New grad here, starting my first job. Wondering what's some cool tech in the streaming field that I should try to get myself into? Any recommendations on fields that I should research and learn about? Thanks for all the help!

Robust streaming technologies seems like a question HBO would know very little about.
TuneIn, we put radio on the internet
agree, but likely other companies are generations ahead. so less cool tech more catchup game for tunein
One thing you'll learn pretty quick is that streaming on demand content is super different than the things you need to do on a player/tech side to support live streaming. Look into how that works, and how live manifests work. It'll give you a bit to chew on :) Welcome to the industry!
The coolest tech is well maintained systems that can be developed upon easily. So awesome.
Roku is building a great platform

Talk to the player team! Lots of friendly smart folks you could chat with. Unfortunately, the latest streaming tech and drm is something that is semi-closed to the open source community / public (on purpose). It’s much easier to dig into these kind of technologies as part of a media company.
In my experience from working at a few media companies the tech that changes the most and is the most interesting around streaming is less about the actual player/user experience. Like previously mentioned too any new tech is kept under wraps and it tends not to change unless they are falling behind in some way or it’s breaking (media companies especially Tw now ATT is notoriously silo’d and slow to change even if executives will say different in town halls). They are more focused on how to monetize the user into audience segmentation, displaying 3rd party ads, brand safety, integrating different vendors while at the same time protecting their data. I would talk to the media analytics team or ad-tech integrations team. That’s where I think the bread and butter is when it comes to tech around streaming versus actual player.
