For over 25 years, CollaborateVideo has been at the forefront of webcast production, creating compelling technology and driving innovation in the industry!

Since 1997, the founders of CollaborateVideo have been pioneering streaming and webcasting technology. While working on a video project at the Communications Research Centre Canada, we were inspired by the possibilities that merging television with the (at the time) new and burgeoning online world would bring. So, we founded MAXDigital Broadcasting Inc. and created a content distribution service and player software that met the constraints of bandwidth availability.

In response to client needs and the evolving video technology landscape, our software and content delivery services progressively expanded in scope and functionality. This legacy has helped prepare and position us to listen to what people want and then use this feedback to inform our platform development. Today, CollaborateVideo supports thousands of colleagues and their projects across the private and public sectors. Our mission? Deliver professional and accessible webcasting experiences!

Innovation at the Core

Innovation has always been at the heart of CollaborateVideo. We have consistently embraced new technologies and trends to stay ahead of the curve. From the days of broadcast video to the advent of digital media, we have adapted and evolved, always striving to deliver the best possible product to our clients. One of our key integrations has been incorporating analytics and metrics into our production process. By leveraging data, we can measure the impact of events, allowing clients to optimize performance and ensure that they achieve their desired outcomes.

A Client-Centric Approach

At CollaborateVideo, our clients are at the core of everything we do. The best experiences are created through collaboration and understanding. That’s why we take the time to get to know our clients, understand their needs and goals, and then work closely with them throughout the event and production process. Our approach has led to long-lasting relationships with clients who trust us and our partners to help bring their virtual and hybrid webcasting events to life.

Looking Forward

This industry is always evolving and at a very rapid pace. We are excited about these continued opportunities for innovation. Our vision for the future includes expanding our services, feature set, and platform capabilities. We believe technology will help make webcasting events more accessible, interactive, and engaging. That’s why we aim to keep listening to audiences and be part of this transformation.

We also want to thank our clients, partners, and team for their unwavering support and trust for over 25 years. Your belief in us has been foundational to where we find ourselves now.

From virtual meetings and webinars to conferences and training sessions, webcasting offers a convenient and efficient way to reach people. Accessing content and attending events online can also pose challenges though. Bridge the digital divide by limiting and addressing things like language barriers with inclusive webcasting practices.

Understanding Accessibility Challenges

When it comes to webcasting, accessibility is about more than just compliance with requirements. It’s about ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance, can fully engage with the content and participate in the event. Whether it’s impediments to accessing and navigating online content or interfaces, these challenges create barriers to participation that we want to remove.

Importance of Inclusive Practices

Inclusive webcasting practices are essential for creating a welcoming and accessible virtual environment for all participants. By incorporating inclusive features and design principles into webcasts, organizations can ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to access and engage with the content. Moreover, inclusive practices can help organizations reach a broader audience, foster diversity and inclusion, and enhance overall audience engagement and satisfaction.

Benefits of Inclusive Webcasting

The benefits of inclusive webcasting practices are manifold. By removing barriers, organizations can expand their audience reach. Inclusive webcasting can also help organizations foster diversity and inclusion by creating a more welcoming and accessible environment for people. Moreover, inclusive practices can enhance audience engagement and satisfaction, leading to better outcomes for participants and organizers alike.

Tools & Features for Inclusivity

CollaborateVideo’s platform offers a wide range of tools and features to support inclusivity in webcasting. From closed captioning and simultaneous interpretation capabilities to sign language options and multi-language support, our platform is designed to ensure that everyone can access and engage. Whether you’re hosting a virtual meeting, webinar, conference, or training session, we have the accessibility tools you need to create an inclusive experience for everyone.

Be Your Success Stories

Real-life examples and success stories demonstrate the tangible benefits of inclusive webcasting practices. Organizations that have embraced inclusive webcasting have seen significant improvements in audience engagement, satisfaction, and overall event outcomes. From increased attendance and participation to positive feedback and testimonials, the impact of inclusive webcasting is clear. Prioritize inclusivity and create more accessible and equitable experiences.

Tips for Creating Inclusive Content

Creating inclusive webcasts requires careful planning and consideration. Here are some practical tips for creating and delivering inclusive content:

1. Design accessible slides and visuals: Use high-contrast colours and clear fonts to ensure readability for all participants.
2. Use plain language: Avoid jargon and overly complex language that may be difficult for some participants to understand.
3. Provide alternative formats: To accommodate different learning styles and preferences, offer alternative formats for content, such as transcripts or audio descriptions.
4. Engage with your audience: Reach out and encourage feedback to ensure your content is accessible and relevant to all participants.

Future Trends & Opportunities

As technology continues to evolve, so do opportunities for inclusivity. Advancements in accessibility technology, such as speech recognition and natural language processing, promise further to improve the accessibility of online content and events. The growing demand for inclusive virtual events presents new opportunities for innovation and collaboration. By embracing emerging trends and leveraging new technologies, organizations can continue to push the boundaries of inclusive webcasting.

By breaking down these barriers, organizations can reach new audiences, foster inclusion, and enhance overall audience engagement and satisfaction. CollaborateVideo is committed to helping organizations embrace inclusive webcasting practices and providing the ideal accessible webcasting platform.

The Future of Livestreaming is Conversational

Few things are more frustrating than a one-sided conversation. Listening to someone drone on about themselves without pause to ask anything of their conversation counterpart is exhausting, frustrating, and leads to disconnection.

The same is true online, but few platforms create meaningful opportunities for two-way engagement. Largely, the only way for streamers to connect with their audience on an individual level is to acknowledge a comment or answer a question, but beyond that, there is little appreciation for the viewer.

