Both formats leverage our real-time streaming auction software to boost accessibility and participation.
Live auctions
Participants place bids in real-time, both in-person and online, under an auctioneer’s supervision, fostering a competitive environment that can drive higher bids.
Timed auctions
Timed auctions have set start and end times which let bidders place bids at their convenience, offering flexibility and attracting diverse audiences across the globe.
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.

CTO, Interencheres
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.
