How the Latest Video API Innovations Can Benefit Your Business
Video conferencing may be a given in the business world today, but innovations in the video technology space mean that it can be used for so much more than just virtual 1:1 or team meetings. Now businesses have the opportunity to customize video solutions to suit their specific needs — and solutions like the Vonage Video API are designed to accomplish just that. Read on to learn about the latest innovations in Video API technology and how they can benefit your enterprise.
Hyper-Verticalization Powers Industry-Specific Video Offerings
Video technology is far from “one size fits all.” In fact, video solutions are increasingly aligned to the trend of hyper-verticalization, in which built-for-purpose applications are not only industry specific but specific to the unique customer experiences each organization uses to differentiate themselves. More video solutions are now being developed with the goal of better serving a defined audience, thus helping businesses in those spaces maintain compliance and design video experiences to meet their specific users’ needs. Let’s take a closer look at how the latest Video API offerings benefit agile enterprises and influence entire industries.
Healthcare
Video use has rapidly accelerated in healthcare. The healthcare space now leverages video for 1:1 consultations, group therapy, and expert consultations, with tools and data integrated with video into one platform. A HIPPA-compliant solution optimized for multi-party conferencing, like Vonage’s Video Express, can make it easy to quickly set up a telehealth offering and integrate video into a healthcare platform’s existing application.
Events
The events industry has likewise seen as much, if not more, innovation in the last two years as healthcare. Virtual events went from being cringeworthy, dreaded offerings in 2020 to quite warm and personal — and possibly even fun — in 2022. Video technology needed to evolve to keep pace with the demand to make these virtual events engaging and meaningful for customers. For those in the events industry, consider turning to the latest in Vonage Interactive Broadcast. From greater reach (up to 15,000 participants) to the addition of the Vonage Experience Composer feature (now in Beta), events platforms now have a prime opportunity for differentiation in the virtual events realm, as they create customized video event experiences that immerse audiences during and after the event.
Education
In education, institutions may now need to use video to connect dozens of class and meeting participants, while adhering to requirements to protect students’ privacy. Video innovations like Vonage Video Express can help ensure that the complex demands of virtual learning are met to keep students, teachers, and parents engaged.
Contact Centers
Contact centers are also embracing video technology, as businesses realize the customer experience value of video engagement. Video technology may be new in this space, but it offers many possibilities for engagement, from virtual agent and customer assistance to visual commerce and business services.
