Starlight Networks was founded in 1991 by Charlie Bass (engineer), Jim Long and Mark Gang and investors Accel Partners and Interwest Partners. The company created some of the first commercial video-on-demand and video streaming products. The first Starlight Networks product was called StarWorks and enabled on demand MPEG1 full motion videos to be randomly accessed on corporate networks.

Originally the press referred to networked video as 'store & forward video' but that changed after Starlight Networks began describing it as 'streaming video'.

In 1995 Starlight introduced streaming video over satellites with Hughes Network Systems. In 1997 Starlight introduced the first full motion video Web Conferencing product, StarLive .
