The arguably crowded videoconferencing arena gets another contender as Kaltura, provider of the lecture capture and storage platform, enters the field with Kaltura Meetings, a means for "reliable, scalable and secure" video collaboration.
According to the company, Kaltura Meetings provides easy one-click entry, with no need for downloads and installations, together with digital whiteboards, shared meeting notes and downloadable chats. Kaltura Video Portal comes built-in, allowing users to manage, search, edit, publish and automatically transcribe meeting recordings, as well as easily access cloud recordings of collaboration spaces once the meeting is done.
“With the launch of Kaltura Meetings, we bring a unified platform to the market, supporting the full range of enterprise communication styles, including a seamless workflow from meeting to recording with all of the video enhancements and media intelligence you need to provide engaging and productive experiences across any organisation,” the company says. “We have always made it a priority to build open and interoperable products, allowing our customers to easily extend and enhance existing solutions and platforms. That is why our meeting experiences are already integrated with many leading platforms, and are also available as part of Kaltura’s Video Platform as a Service.”
The Meetings platform ships as part of the Kaltura Communication and Collaboration suite, together with Townhalls, Webinars, Podcasts, Video Messaging and a full video content messaging system. It supports any meeting size, including "hundreds of thousands" of attendees, and the company says customers can use it in collaboration with Zoom and Webex to have meeting recordings flow into the Kaltura video portal for easy discovery. The solution also integrates with Microsoft Teams to enable a seamless workflow.
