Live auction software & online bidding platform
Dolby Millicast seamlessly connects bidders and auctioneers through our real-time streaming auction software, accessible across all devices.
Global online auctions with sub-second latency
Dolby Millicast is modernizing the auction and online marketplace with its interactive WebRTC solution. Whether you’re selling cars in the UK or heavy farm equipment across the American Midwest, you can easily create a dynamic and immersive bidding experience.
Our real-time streaming specialists handle the technical aspects, allowing you to set up a live auction effortlessly with just a few clicks.
Ensure the best streaming quality
Provide your audience with the highest level of visual quality by offering video streaming up to 4K. The high-resolution content, particularly when viewed on bigger screens, can greatly improve the bidding process due to its superior image clarity.
This is particularly important for high-value or intricate items where detailing is key.
Provide bidders the option to select their preferred camera angle of the item up for bid.
Utilize our interactive Multiview feature to select from multiple 4K views.

Synchronized video in real-time
Live auctions require immediate bid updates on screen to ensure a fair experience for viewers. The Dolby Millicast CDN delivers high-speed video via multiple global data centers to ensure that all viewers receive synchronized real-time video and up-to-the-minute bids.
With a latency of 500ms or less, we ensure that bidders stay in sync and allow for bidding to take place right up to the final moment.
Dispute resolution
We uphold the integrity of live auctions by providing necessary features for resolving bid timing disputes. One such feature is live clipping, which allows you to create and share clips from your auction within seconds of airing.
Additionally, we offer the ability to record your auction streams and access the files post-event.
After testing & deploying multiple vendors who advertised support for live auctions, we quickly realised none were up to their promise. Until we tried Millicast [Dolby.io Real-time Streaming]. What a relief to find such a solid solution during the COVID crisis.

The audio quality is great, and the ease-of-use for developers is incredible. Because of Dolby.io we don’t need a specialized WebRTC developer – our devs can just read the docs, and boom: we’ve got audio and video streaming in the browser.
