Annoto provides its in-video collaboration solution for Live video and VOD across the different Kaltura products.
Elevates KMS beyond a mere video content management system to a dynamic e-community hub, fostering a vibrant interactive space for users.
Annoto enhances audience engagement by making viewers active contributors, creating an immersive experience that mirrors the interactivity of in-person events. With support for Kaltura Webcasting, Annoto extends the conversation from live events to on-demand video (VOD), maintaining the context of each interaction. This feature not only enriches live streaming with collaborative notes and discussions but also preserves these interactions for the VOD content, with comprehensive analytics accessible via the Annoto dashboard.
Annoto supports Kaltura Webcasting and provides a unique capability of continuing user discussions and personal notes that were made during live video streams, on VOD, keeping each comment in sync with the video. Annoto provides analytics and insights on the user's activities during the live session and afterward in the VOD. Now Kaltura Webcasting users can collaborate and take notes during live streaming and then continue on the recorded content, and all the analytics will be available through the Annoto dashboard (also integrated as part of Kaltura). Kaltura Webcast has added support to “Live to VOD” - This is a unique capability enabling all user interactions (comments, notes, votes, etc.) created during the Live session to be available on the recorded session as well.
