KITCHENER, ON--(Marketwired - September 26, 2017) - Vidyard, the leading provider of new generation video platforms for business, today announced new capabilities, a new name and a bolder vision for its revolutionary video messaging app. Now named Vidyard GoVideo, the free application formerly called ViewedIt makes it easier than ever for business professionals, organizations and third-party app developers to create, share and track personal videos from within the tools they use every day.
"Video is the most powerful way to connect and communicate, but it's still too difficult and largely inaccessible for the average business professional," says Michael Litt, co-founder and CEO at Vidyard. "With Vidyard GoVideo, we're changing that. We're making it easy for anyone to capture and share personal video messages and screen recordings from within their application of choice. We're helping end users and businesses go video in a way that simply connects with how they do business today."
With more than 130,000 users in over 100 countries, Vidyard GoVideo has been embraced by business professionals as an easy way to record, share and track personal video messages and screen recordings. Business users have embraced video as a better way to connect with prospects, customers, partners and colleagues, just like they have done in their personal lives with apps like Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. With new capabilities announced today, Vidyard GoVideo makes it even easier for individuals to leverage video in their professional lives, and for application providers to embed video capabilities within their existing solutions.
