Frequently asked questions
-
How do you monitor video quality?
Witbe monitors video quality on real consumer devices: Smart TVs, mobiles, set-top boxes, and web browsers. Each device plays the actual stream while Witbe measures Quality Of Experience (QoE) metrics such as startup time, buffering, audio-video sync, and visual quality (MOS). The result: an exact picture of what your viewers experience, not simulated data. Witbe can monitor any video service: Live TV, VoD, cloud DVR, Replay TV, self-care portals, EPGs, and apps like Netflix and Disney+.
-
How can I track streaming service performance?
Smartgate, Witbe’s observability platform, collects all KPIs from your tests and displays them in real time. You can monitor availability, latency, bitrate stability, and error rates, plus set thresholds for automatic alerts whenever performance drops.
-
What is QoE monitoring?
QoE (Quality of Experience) monitoring measures how well your video service performs from the viewer’s perspective. Witbe’s approach combines technical KPIs with perceptual analysis, showing not only that a stream works, but that it looks and feels right to the end user.
-
Can I confirm and debug issues remotely?
Yes. With the Remote Eye Controller (REC), you can instantly view the device feed and collaborate across teams.
-
Can I monitor OTT apps remotely?
Yes. Using Witbe’s Remote Eye Controller (REC), teams can access and monitor OTT apps like Netflix, Disney+, or Amazon Prime Video on real devices worldwide. The REC provides live video feeds, screenshots, and playback proof for instant troubleshooting.
-
Can I monitor multiple regions simultaneously?
Yes. Deploy Witbox in any market or use Witbe datacenters to monitor services worldwide.
-
How can I create monitoring tests quickly?
With AI-assisted test creation, you can use Witbe Agentic AI or ready-to-use templates to deploy scenarios faster than ever without coding expertise.
-
How are alerts and reports delivered?
Whenever an issue occurs, Smartgate sends instant alerts by email, Slack, or push notification. Each alert includes KPIs, logs, and a video recording of the problem for rapid verification and root-cause analysis.
