Get Started

Use what you already do.

Youtube, Vimeo & a number of other live stream platforms are blocked in China and platforms that do work are often

troublesome or costly to set-up.

With Chinafy, you can easily set-up the stream using your favorite tools, then push to Chinafy's RTMP feed where we will then help to deliver your content fast to visitors in China.

Keep in mind that Vimeo is blocked in China.

Chinafy does not explicitly make the Vimeo platform work in China just as it does not enable blocked technologies. Instead, our platform detects your Vimeo Live Stream and processes it to deliver a non-branded stream via the HLS file format directly from your website. We simply make it a hands-off process for you.

If your industry and the nature of your website requires regulatory approvals and hosting onshore, please reach out to us and we'll work with our China-based partners to help you with some next steps.

It's never "just" a video stream.

You and I know that your visitor's experience goes beyond just watching a video. That's why Chinafy technologically optimises everything across your site for an end-to-end, high-performance user experience in China.

Host an event, without the nerves.

Launch your livestream knowing that Chinafy's expert support team has got your back. Priority support included, with add-ons like round-the-clock, dedicated technical managers, and accelerated set-up optional upon request.

No VPNs needed

Unless authorised by the MIIT under strict usage guidelines, most VPN services are illegal and ambiguous at best.

Add on other performance issues like inherent latency, reliability or lack thereof, and the risk of being disconnected make VPNs an impractical solution for professional events. Not to mention, your attendees may not have an approved VPN agent.

Set-up your event for faster, more consistent, end-to-end delivery.

We stream a lot of events. We stream even more now with COVID still around and it was so nice having a simple and relatable streaming method that we are accustom to. Chinafy made integrating our studio workflow seamless.
