The CPaaS provider, Vonage, has launched Interactive Broadcast with Experience Composer, the latest feature of its video API.
Interactive Broadcast with Experience Composer allows users to have a more interactive and customisable virtual event.
The CPaaS provider, Vonage, can now support events with up to 15,000 participants interacting in real-time. Previously, its multiparty video had a maximum capacity of 5,000.
The software allows for programmable video streams, overlays, real-time audience interaction (chats, emojis, etc.), and application UX elements. When the composer settings have been programmed, the session can be broadcast to live audiences and recorded for future playback.
Zeus Kerravala, Principal Analyst, ZK Research, said: "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."
"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."
Interactive Broadcast also offers low-latency HLS streaming to unlimited viewers and social media streaming via Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Twitch.tv, and others.
Four use cases of this technology pointed to by Vonage are events, healthcare, education, and collaboration.
