Video is experiencing wide-spread adoption across public and private enterprises of all sizes.  As a result, organizations need easy to use video solutions that can support accessibility requirements as well as multi-language capabilities to reach a global workforce.  Vbrick has recognized this need and continues to innovate with enhancements to the viewer experience for live webcasts.

With this December 2020 release, Vbrick extends integrations with Microsoft Teams to bring complete self-service webcasts to any Microsoft Teams user.  Microsoft Teams users are now able to seamlessly and efficiently deliver large scale internal and external video streaming events through Rev’s integrated CDN and eCDN video distribution capabilities.

In addition, the WebVTT format for captions is now supported for upload as well.

“At Vbrick, our mission is to partner with our customers to leverage the power of video to empower and engage with their employees and transform their organizations.  Reaching every employee means meeting them in their preferred language and I’m excited that our new live transcription and translation capabilities will mean broader reach for that video content.  Empowering users also means making the process of creating video content and hosting webcast events much more self-service. Our new Microsoft Teams integration is the latest development in our effort to help organizations extend video streaming and on-demand capabilities across the enterprise with a seamless user experience.  Our December release continues the journey we’re on to ensure everyone in an organization can benefit from the power of video,” said Olivier Meyer, VP of Product, Vbrick Systems, Inc.
