Business Description and Basis of Presentation	1. Business Description and Basis of Presentation Business Description Brightcove Inc. (the Company) is a leading global provider of cloud services for video which enable its customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective and high-quality manner. The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts and was incorporated in the state of Delaware on August 24, 2004. At June 30, 2017, the Company had nine wholly-owned subsidiaries: Brightcove UK Ltd, Brightcove Singapore Pte. Ltd., Brightcove Korea, Brightcove Australia Pty Ltd, Brightcove Holdings, Inc., Brightcove Kabushiki Kaisha (Brightcove KK), Zencoder Inc. (Zencoder), Brightcove FZ-LLC, and Cacti Acquisition LLC. Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. These interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events requiring disclosure, other than those disclosed in this Report on Form 10-Q. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, have not changed, except for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation

Concentration of Credit Risk

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Concentration of Credit Risk	2. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company’s accounts receivable. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of net accounts receivable. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, no individual customer accounted for 10% or more of total revenue.

Concentration of Other Risks	3. Concentration of Other Risks The Company is dependent on certain content delivery network providers who provide digital media delivery functionality enabling the Company’s on-demand application service to function as intended for the Company’s customers and ultimate end-users. The disruption of these services could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents [Abstract]
Cash and Cash Equivalents	4. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. The Company did not have any short-term or long-term investments at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on deposit with banks and amounts held in interest-bearing money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair market value. Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2017 consist of the following: June 30, 2017 Description Contracted Maturity Amortized Cost Fair Market Value Balance Per Balance Sheet Cash Demand $ 15,434 $ 15,434 $ 15,434 Money market funds Demand 12,917 12,917 12,917 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 28,351 $ 28,351 $ 28,351 Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2016 consist of the following: December 31, 2016 Description Contracted Maturity Amortized Cost Fair Market Value Balance Per Balance Sheet Cash Demand $ 23,942 $ 23,942 $ 23,942 Money market funds Demand 12,871 12,871 12,871 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 36,813 $ 36,813 $ 36,813

As of June 30, 2017, there was $17,030 of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock-based awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.21 years. On January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09. ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share based payments, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to make a policy election to recognize gross share based compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur as well as certain classification changes on the statement of cash flows. In connection with the adoption of this standard, the Company changed its accounting policy to record actual forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimating forfeitures by applying a forfeiture rate. As this policy change was applied prospectively, prior periods have not been adjusted. The Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment in the three months ended March 31, 2017, which increased accumulated deficit and additional paid-in-capital by $197. The following is a summary of the status of the Company’s stock options as of June 30, 2017 and the stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (In Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) Outstanding at December 31, 2016 4,150,584 $ 7.17 Granted 221,452 7.15 Exercised (174,894 ) 1.59 $ 1,095 Canceled (145,090 ) 8.22 Outstanding at June 30, 2017 4,052,052 $ 7.37 6.92 $ 2,388 Exercisable at June 30, 2017 2,020,833 $ 7.12 5.40 $ 2,144 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value was calculated based on the positive difference between the fair value of the Company’s common stock on June 30, 2017 of $6.20 per share, or the date of exercise, as appropriate, and the exercise price of the underlying options. The following table summarizes the restricted stock unit activity during the six months ended June 30, 2017: Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested by December 31, 2016 1,902,577 $ 7.84 Granted 212,395 7.58 Vested and issued (162,084 ) 6.90 Canceled (140,041 ) 7.84 Unvested by June 30, 2017 1,812,847 $ 7.86

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	9. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company, from time to time, is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these claims will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company based on the status of proceedings at this time. On July 8, 2016, a complaint was filed by Brand Technologies, Inc. naming the Company, along with several others, as a defendant in a case alleging copyright infringement, violations of the Lanham Act, unfair competition and related claims (Brand Technologies, Inc. v. Cox Enterprises, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the Central District of California). The complaint, subsequently amended twice by the plaintiff, alleges that Cox Media Group (CMG) engaged in the unlicensed provision of copyrighted videos owned by the plaintiff on CMG websites by using our technology. The amended complaint seeks actual and statutory damages, costs and injunctive relief. The defendants filed two separate motions to dismiss, both of which were granted and resulted in a narrowing of the claims in the amended complaint. The Company answered the amended complaint on April 21, 2017. On May 22, 2017, the plaintiff dismissed the case with prejudice; Brightcove did not incur a loss as a result of this matter. On May 22, 2017, a lawsuit was filed against Brightcove and two individuals by Ooyala, Inc. (“Ooyala”) and Ooyala Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Ooyala Mexico”). The lawsuit, which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, concerns allegations that the two individuals, who are former employees of Ooyala Mexico, misappropriated customer information and other trade secrets and used that information in working for Brightcove. The complaint was amended on June 1, 2017 to remove claims against the two former employees of Ooyala Mexico. The remaining claims against Brightcove are for violation of the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (18 U.S.C. §1836), violation of the Massachusetts trade secret statute (M.G.L. c. 93, §42), violation of Massachusetts Chapter 93A (M.G.L. c. 93A, §11), and tortious interference with advantageous business relationships. Ooyala and Ooyala Mexico also filed a motion for preliminary injunction (amended at the same time the complaint was amended), seeking to enjoin Brightcove and the two individuals from using any of the allegedly misappropriated information or communicating with customers whose information was taken, and seeking the return of any information that was taken. On June 16, 2017, Brightcove filed an opposition to the motion for preliminary injunction, and also moved to dismiss the lawsuit. The Company cannot yet determine whether it is probable that a loss will be incurred in connection with this complaint, nor can the Company reasonably estimate the potential loss, if any. Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations The Company typically enters into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses and costs incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s customers, in connection with patent, copyright, trade secret, or other intellectual property or personal right infringement claim by third parties with respect to the Company’s technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. Based on when customers first subscribe for the Company’s service, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under certain of these indemnification agreements is unlimited, however, more recently the Company has typically limited the maximum potential value of such potential future payments in relation to the value of the contract. Based on historical experience and information known as of June 30, 2017, the Company has not incurred any costs for the above guarantees and indemnities. The Company has received requests for indemnification from customers in connection with patent infringement suits brought against the customer by a third party. To date, the Company has not agreed that the requested indemnification is required by the Company’s contract with any such customer. In certain circumstances, the Company warrants that its products and services will perform in all material respects in accordance with its standard published specification documentation in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products and services to the customer for the warranty period of the product or service. To date, the Company has not incurred significant expense under its warranties and, as a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is immaterial.

Debt

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	10. Debt On November 19, 2015, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and security agreement with a lender (the “Loan Agreement”) providing for up to a $20.0 million asset based line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). Under the Line of Credit, the Company can borrow up to $20.0 million. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, excluding our intellectual property. Outstanding amounts under the Line of Credit accrue interest at a rate equal to the prime rate or the LIBOR rate plus 2.5%. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including maintaining a minimum asset coverage ratio. If the outstanding principal during any month is at least $15.0 million, the Company must also maintain a minimum net income threshold based on non-GAAP operating measures. Failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could permit the lender under the Line of Credit to declare all amounts borrowed under the Line of Credit, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Line of Credit as of June 30, 2017. As the Company has not drawn on the Line of Credit, there are no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2017. On December 31, 2015, the Company entered into an equipment financing agreement with a lender (the “December 2015 Equipment Financing Agreement”) to finance the purchase of $604 in computer equipment. In February 2016, the Company drew down $604 under the December 2015 Equipment Financing Agreement, and the liability was recorded at fair value using a market interest rate. The Company is repaying its obligation over a two year period through January 2018, and the amount outstanding was $181 as of June 30, 2017.
