Icareus Video Cloud new features
Icareus invests heavily in product development. We have published hundreds of improvements and numerous new features this year. Most of the work done on product development we base on the needs of our clients, in addition to which we do a great deal of “invisible” work to improve our service platform.
Here are the top 6 new Icareus Video Cloud features published during this past year.
1. Icareus Studio video editor
Icareus Studio is a browser-based, easy-to-use video editor that doesn’t require you to install anything on your computer.
With Icareus Studio, you can publish brand-appropriate video with no previous video editing experience, fast and easy. Edit video files, take screenshots – even capture webcam footage for a video.
2. MyIcareus mobile app
MyIcareus mobile app is a handy tool that allows users to film, upload, and publish video to the cloud with ease.
The app works on both phones and tablets, and is available for download from Apple’s App Store and Google Play.
3. Video and event analytics 2.0
At the start of year 2022, Icareus published a new video and event analysis platform, based on big data, for our clients to make use of.
This new solution provides its users with precise statistics of all views, watch times, and device types used to watch video, whether live or a recording.
4. Icareus caption tool
Before summer holidays, we rolled out the first version of Icareus’s very own caption tool – a tool especially yearned for by organisations following accessibility guidelines.
Icareus caption tool allows the creation, editing, translating and publishing of both captions and subtitles. The handy timeline and keyboard shortcuts make captioning easy, and text files can be uploaded to the tool to speed the process up even more.
5. Icareus chat/message board 2.0
Icareus is constantly improving already existing features, and a great deal of product development is based on client feedback.
One such long longed-for feature was the new and improved version of Icareus Message Board: among other things, liking and answering messages is now possible.
6. User access management
Our bigger clients can have dozens or even hundreds of admin users. In those cases, users are divided into different groups or units, with admins at the helm.
With the Icareus User Access Management tool, users can be divided into roles, such as main users, admin users and viewers. They can also be grouped up into specific teams, such as Communications, Education, etc.
Each user or team can then be given access to specific content.
