Currently, if a business or organization wishes to provide supplementary information to their video, they can only do so in a manner that pulls users away to a separate site or service. Whether that information is a map, a registration page, or photos, users are pulled away from the content and the context of the video player.
Viewbix tackles this problem with a custom video solution that lets users add dynamic, interactive content to their videos in less than three minutes. Viewbix works with videos hosted on popular platforms such as YouTube and Facebook, or any self hosted video. Users can customize the player with their own branding along with custom calls-to-action, or they can incorporate apps into the player such as maps, registration forms, or photos. Additionally, Viewbix provides support for a number of popular third-party services including Twitter, Flickr, Skype, Mail Chimp, Yahoo Weather, and many others.
Ultimately, businesses and site owners see greater user engagement and increased conversion rates when leveraging the Viewbix platform.
