Huawei, which is negatively affected by the tension between the USA and China, cannot offer Google apps preloaded on their devices. The brand, which has been working for a long time to eliminate this disadvantage, has signed an important agreement with the video-sharing service Dailymotion.
Huawei will integrate Dailymotion in its new devices
Huawei Video platform has been bringing various entertainment contents, especially movies and series, to the users. According to Reuters, a strategic cooperation has been established with Dailymotion to develop this platform. Thanks to this partnership, Huawei Video will integrate Dailymotion’s video processing and playback infrastructure. In addition, thanks to the common use of Dailymotion API, the content on the video-sharing platform can also be available in the platform created by the brand.
The collaboration between Huawei and Dailymotion is not a big surprise. The Chinese brand offers an ecosystem called Huawei Mobile Services (HMS Core) as an alternative to Google on devices that it has recently announced. In this context, the restructured video application will use Dailymotion’s technical infrastructure to strengthen its hand against YouTube in the new period. In addition, functions such as monetization to attract more creators to the platform should be available in stages.
