Multicasting to Facebook & YouTube will be available later this year. A key integration with this feature is that all streams can be easily merchandised with the TVPage Matching Engine, enabling shoppers to click to buy directly from the stream. In addition, any interactive call-to-action can be created, customized and incorporated into the stream experience on the platform, redefining the way marketers sell a product with video.

The platform offers many widget templates, fueled by the TVPage Video Recommendation Engine, all of which can now be easily customized in detail by a marketer without writing one line of code (developer tools are still available for further customization). Brands and retailers can now more easily deploy an immersive video experience at every stage of the customer journey, from homepage, category page to product page, boosting sitewide conversion rates.
- Social Sharing: VCC 3.0 enables its customers to drive new traffic and engagement by sharing shoppable video across all primary social media properties. Customers with dedicated video landing pages, which are easily published on the VCC, can now share links back to such pages from social media, enhancing the Video SEO value of such pages, and growing traffic from both social and search channels. Video engagement on social media generates a 23 percent higher click-through-rate than other non-video experiences. In addition, customers who watch product videos are 85 percent more likely to purchase than those who don’t.
