Live auction streaming with LL-HLS, real-time chat, and a dedicated CDN in Brazil — from BRL 479/month.
JMVStream Live Auction Streaming is a Brazilian live-streaming platform built for auctioneers, delivering 2–5 second latency over LL-HLS (vs 15–30 seconds on YouTube/Facebook). Own datacenter in São Paulo, real-time chat that plugs into your bidding system, WhatsApp support in Portuguese and English. Plans start at BRL 479/month for up to 200 concurrent bidders or BRL 979/month for 500, with custom tiers above that. Operating for over 22 years, with more than 9,000 active customers. Ideal for judicial, livestock, real-estate, vehicle, and art auctions.
A 15–30 second lag on a generic platform isn't a technical detail — it's lost revenue, legal exposure, and reputation damage for anyone running an auction.
A bidder watches via YouTube/Facebook with a 20s lag, places a bid "late," and loses to whoever is on the official bidding panel. Complaint guaranteed.
The seller sees their cattle hit the ring and only gets the video 25 seconds later — assumes the gavel dropped early. Lost client, lost referral.
In a judicial auction, a timing mismatch between the stream and the bidding system can be raised as grounds for nullifying the sale. Not worth saving USD 50/month.
Direct setup, no engineering lift. Your existing encoder keeps working — only the destination changes.
A camera in the auction room (auditorium, pen, office) sends to your local encoder — OBS, vMix, hardware, whatever you already use.
The JMV encoder receives the RTMP/SRT feed and transcodes it to multiple bitrates (up to 4 Mbps Full HD) on NVIDIA hardware.
Video flows over LL-HLS (Low-Latency HLS) through the dedicated CDN in Brazil. Latency drops to 2–5 seconds without sacrificing scale.
Bidders watch on your official site or app with integrated live chat and your branded player.
Latency claimed by generic platforms doesn't survive contact with a real auction. Here are the actual numbers.
Measured from the auction floor to the bidder's phone. Vs ~15s on YouTube Live and ~30s on Facebook Live in typical conditions.
Over 22 years operating live streaming in Brazil. Active base of more than 9,000 customers across every vertical.
In-country datacenter in São Paulo with redundancy. Contractual SLA available for Custom-tier customers (national auctioneers).
Each auction vertical has its own demands — mandatory recording, moderated chat, multistream for reach. We cover all of them.
Electronic auctions of seized assets. Full automatic recording, server timestamps, moderated chat. Legal requirements covered.
A multi-billion-dollar market — beef cattle, dairy, equine. Minute-by-minute bidding requires low latency to close cleanly. Supports live remote bidding from the pens.
Residential, commercial, rural property. Live HD video of the asset plus real-time chat to clear bidder questions instantly.
Cars, trucks, heavy machinery. Yard footage plus rotating angles of each lot. Multistream to Facebook/YouTube extends reach without losing the official chat.
Artwork, jewelry, wine, antiques. Branded player, premium audio for the auctioneer's call, integration with your proprietary bidding system.
Everything an auction needs is native — no expensive add-ons, no fragile integrations. One platform end-to-end.
Dedicated Low-Latency HLS. Not regular HLS dressed up — it's the protocol designed to cut delay without sacrificing quality or scale.
Player-integrated chat with a moderation panel (ban, pin, blocked words). Viewers interact during the call without flooding.
Embed the player on any site (iframe) or use the REST API. Plugs into your existing bidding system without rewriting it.
Simultaneous sub-streams to Facebook and YouTube to extend reach, while the official JMV player on your site stays the chat and bidding hub.
Every broadcast is recorded automatically with server timestamps and a separate archive per auction. Meets judicial requirements and serves as proof of the call.
Real-time analytics: concurrent bidders, peaks per minute, devices, regions. No reliance on Google Analytics or client-side pixels.
Same tech, same feature set. The only difference is concurrent-bidder capacity.

Competitor pricing and claims verified in May/2026 from each vendor's public materials. Verify before migrating — pricing and policies may have changed. Where Engel Hosting wins on raw latency (sub-second over WebRTC), JMVStream delivers a 2–5s window that's enough for traditional auctions, with transparent BRL pricing and human PT support.
Ten questions that come up before signing.
We consistently deliver 2–5 seconds glass-to-glass over LL-HLS — measured from the encoder to the player on a bidder's phone. On a normal 4G/5G network in rural areas, it lands at 3–4s. On good fixed broadband, 2–3s. We don't promise sub-second (<1s) latency — anyone who does is either testing on a LAN or running WebRTC, which is a different technology (video conferencing, not broadcast streaming).
Two options: (1) use the JMV player's native chat (simplest, integrated with the video, with visual moderation) or (2) embed our player via iframe on your site/bidding system and keep your existing chat. For deeper integration, our REST API exposes chat events that you can correlate with your bidding panel.
Start handles 200 concurrent, Full handles 500 — both tested in production. Custom scales to 1,000, 5,000, or unlimited under project. The dedicated Brazilian CDN avoids the typical bottleneck of large auctions (everyone joining at the same minute when the call opens).
Yes, included in every plan: full automatic recording, with server timestamps and a separate archive per auction. Meets judicial requirements and stays available for download/replay in the dashboard. For long-term archiving, you can integrate with our Video Hosting product — see the hosting page for the auction archive use case. See video hosting for the auction archive use case.
Contractual 99.9% SLA for Custom-tier customers; real-world history close to that for Start/Full. Our own datacenter in São Paulo has redundancy. If the broadcast drops (e.g., a local encoder disconnects), the session can resume without changing the auction URL — viewers reconnect automatically when the signal comes back.
Yes — multistream to Facebook and YouTube is included. The recommended setup is: JMV player on your official site (with moderated chat and bidding integration) + simulcast to YouTube/Facebook purely for reach and discovery. People who want to bid come back to your site, where the chat and the bidding system live.
Human WhatsApp support, 8 a.m.–10 p.m. BRT, 7 days a week — no phone trees, no abandoned tickets, no "thanks for reaching out" disappearing acts. Whoever responds has access to your dashboard and logs. For Custom-tier auctioneers, a dedicated account manager with a direct channel. Saturday morning is fully covered.
Yes — the player is responsive and runs on any phone via the browser (iOS Safari, Chrome Android). LL-HLS is adaptive: on bad 4G, it automatically drops to a lower bitrate to keep the video flowing instead of buffering forever. No app install required.
Pricing is 100% fixed BRL with no FX exposure. Monthly with no lock-in (cancel anytime, no penalty). Annual with a 28% discount. 7-day refund if you decide it isn't a fit.
LL-HLS is a broadcast streaming protocol — it delivers 2–5s of latency at scale (hundreds/thousands of concurrent viewers without proportional cost growth). WebRTC is a peer-to-peer communication protocol (Zoom, Google Meet) — it delivers <1s but scales worse and costs more per participant. For traditional auctions with minute-by-minute bidding, 2–5s is more than enough. For in-play sports betting (which isn't an auction), you'd want WebRTC.
If you're running online auctions and the 15–30 second YouTube/Facebook delay is costing you complaints, lost bids, and disputes, JMVStream covers the case. Fixed BRL billing, Portuguese-speaking support, instant activation.
