available to members who cannot attend. We add gated access by enrollment or membership, single sign on, giving or tuition, and age appropriate settings, because New York's Child Data Protection Act applies when users under 18 are involved. Services held on days when some communities avoid live technology can be scheduled to publish automatically afterwards.
Minors' data rules are mapped before profiles are designed.
How we work together
Studios, presenters and smaller publishers usually commission a fixed scope first release, then keep a monthly retainer for new TV platforms, seasonal programming and store policy updates. Newsrooms and media groups with constant output often prefer a dedicated team that joins their sprint planning and owns the streaming roadmap with them. Every model runs remotely, with shared boards, recorded reviews and written decisions so editorial, legal and finance stakeholders all see the same record. Retainers commonly cover the city calendar points that drive viewing, such as fall season openings, January fitness sign ups and spring commencement streams.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
Tooling is chosen to fit your newsroom or studio systems and the people who will maintain it: established web and native players, cloud encoding or an open source packager, a commercial multi-DRM service, mainstream CDNs and ad servers, and APIs into your CMS, ticketing or CRM. Where your newsroom already runs a video platform or MAM, we connect to it rather than replacing it, and only move content when there is a clear reason.

03Marketing and tracking
It is set by platforms, integrations and any fixed premiere date.
A phone and web release with a focused catalog is the quickest route. Adding several TV platforms, ticketed performances, ad insertion and CMS or ticketing integrations extends the plan, and store reviews add their own time. If you are working toward a season opening, a festival or an election night, we plan backwards from that date and agree the scope to fit. Caption files, artwork and rights paperwork arriving from your side also affect the schedule, so they appear in the plan as named inputs.
