CONTUS VPlayed’s Role in Easing their Migration to the Video Streaming Realm
Having created several versatile content on the different dynamics of triumphing in the stock market, our client wanted to migrate to a full-on streaming platform that was feature-rich and boosted audience retention.
CONTUS VPlayed, in this case, analyzed the requirements and ideated a solution that would resonate with their vision in reinventing their business outlook alongside easing financial education across Pan India.
And there began a revolutionary association, wherein, the edutainment dream was soon brought to life with a technically-masterful video platform on 3 different mediums, Android TV app, iOS, and web.
White Labeling, Customization, & Beyond
Besides the robust white labeled streaming solution CONTUS VPlayed is, the portal was rebranded aesthetically to reflect the brand identity in both static and non-static pages.
This was done in addition to the number of value-added features that were included to keep the learning experience as engaging as possible.
The voice-over notes option, for instance, lets the viewer take notes while a video is on the roll, fostering an innovative take on the flip-classroom atmosphere.
And on the admin front, the incorporation of customized attributes such as text-based push notifications, OG tags, and plan-relevant offline download options enhanced the functional stability and marketability of the OTT platforms for increased subscriptions.
On the Security Front
A well-defined authentication-based viewing system, inclusive of social login options, was integrated to differentiate the video access based on the viewer being a guest user, registered user, or a premium user.
And piracy-free viewing was ensured by making the best use of video watermarking that fetches user id to hinder screen-recording and digital theft malpractices from occurring.
This indeed is in addition to the tightly-knit security handling of each step of VPlayed’s default solution.
An Alliance that Matters
Our client being one of the pioneers in financial education, CONTUS VPlayed reformed the business operations by seamless migration to a brand-new OTT platform that is techno-crafted for new-age edutainment.
