Hey streamers 👋

Yango Play launched in MENA a year ago, and it caught everyone off guard. Is it a video platform? A music app? A gaming service?

Turns out, it’s a bit of everything. A super media app.

They made a big entrance just before Ramadan last year with billboards, digital ads, and even a takeover of the LED Sphere in Riyadh.

Now it’s Ramadan 2025, and Yango Play is back in the spotlight.

Before we jump in, quick update: I released a short video two days ago all about this topic.

From now on, I’ll share one short video every week, each covering a story in the streaming world. (Next one will be about the investment of Warner Bros Discovery in OSN).
