Cincopa steps in to provide the online conference platform with the bandwidth it needs

The rise of online conferences during COVID-19 & the need for better solutions

When developing this two-headed video approach, Mr. Berner chose Vimeo to host United to Heal’s video content. The videos uploaded during the summit (and which can be accessed freely for a period of 24 hours) would routinely attract several thousands of viewers.

The spread of COVID-19 had a significant impact on the average viewership of said conferences.

Much of the summits’ audience stuck in various states of quarantine, along with a spike in interest to consume health-related content resulted in the interview videos attracting an average of 18,000 viewers.

Such an increase in audience size necessitated a considerable expansion of bandwidth.

Inconsistent levels of customer success had Mr. Brenner’s reexamining his reliance on his chosen video hosting platform even before the outspread of the global pandemic. A disproportionate and seemingly arbitrary spike in price for bandwidth that would accommodate the exponential growth in viewership led Mr. Brenner to seek more dynamic solutions.

Cincopa bandwidth provision:
The swaying card

Leveraging Cincopa’s robust security features, United to Heal continues to stipulate access to its entire video library by paid subscription.

The explosion in interest for summit-related videos brought in a large number of international viewers who cannot comprehend German, the language in which the interviews are predominantly conducted in. Conversely, a majority German-speaking audience would find it difficult to follow the select interviews which are conducted in English.
