Enterprises can now take advantage of the distribution and network optimization capabilities of the enterprise webcasting solution for broader delivery of videoconference sessions.
  • Webcast viewers can now read the scrolling transcript of a live webcast, search for terms important to them, and click on any point in the transcript to jump to that point in the video. We have also standardized on WebVTT, the most widely used format for captions and transcriptions.

MediaPlatform Video Business Intelligence

The latest release of MediaPlatform VBI includes the following updates:

  • The Streams dashboard now gives administrators the ability to determine how many users viewed specific live streams in a webcast.
