Now more than ever, video has become the primary form of workplace communication — live meetings, town halls, product launches, and employee trainings. Yet, despite its widespread adoption at work, most companies lack a cohesive video strategy. As a result, businesses are faced with:
- Knowledge buried in silos and inaccessible to employees
- Content that is not secure or compliant and risks leaks
- Multiple point-solution video tools that don’t work well together
- Video that is one-dimensional and not engaging
To be successful in this new era of work, companies need a video-first solution that establishes a holistic video strategy across the organization.
Introducing Vimeo Central. Vimeo Central is a secure, AI-powered video hub designed to empower employees to communicate through video, extract actionable insights from a centralized source of truth, and perhaps most importantly, become a more connected and productive team.
Leading brands, including Whole Foods, eBay, and Zuora, are already leveraging capabilities within Vimeo Central today. Vimeo Central provides a full suite of capabilities for organizations.
Video Library: Advanced search and embeddable hub
Our Video Library centralizes video content into a searchable, embeddable hub to provide leaders with greater control and visibility, while enabling employees to quickly find and share what they need.
We ingest video content through integrations with Zoom, Dropbox, Webex, Google Drive, and Box, or simply through uploading video content from any other system. Our advanced search allows teams to quickly access relevant content across the library through keyword search based on transcripts. From there, our high-quality video player or showcase of videos can be embedded alongside other types of content on intranet or LMS systems to meet employees where they’re at.
"Video is core to how we run Zuora — how we engage employees, collaborate across teams, and connect with customers. Vimeo gives us a centralized suite that makes our asset library and editing tools easily accessible to all our employees — enabling us to become a video-ready enterprise.”
Vimeo AI: New AI-generated video details, highlight reels, and Q&A
Once all of your content is centralized in one place, our new AI capabilities can help drive significant gains in productivity across your organization by putting your video content to work. With Vimeo AI, we automate redundant and complex video-editing tasks through auto-generated video titles, tags, and chapters in order to make videos easier to find.
Our highlight reels and text-based summaries recap hour-long video content into shorter segments that enable employees to get up to speed on key takeaways without watching the entire recording.
Lastly, we turn videos into a two-way dialogue by enabling employees to ask the video any natural-language question or select from pre-populated FAQs to guide them to that exact moment in the video. This extraction of rich knowledge from within videos unlocks value in an instant, while making videos an even more engaging experience.
"Video has tremendous value, both as a communication medium and a continuous knowledge source. IDC research shows that organizations today are targeting video for team collaboration and employee engagement with the goal to improve productivity. These companies need a secure, centralized video hub to assist employees in their daily tasks and tap into the collective knowledge only possible at scale with AI-powered video tools.”
Capture: Enhanced screen recordings, new video editor, and collaboration tools
Teams need a streamlined set of tools to create, edit, and collaborate through video.
Use our recording studio and built-in teleprompter to capture video messages in an instant. Polish your message using our new editor to remove unwanted gaps or audio errors. Share the recording with your team and have them collaborate through @mentions, sharing specific chapters, and more. Employees can stay on top of new comments or video uploads through Slack or email notifications.
Events: Interactive viewing experience with advanced breakout rooms
Leverage Venues, our dynamic and highly engaging viewing experience, to transform monotonous company town halls and training sessions into memorable moments to foster deeper connections between employees.
Employees can engage through a range of tools, including personalized GIFs, embeddable widgets that connect to third-party tools, hand raises, and more. Our advanced breakout rooms enable hosts to flexibly sort employees into predetermined rooms based on any registration field criteria, such as team or region, in order to drive deeper retention of knowledge on a particular subject. Add an agenda and customizable branding in any room to make your event your own.
In addition to Venues, our extensive live-streaming capabilities help hosts run events with ease and confidence using our browser-based production studio, RTMP streaming, live production services, and Enterprise-grade quality features like eCDN, fail-safe streaming, and backup streams.
Analytics: Robust dashboard and API with team-level analytics
Measure the impact of your internal communications by tracking employee engagement in our comprehensive analytics dashboard. Our team-level analytics enable admins and owners to track which employees within teams have viewed a video and for how long, identifying those who may still need to complete a training.
Organizations can also leverage our new Analytics API to generate a holistic picture of how your employees are engaging alongside existing data and systems such as Tableau, Looker, or PowerBI.
