- Through Search, SharePoint, and Teams, enterprises can now promote, organize, and provide access to their uStudio podcast content
uStudio, a leading platform in streaming media and podcasting for the enterprise, announced new integration with Microsoft 365. uStudio customers can now use Microsoft SharePoint, Teams, and Search to discover and access enterprise audio and video podcast content on the uStudio platform. For business leaders with an investment in Microsoft products, this integration expands content discovery and engagement with relevant channels, shows, and episodes.
“We designed our platform from the beginning to ensure that our customers’ users could easily discover streaming content outside of our application while still enjoying our optimal, consumer-like streaming experience. I’m excited to offer our customers a new discovery path with our Microsoft integration.”
uStudio’s new integration comes on the heels of growth in the enterprise podcasting industry. As companies accommodate new work-from-anywhere policies, corporate media streaming networks are becoming an essential part of training and communications. Since podcasts can be played anytime, anywhere, uStudio gives time-shifted and multi-tasking workers an alternative to emails, newsletters and live video meetings.
