JioCinema is an Indian subscription based video-on-demand and over-the-top media streaming service owned by Digital18 a subsidiary of Viacom18, a joint venture of Network18 Group and Paramount Global. It offers free advertising- and subscription-based video on demand and live streaming content. The service was initially launched on 4 May 2016 alongside the public launch of the Jio mobile carrier.
In April 2022, the service was brought under Reliance's Viacom18 joint venture, backed by new funding from Uday Shankar and James Murdoch's Bodhi Tree Systems. JioCinema began to subsume Viacom18's existing streaming platform Voot later that year, beginning with sports programming in October, and Voot being officially discontinued in favour of JioCinema in August 2023.
