Case Study: Canada Games scales livestreaming by 200% with Vimeo

Canada Games scales live streaming by 200% with Vimeo

Canada Games, Canada’s largest multi-sport competition for amateur athletes, needed a way to livestream 40 sports across a vast country, often from venues with little or no streaming infrastructure. With families and fans spread across remote and urban areas with widely varying internet speeds, the organization turned to Vimeo’s streaming platform to deliver reliable, accessible coverage for every viewer.

Vimeo implemented an adaptive, plug-and-play livestreaming solution that automatically adjusts video quality to each user’s connection and works easily as the Games move from community to community. The results included a 200% increase in hours of coverage, 1.1 million livestream views, 30.7 million minutes watched, and more than 20 concurrent live streams, while also helping Canada Games create new sponsor-branded revenue opportunities.
