Content steering is a cutting-edge mechanism for deterministically switching video streaming sessions between Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). It is achieved via a steering server that decides for each individual video player which CDN the streaming content should be fetched from.

Play the videos and use the buttons to switch CDNs midstream to see content steering in action!
