Cambridge, Mass. - Brightcove, a provider of online video hosting and distribution services, has announced that it will no longer support uploads of user-generated videos as of next month, as the company shifts focus instead on the video it distributes for major media partners.

Brightcove CEO Jeremy Allaire made the announcement on the company's blog.

"While the consumer-facing Brightcove.TV website has been popular (e.g.,Comscore reported ~8M monthly unique users in August), it has been dwarfed by the adoption of our Internet TV platform by media businesses around the world," Allaire writes.

"Our growth in the platform space has actually been quite significant with over 4,000 commercial media publishers using Brightcove to distribute and monetize their broadband video properties."

The company now provides Internet TV distribution for firms including Viacom, CBS, Fox, HBO, Dow Jones, Hearst, The New York Times and many record labels.
