Viu (streaming service)

[3] Viu is now available in 27 markets across Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Middle East including Australia, Bahrain, Egypt, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Jordan, Kuwait, New Zealand, Malaysia, Myanmar, Oman, Philippines, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand, and United Arab Emirates.

[9] In February 2017, Viu was available in major Middle East countries including Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

This move underscored Canal+'s confidence in Viu, and highlighted the group's strategic focus on Asia as a pivotal growth area.

By deepening its investment in Viu, which operates as a leading streaming service in Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa, Canal+ aims to accelerate its expansion in these regions.

Unlike major streaming platforms, which prevent third-party linear channels from securing broadcast rights of most co-produced shows, most Viu Original-labeled titles may be screened by local television channels in their respective countries,[19] provided that the networks' local rights for such titles are for linear television broadcast only in their respective country jurisdiction.

Viu is accessible via its website, and through its dedicated application on Android, iOS and Huawei OS services, as well as through select smart TV devices.

[21] As mentioned above, Viu offers a dual-revenue system, allowing users to access its content library without restrictions.
