Supports up to 15,000 participants simultaneously in real
time and streaming to unlimited viewers
HOLMDEL, N.J., March 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vonage
(Nasdaq: VG), a global leader in cloud communications helping
businesses accelerate their digital transformation, has launched
Vonage Interactive Broadcast with Experience Composer to enable
developers to quickly and easily create more engaging live events
with the flexibility to capture dynamic sessions any way they
choose to customize the experience.
The Vonage Video API has long offered the ability to compose
video layouts for broadcasting and recording in real-time as the
video conversation occurs, rather than relying on post-processing
services with a much higher latency and lacking live interactivity.
Real-time interactive broadcasts combined with composed cloud
recordings has been a favorite use case for virtual events and
education platforms.
"The pandemic ushered in the era of virtual meetings and they
are here to stay. Over the past two years, the definition of
virtual events has expanded as one size does not fit all and now
includes company meetings, brainstorming sessions, marketing events
or any other use cases that includes a large number of
participants," said Zeus Kerravala,
Principal Analyst, ZK Research. "Vonage's Interactive Broadcast and
Experience Composer enables organizations to quickly create custom,
virtual events that offer a best in class experience. It also
includes a wide range of channels so participants can attend,
collaborate, create and interact any way they like."
Vonage Interactive Broadcast powers large-scale interactive
experiences directly within websites and applications, and supports
events with up to 15,000 participants interacting simultaneously in
real time, plus streaming to an unlimited number of viewers with
low-latency HLS streaming, and streaming to social platforms
including Facebook Live, Twitch.tv, YouTube Live, and more.
Interactive Broadcast with Experience Composer can be programmed
to include video streams, overlays, application UX elements and
real time audience interaction, like chats, emojis, whiteboards, or
any other user interfaces - there is no limit to the number
of scenes and scene perspectives can include Metaverse elements.
The Composer can then deliver the entire experience into a
broadcast session to global interactive and live streaming
audiences and this full experience can be simultaneously recorded
to allow for immediate on-demand access when the event ends.
"Virtual events and experiences have grown and expanded rapidly
to meet customer expectations and now there is a strong demand to
capture these rich experiences and customer engagements for use on
demand," said Savinay Berry, EVP,
Product and Engineering, Vonage. "Imagine a distributed group of
scientists, or physicians or product designers, explaining a new
idea using simulations, feedback tools, chat and whiteboards, in
addition to videos of the speakers, and wanting to easily share all
of these elements with tens of thousands of engaged audience
members. Vonage Interactive Broadcast with Experience Composer does
that."
Vonage Interactive Broadcast with Experience Composer—currently
in beta— enables new communication & collaboration use cases
that require powering rich customer experiences across different
channels:
- Events - Developers can quickly and easily create
virtual panels, with many remote presenters, complete with event
branding, marketing logos, streamlined look & feel and emojis
which can be integrated with Vonage's Video APIs to enable large
live interactive events and/or live event streaming without added
complexities.
- Healthcare - Developers can build telehealth
applications that capture all the user interface (UI) elements
beyond video - including remote health monitors, medical imaging,
connected devices, and augmented reality - and design the future of
remote healthcare.
- Education - Allows for broadcast and recording of the
student / teacher engagement which captures the full student
experience comprising all the web components - participant videos,
chat, whiteboards etc.
- Collaboration - Teams today are distributed and global
and need to collaborate on complex work tasks that may include many
online tools that they need to ensure are captured in on-demand
recordings, and broadcast when needed to larger review audiences.
This is especially true for teams in medicine, product design,
architecture, science, research, content creation, and other
creative disciplines.
Interactive Broadcast with Experience Composter is a Best of
Enterprise Connect award finalist in the Best Innovation for
Virtual Meetings category. Winners will be announced March 22, 2022 at the Enterprise Connect event in
Orlando, FL.
