We make TV searcheable and share-able. SnapStream is to TV what Google is to the internet. SnapStream allows you to search for a specific keyword and find that moment, that needle in the haystack, inside of thousands of hours of TV. We are how The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight (+pretty much all other talk shows) record, research and find TV clips. SnapStream is also used by the US Senate, Library of Congress, top Journalism Schools, NFL/NHL sports teams and numerous other public and private organizations to record and repurpose TV. Our latest push is into Social TV. Now you can follow along a show with a stream of Tweets about that show side by side. This allows you to identify those moments in a show that blew up on Twitter. You can also interact directly with tweets with engaging content from the show, on the fly, in real time.
