This popular social experience of creating videos has posed a problem for many companies because they have no way to effectively distribute, organize, and share this content within their organizations. To address this issue, NewsGator introduced their Video Stream solution package to provide organizations with a "YouTube for the Enterprise" solution that is truly social.
When employees shoot a video, Social Sites 2010 video file sharing software allows users to upload large videos in a broad number of supported file formats. A thumbnail is automatically created of the video and is then posted to the activity stream. Users can socially interact with the videos by watching them inline within the activity stream using the Microsoft Silverlight Player, liking them, adding comments, and seeing comment history and reactions to videos. Employees can browse videos by community, most liked, most recent, or most viewed.
Video Streaming Solutions: Streaming, File Compatibility, and Deployment Options
Video Stream delivers bona fide streaming versus progressive download, meaning users never experience frustrating delays while the video loads the next segment. Video Stream delivers smooth HD streaming of up to 1080p, yet intelligently dials down the size of the video to a range your network can handle at the time.
Users need not worry about file compatibility, either. NewsGator Video Stream automatically handles all the major codecs, including Windows Media (WMV, WMA), AVI, QuickTime (MOV), DirectShow Filters, MPEG-2, AVCHD, and Dolby Digital. It also supports Silverlight 4.0 and the Smooth Streaming output codec.
There are multiple deployment options — integrate Video Stream directly into SharePoint 2010 or in conjunction with NewsGator's comprehensive social platform, Social Sites 2010. Organizations can use Video Stream to create a standalone video community or can add video capability to every community. Or they can do both.
So let your employees fully experience social learning. Have them unveil a product, demonstrate a process, or introduce a new concept. Or let them call up a colleague on Microsoft Lync, and upload the video call recording into the Video Stream. A minute's action is suddenly worth a million words.
