Plectica LLC, a productivity software company, today introduced VideoKit, a platform for developers that provides a fast and easy way to embed flexible video features into any software product or service, including custom apps built for virtual events, multiplayer games, remote work and other apps for collaboration and socializing.
Connecting and collaborating with others remotely – for work, school, or leisure – has become the new normal during COVID-19. As a result, many companies are developing new applications with features that replicate and even improve upon the best aspects of in-person experiences and events.

These applications could be anything from a platform for hosting virtual events, to an HR tool for conducting remote interviews and assessments, to a yoga studio that wants to stream live group workouts, to an e-learning app where teachers and students can play educational multiplayer games together. There are countless opportunities for adding face-to-face interactions to enhance how people work, meet, and mingle online.

“Because of COVID and continued social distancing guidelines, people have realized that video conferencing software like Zoom and Microsoft Teams are not silver bullets and don’t really work well for running many kinds of virtual events, conducting remote learning, or even casually socializing with family and friends,” said CEO Adam Riggs. “All of the developers, creative studios, and independent software vendors tackling these challenges today can use VideoKit to easily integrate an optional video layer into their custom application in just minutes, so they can focus on their core competencies and accelerate time to market.”
VideoKit is differentiated from other video platforms in how easy it is to get up and running. Whereas other tools may take days or weeks for developers to integrate into their applications, it’s common for integrations with VideoKit to take just a few hours worth of developer effort.
