Ziggeo is an Ideal Tool to Capture Videos for Journalism / News Sites
Ziggeo is the ideal tool for journalism and news sites to capture videos from people all around the world, whether it be for late-breaking news, video commentary, casting for experts, or videos submissions from field journalists.
How it works: Through Ziggeo’s embeddable video recorder, videos can be recorded remotely and submitted directly to your media management dashboard. And from there,
you can share and launch the videos as you like.
Complete Video Service: Ziggeo is a full video solution for video recording/plyaback as it takes care of the recording, transcoding to all necessary formats, playback and storage.
Security: Ziggeo has the highest degree of security possible. With our patent-pending technology, Ziggeo was designed from the ground up to ensure that videos can only be accessed by those with permission.
Mobile-friendly: Field journalists, experts, your audience or anyone anywhere in the world can record videos from any device. No downloading of an app is required as recording is browser-based. That said, in addition to Ziggeo’s set of APIs, SDKs for video recording/playback are available to integrate into mobile apps.
Control Video Length: You are able to set a maximum recording time so submitted videos are no longer than the time limit you set. So for instance, you may want video commentary to be no longer than 15 seconds, in which case that is all the recording time people have. That may also cut down on your own editing time as people need to self-edit as recording time is limited. You can also allow as many re-records as possible so that videos can be practiced and perfected before submission.
Media Management / Curation Dashboard: Recorded videos can be submitted or uploaded directly to a media management / curation dashboard where videos can be viewed, shared, downloaded, and/or launched for public viewing.
Secure Video Sharing - Private or Public:
Ziggeo lets you have complete control over who is able to view the videos, which can be as private or public as you like. Videos can be kept completely private, shared with your colleagues, and/or launched to a public-facing website for all to see. You also launch videos automatically to YouTube from your dashboard and/or share videos via e.g. Facebook. You can also launch videos to a private website so that only those with special member privileges can view the videos.
White-labeled Recorder/Player: The embeddable video recorder/player can be seamlessly integrated into your website. Completely white-labeled, it can morph into the colors, shape and look of your brand/site. Videos can then be recorded right from your website -- or you can send private links to e.g. experts who can be led to where they can record videos from a private site which is, for instance, password protected. You could also embed the video into an app that can loaded onto phones for e.g. field reporters so they have instant and immediate access to where videos can be recorded and/or directly submitted.
Branded Videos: Videos can be branded with any logo or overlay right from your media management dashboard. Once videos are launched for public viewing (e.g. to YouTube or via Facebook feeds), they can then carry the brand and message together with them.
Video Wall Template: Ziggeo’s Video Wall template can be used to attractively display videos in a gallery like format. You can use Ziggeo Pages for our hosted solution -- or you can copy and paste the code into your site for a completely integrated display solution. Learn more about the Video Wall here.
Automatic Video Tagging: Ziggeo also has an automatic video tagging mechanism which generates keywords and lets your videos be searchable. It’s ideal for e.g. SEO purposes.
Supports webRTC: Ziggeo fully supports web-RTC whenever possible which makes recording all the more seamless. Ziggeo can detect which browsers and devices support webRTC -- and for those that do not, Quick Start: Ziggeo Pages offers you a quick and easy start to capture video submissions from your customers.
