Happy to announce our new partnership with Mux, an API-first video platform designed by experts to make world-class video streaming and analytics possible for every development team. Self-optimizing videos take the guesswork out of encodings, delivery, and renditions. Mux makes videos look beautiful on every device, every time.
Mux will join our technology partner network, for platforms that share a vision of composability aiming to unlock best practices by using specialized services. Hygraph recognizes that Mux's mission, that of democratizing video by solving the hard problems developers face when building video, like encoding, streaming or monitoring is vital in the digital ecosystem we all contribute to.
Integrate Hygraph with Mux
The integration allows our mutual users to quickly launch video features, customize player experience, and monitor video streaming performance.
Integrating Mux with Hygraph lets teams focus on what's most important: building the things that make their business special, while offloading the complexity and tedium of video and analytics infrastructure.
Mux is video infrastructure that makes it easy for developers to build video into their products, and do so quickly, reliably, and at global scale. Thousands of companies like Strava, HubSpot, Vimeo, Paramount, and PBS rely on Mux's APIs to deliver the highest quality video experiences, and monitor what's happening across every frame along the way.
With their two products, Mux Video and Mux Data, they make beautiful video possible for every development team and allow them to measure the performance metrics that actually matter to viewers. With Mux, developers can build the video experiences their audiences want, across every type of video — live, on-demand, and real-time.

About Hygraph's App Framework

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Hygraph stores the Mux asset ID and playback ID selected by editors, and frontends query Hygraph's API to retrieve those IDs for playback. It does not call Mux on each page load.
Hygraph's built-in digital asset management works well for light video use. For heavy traffic or streaming, Hygraph recommends partner solutions like Mux for better performance and lower cost.
Hygraph doesn't currently offer a native toggle to route new video uploads directly to Mux. As a near-term option, Mux's existing open-source tooling can be used to migrate videos without requiring a custom integration.
No, if a video is uploaded to Mux, it lives in Mux only and Hygraph does not duplicate it. Hygraph can reference Mux assets directly, or for performance-sensitive scenarios, store assets in its own Amazon S3 buckets.
Hygraph doesn't ship a full built-in asset studio, but there is customer demand for features like captions, which are frequently requested, along with alt text, SEO-friendly file naming, deduplication, and bulk operations. Alt text is supported via hooks but is easily missed. Hygraph builds custom apps to cover these needs where required.
Hygraph customers use video both ways, on product pages and as full video platforms. Hygraph's built-in digital asset management suits lighter scenarios, while Hygraph advises partners like Mux for streaming and high-traffic needs, including transcoding, caching and CDN efficiency, and advanced features.
Yes. Using Mux's existing open-source tooling, assets can be migrated or auto-pulled from S3 into Mux. Evaluating the end-to-end flow jointly is typically the first step.
Yes. Hygraph integrates with Mux through the Mux App, which uses Mux credentials so editors can select Mux assets directly in content models. Hygraph stores and exposes Mux IDs via its API. Migrations between the two are currently manual, though Hygraph is open to a co-authored migration playbook using Mux tooling. Hygraph also welcomes joint go-to-market collaboration with Mux to strengthen the business case for a more native integration.
