Commenting on the course, Freeman related, “I’ve been teaching clients how to install and use Wowza Streaming Engine for 11 years, mostly in-person or virtually via Zoom or similar services. The pandemic has increased the need for organizations to implement Wowza for live and VOD streaming while complicating in-person training. This class, which is based on the training modules that I’ve used for years, is the perfect solution.”

Discussing how the course came about, Ozer recounted, “I’ve been looking to expand our course offerings and thought a Wowza course would be highly useful and marketable. I Googled courses on Wowza Streaming Engine and Derrick’s website popped up first. I’ve known him for years, so I got in touch, floated the idea, and he agreed to create and allow me to distribute his course. I look forward to a long and mutually profitable partnership with Derrick for this and other courses.”
