As ClawCrazy scaled, delivering stable, ultra-low latency video across the web, iOS, and Android became critical to maintaining a consistent player experience. The platform previously relied on providers like Red5 Pro and Dolby Millicast, but faced recurring issues that impacted gameplay quality, session reliability, and retention.
Unlike traditional streaming, ClawCrazy’s experience depends entirely on real-time responsiveness. Even minor disruptions - latency spikes, frame drops, or delayed camera switching - can break gameplay. With zero tolerance for delay, ClawCrazy needed a fully managed, globally scalable solution without the burden of maintaining complex streaming infrastructure.

Inconsistent cross-platform performance across web, iOS, and Android
ClawCrazy evaluated multiple real-time streaming providers, including Red5 Pro, Dolby Millicast, and AWS, but encountered downtime, high latency, limited mobile SDK reliability, and complex infrastructure.
Agora stood out with lower latency, near-instant camera switching, seamless cross-platform integration, and a fully managed architecture—backed by responsive, high-quality technical support that played a key role in the final decision.

To deliver a consistent gameplay experience at scale, ClawCrazy selected Agora Interactive Live Streaming as its core infrastructure. Following the migration from Dolby Millicast, the team deployed a new streaming pipeline across all machines within weeks, achieving immediate improvements in latency, stability, and overall system reliability.
By integrating Agora’s SDKs across web, iOS, Android, and Flutter, ClawCrazy unified its streaming architecture and removed cross-platform inconsistencies. The platform now enables faster stream startup, seamless camera switching, and consistent video performance across devices. With a fully managed global network, the team reduced infrastructure overhead and focused on expanding gameplay and accelerating product innovation.

“Migrating to Agora instantly improved our live stream quality and consistency across all platforms. Camera switching is now instant, streams load faster, and the experience is much more responsive for players. The support from the Agora team has been excellent, and we haven’t had any downtime since launching.”

After migrating to Agora, ClawCrazy significantly improved the performance and reliability of its real-time streaming platform. The platform now supports 6,000+ daily players with stable real-time streaming. Camera-switch latency was reduced from 3–7 seconds to near real-time, and 100% uptime has been maintained since the transition.
As performance stabilized, user engagement and platform efficiency improved in parallel. Players completed more game attempts, returned more frequently, and demonstrated higher retention, contributing to sustained growth across key metrics.
