Live video has become an essential tool for corporate communication—webinars, live-streamed events, live podcasts, and shows all rely on real-time video. But behind this digital revolution lies a major challenge: its environmental impact and the urgent need for digital sobriety.
To put things into perspective, a single company meeting on traditional platforms emits around 1.3 tons of CO2, the equivalent of a round trip from Paris to Buenos Aires.
Live video relies on servers, networks, and viewers' devices. The larger the audience, the greater the energy consumption.
At Sparkup, sustainability is at the core of what we do. We believe real environmental awareness doesn’t come from empty words or corporate greenwashing—it comes from concrete actions that empower individuals to make a difference.
That’s why we’re excited to announce the integration of Quanteec’s Green Score into our live video platform!
In this article, we break down how this innovative and interactive tool adds a fun and educational dimension to sustainability while making Sparkup’s responsible streaming impact visible for every viewer.
What is the Green Score?
"By choosing Sparkup, you’ve chosen the most eco-friendly way to watch a live event."
Sparkup is a live video platform designed with energy-efficient technologies.
On average, streaming a live event with Sparkup saves around 70% energy compared to traditional live-streaming solutions.
This is made possible by cutting-edge energy optimization technologies, including:
- Cloud rendering, reducing energy consumption by 20%
- Adaptive bitrate streaming, optimizing bandwidth use
- Quanteec’s peer-to-peer technology, reducing reliance on central servers. In a nutshell : less server load = Less energy consumption.
And that’s where the Green Score makes all the difference!
Making Sustainable Impact Visible in Real Time
The Green Score is a dynamic eco-gamification widget that lets viewers see in real time the positive environmental impact of watching a live event on Sparkup.
It translates energy savings into tangible, relatable metrics:
🌍 CO2 saved – Measured in grams of carbon emissions avoided
💡 Light bulbs turned off – The equivalent electricity saved from unused servers
💧 Water conserved – The amount of water saved by reducing server cooling needs
This isn’t just another number. It’s a way to make Sparkup’s impact tangible and to encourage businesses to move toward more responsible streaming.
