An Interface & Experience Designed Specifically for Video
Virtuvent Platform’s design creates a simple & easy way for viewers to find the content they want, watch content across different devices, & interact with others that share similar interests
Custom Branding
Full control over your video website branding – with basic options out the box (logo & color) or more advanced customizations (CSS & theming)
Responsive Design
All interfaces are fully responsive to mobile, tablet & web devices – with customized UI, navigation & content for each viewport
Multi-Tiered Navigation
Package content in a way that makes the most sense to users browsing your site, with scalable support for unlimited categories, subcategories & channels
Search & Discovery
Content is easy to find using deep search that crawls content metadata, transcription texts, chapters & custom data. Filters can be used to sort results by name, timestamp & popularity
Closed Captions & Transcriptions
Send videos to be transcribed with a single click, with options to pick language, accuracy & turnaround time. All transcriptions can be presented as closed captions & are searchable
Social Features
Let your users interact with your video content using our built-in social tools such as Like, Share, Comments and Playlists. You can also syndicate content to other sites via XML & MRSS
Recommended Content
Encourage users to watch more content that they’re interested in by recommending videos that have similar metadata, or promote content manually using a manual or conditions-based playlist
Email Notifications
Keep your users up-to-date with automatic, branded transactional email on all application actions that matter – like registration confirmations, subscription purchases, new content availability, comments & more
Multi-Source Player
Content that is captured as multi-source or content that contains embedded slides or chapters can be viewed using Virtuvent’s multi-source player. Viewers can switch between different viewing experiences – such as fullscreen, picture-in-picture & multi-view
