Product Feature - A Seamless Experience with Device Flow

The TV continues to be the dominant device used for media consumption. In spite of the prevalence of mobile devices, laptops, tablets and any other convenient device all the data shows that the TV is here to stay, though the method of delivery is certainly changing.

Though the big screen may be the device to gather the family around after a long day of work it is not the device of convenience, which is never more so obvious than when negotiating the login system for a streaming service.

Ease of use and access is a key component of a successful streaming platform. Setting up barriers to entry from the get-go is a major deterrent to subscriptions. Meanwhile it is necessary to have access to your subscriber’s information for obvious reasons. Device Flow helps us to streamline that process for our customers, allowing you to create a frictionless environment for your customers but a secure and thriving platform. By creating an access token which links your account on your smartphone to the app on your TV.

MMAuth enables Device Flow for our TV platforms, helping to avoid the fiddly logins with a virtual keyboard, meaning wasting time trying to type in your email and password on a TV remote are now a thing of the past. Device Flow allows for multi-platform sign-in by using a simple code on another device to login to playback content. Perfect for big screen apps and hassle-free viewing.
