Hi, the most important feature depends on your needs based on the product and your platform.
For example, if most of your audience is on mobile, you'll need to think about:
support user generated video uploads:
For the user streaming side (or for a view-heavy product where content is mainly consumed by the users and uploaded by creators):
However, in the middle of content uploading and distribution, you will need a good content processing pipeline that can transcode between various formats, generate thumbnails etc. PS: That's where our product fits in https://www.indiehackers.com/product/mediamachine
We also touched upon the broad requirements for creating a streaming platform in our blog :) https://mediamachine.io/blog/video-transcoding-in-2021#how-does-video-transcoding-fit-into-developing-a-user-friendly-content-pipeline
Good luck! And please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to bounce off any ideas, we'd love to chat with other people in the video space.
