Financial details of the deal weren&#8217;t disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The RayV team shares our passion for innovation and commitment to build a video infrastructure to deliver the ultimate video experience to our users&#8221;, Yahoo&#8217;s head of cloud platforms, wrote in a blog post announcing the move.<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2005, the startup is based in Los Angeles with R&amp;D operation in Tel Aviv, Israel. Yahoo said that RayV&#8217;s team will join its own research and development center in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe Yahoo will be a perfect fit for our people and capabilities, as Video and Mobile offerings are a central part of Yahoo\u2019s vision&#8221;, the startup said announcing the acquisition on its website.<\/p>\n<p>Acquiring technology that enhances video streaming makes sense for Yahoo as the company has been putting in a lot of effort to improve and expand its video offerings. The company recently announced that it would revive cult-favorite comedy show Community, which will return for a 13-episode sixth season.<\/p>\n<p>Back in April, the company announced a partnership with live events promoter LiveNation. Under the deal, starting in July, a new online channel hosted by Yahoo will feature one concert per day for the next several years. In addition, the company also announced two original half-hour comedy series of its own.<\/p>\n<p>Yahoo has also hired high-profile media personalities like Katie Couric, who conducts video interviews with well known personalities like Michael Bloomberg, Bryan Cranston, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to RayV&#8217;s acquisition, Yahoo tried to acquire Hulu and DailyMotion, but the attempts ultimately fell apart.<\/p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
