Ooredoo Group, a leading international communications company operating across the Middle East, North Africa, and Southeast Asia, has launched its first-ever streaming platform, ‘Go Play Market’, in partnership with MediaKind, a global leader in OTT streaming solutions, and supported by Microsoft, a global leader in cloud computing solutions.
Leveraging MediaKind’s advanced technology platform, powered by Microsoft Azure, the Group’s new venture into the world of Over-The-Top (OTT) streaming offers a wide range of entertainment options, including live TV channels, video-on-demand, and much more, from various digital players and content partners through a single platform.
‘Go Play Market’ has been officially launched in six of Ooredoo Group’s markets, including Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, Tunisia, Algeria, and the Maldives, catering not only to Ooredoo customers but also expanding its reach to non-Ooredoo subscribers in these markets.