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, Twitch’s most-followed streamer, emphasizes the value of making individual connections in his “Become a Streamer” course on MasterClass. According to Ninja, individual engagement is as simple as remembering comments from top followers from stream to stream and asking them follow-up questions the next time you see them in the chat.

But at scale, or with hundreds of comments pouring in at once during popular live streams, this isn’t realistic for all creators.

Creators are increasingly leaning on new tools to make streaming feel personal for each user. For example, chat-powered polls, interactive maps, and question aggregators turn cascading comment sections into engaging visuals that acknowledge users’ inputs as more than just fleeting statements.

In the coming months, data will become instrumental to streamers’ decision-making and community expansion. Streamers looking for a strategic approach to measured growth should turn to data that helps them understand and engage their audience. Using new tools to track most engaged users and stream performance over time helps creators to know what’s resonating in their communities.

The advantage is two-fold. Viewers feel more engaged and enriched and streamers reap the benefits of higher engagement, enabling them to continue to produce quality content. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Turning Conversation into Community

In the long term, streamers across platforms are striving to cement communities of like-minded hobbyists, encourage dialogue and foster connection. But to do so requires intentionality and a dedicated strategy to sustaining conversation—not only from the creator to their audience but also between audience members.

One way streamers can develop enduring conversations is to adopt a multi-platform approach, utilizing different platforms to cater to various aspects of their community. For instance, they might use Twitch for live streams, YouTube for edited highlights, and Discord for ongoing conversations and community-building activities.

This strategy not only broadens the creator’s reach but also provides alternative ways for the audience to engage with the content and each other, fostering a more robust and interconnected community. Creators should prioritize tools that integrate easily across all of their channels, keeping the experience consistent no matter the platform.

Creators can also leverage the power of storytelling by incorporating interactive elements into their streams. By allowing viewers to influence the direction of the content through making choices or giving suggestions in real-time in the chat to open-ended prompts, creators can craft an immersive experience that resonates more deeply with their audience because they have bought into the narrative. This collaborative storytelling approach not only keeps viewers engaged but also makes them feel appreciated as co-creators of the content. It simply requires implementing existing technology that visualizes live chat responses as users engage.

Creating Connection

Building a loyal following takes time—just ask Taylor Swift, who’s been at it for nearly two decades. But by bringing the right combination of technology and structure to livestreaming, creators can cultivate relationships that feel as authentic as friends sitting over a dinner table or New Yorker’s singing Celine Dion. In a new world, where digital connections are poised to become a central part of our lives, creators eager to grow with their audiences should prioritize creating individual relationships, making space on their platforms for two-way dialogue.

Making information accessible to everyone is not just a choice but a necessity. This principle is embodied in the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) which aims to create a barrier-free Canada. This legislation focuses on several key areas, from employment to information and communication technologies. So let’s delve into the webcasting side of things and how CollaborateVideo can help you ensure that your virtual and hybrid events are compliant!

Webcasting With Accessibility in Mind

CollaborateVideo understands the importance of making digital content accessible to everyone. Our commitment to inclusivity and webcasting for all is a driving force behind the design and development of our platform. One of the significant aspects of the Accessible Canada Act relevant to webcasting is the need for accessible formats and communication supports. This involves ensuring that individuals can access information in a way that works best for them. 

CollaborateVideo’s platform provides customizable closed captions, enabling viewers to follow the content effortlessly. Our platform also supports audio descriptions for videos on demand (VOD), making visual content more accessible. We believe that every user deserves an enriching and immersive experience, and we’ve implemented features that go beyond the standard to ensure that everyone can participate.

Where Compliance Meets Innovation

The Accessible Canada Act emphasizes the importance of designing and delivering information and communication technologies that are accessible to everyone. CollaborateVideo not only complies with these regulations but goes beyond to make webcasting a seamless experience with our user-friendly interface designed with accessibility in mind. 

Navigating through the platform is intuitive and we’ve prioritized compatibility with assistive technologies, ensuring that users with disabilities can easily engage with the content. Webcasting is about fostering real-time interaction and engagement and we take pride in offering live chat features that are not only dynamic but also accessible. We understand this significance and our platform ensures that every user can actively participate in these discussions.

Additionally, the CollaborateVideo platform supports multiple languages and sign language options, allowing users to choose the one that best suits their preferences and needs.

It’s crucial to recognize that organizations that fail to adhere to the regulations outlined in the Accessible Canada Act may find themselves facing legal consequences. Non-compliance can result in penalties, fines, and (more significantly) creates barriers rather than removing them. Organizations must take a proactive approach towards accessibility and doing so benefits everyone be it the employers, employees, and persons with disabilities.

Navigating the landscape of webcasting, accessibility, and regulatory compliance just got simpler. By choosing CollaborateVideo, organizations can be confident and compliant with regulatory accessibility standards — contact us today!

The Significance of Accessibility in Webcasting

Accessibility is not just a buzzword, it’s a fundamental principle that shapes the inclusivity of online content and events. When it comes to webcasting, ensuring accessibility is paramount for several reasons.

Firstly, a more accessible webcasting experience broadens the audience reach. People with disabilities, including those with visual or auditory impairments, should be able to engage with the content effortlessly. Incorporating features like closed captions and sign language ensures that everyone can participate, fostering a more diverse and engaged audience.

Secondly, accessibility is not only a requirement in many cases but also a moral imperative.

CollaborateVideo understands the importance of accessibility in webcasting and has incorporated a suite of features that make their platform stand out in this regard.
