The Opportunity

Problem

Exorbitant mobile data prices in Botswana prevent creators from uploading high-quality videos and live streaming, directly stifling their channel growth.

Solution

Dashboard analyzes past streams (manual log or API), recommends bitrate/settings for providers. Client-side tool tests stream previews with compression. Integrates with YouTube Live for auto-optimized starts, projecting data costs pre-stream.
