RingCentral has today announced the release of a new AI-Powered Virtual Events solution Studio.
Natively integrated into its RingCentral Events platform, Studio offers event organisers a unified, professional streaming experience that aims to simplify and enhance every aspect of event production.
"RingCentral Events is the go-to platform for any organisation looking to elevate their events to be more memorable, personalised, and engaging, and with the launch of Studio, we're taking the production element to a whole new level,"
Kristen Koenig, Regional Vice President & GM, Video & Events at RingCentral, said.
These new features promise users the ability to produce professional and branded event streams, and utilise AI video clipping and audience engagement features, all within the same user interface.
This aims to eliminate the need for costly production agencies or complex multi-platform setups.
A Look at Studio
Studio represents an increase in abilities for RingCentral Events platform. RingCentral Events is an all-in-one solution for virtual, onsite, and hybrid event needs.
The platform can scale to host events with up to 100,000 attendees, provides integrated tools for registration, analytics, session management, and engagement, and offers a suite of AI-powered features powered by RingCentral's RingSense AI platform.
With the launch of Studio, RingCentral Events users can experience an all-in-one speaker experience, which allows event hosts to manage their entire production from a single screen.
This streamlined approach addresses a common pain point in virtual event management, where speakers often struggle with multiple browser tabs and disjointed interfaces.
Studio's real-time streaming capability is another standout feature, delivering content to audiences without the delays typically associated with third-party streaming platforms.
The platform's seamless event management tools include pre-uploaded content capabilities, allowing organisers to prepare videos, music, and images in advance.
A private backstage chat feature facilitates smooth communication among team members and speakers during live events.
Additionally, the multi-select content and speaker controls offer unprecedented flexibility, enabling producers to move elements on and off screen with ease.
Studio enables event sessions to be customised with advanced branding options and varied speaker layouts, ensuring a cohesive and impactful audience experience that aligns with organisers' brand identities.
On the audience side, Studio brings a raft of new features that are aimed to help with engagement. Speakers are now able to directly engage in attendee chat, highlight questions and answers, and showcase polls, emoji reactions, and call-to-action banners directly on screen.
Equally, AI Q&A categorisation allows quicker comprehension of questions.
These engagement analytics are available through dashboards, integrations, CSV reports, and API, providing organisers with valuable insights for post-event follow-ups.
