Sending data to Video Cloud

For details on how to send data to Video Cloud Analytics from your apps see the following:

• Brightcove Player SDK for iOS
• Brightcove Player SDK for Android

If you use the Brightcove player and catalog included in the SDK to retrieve and play videos, analytics data will be automatically collected and will appear in the Video Cloud Analytics module.
