Conviva has launched Streaming Experience Insights, a platform designed to unify disparate video, app, and ad analytics. This integration aims to help streaming services identify technical failures that lead to subscriber churn.
Why it matters
Media consolidation has made managing complex streaming stacks increasingly difficult, creating data blind spots. Addressing these technical issues is critical, as 36% of U.S. streaming viewers report canceling subscriptions due to poor user experiences.
Conviva managed 56 million peak concurrent plays during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Analysis of that event revealed 528,000 unfilled ad breaks among 18 million total ad attempts, with 59,000 categorized as fixable.
