“Over the Top”: Building Streaming Apps for Mobile, Web, and Smart TVs

What’s involved with running quality multi-device apps? Hear from Entertainment & media app builders on the challenges when building across Mobile, Web, and TV with React + React Native. We’ll cover common questions such as handling variable screen resolutions, supporting different modes of inputs, scaling issues during big events, and how performance optimization is key for delivering on both high end mobile devices to compact streaming media players. Whether you’re expanding an existing mobile app to the big screen or building a TV-first experience for your existing react site, this session will provide you with tips and best practices from peers that have been through it before.
