Did you know that once you become an api.video customer, you have the power to activate even more features?

 

Yes, additional features we call ‘Add-Ons’.

 

As it must be clear by the word itself, the Add-Ons offer you a wide set of ‘additional’ services that you can purchase to unlock the full potential of your video experience with api.video. The Add-Ons are primarily useful for teams looking to grow and scale faster.

 

There are two Add-Ons that you get when you become a customer of api.video:

 

  • Members
  • Custom Domains

 

Let’s look at them one by one.

Members

A ‘Member’ is any person who can access the api.video service. So, you can make others a member of your project and grant them the ability to access and contribute towards effective collaboration and communication.

There are two types of members you can add to your projects:

 

Owner: One owner can be added to a single workspace and represents the person who owns the account. He/she can view the account's billing details, change the payment method, and is the only one that can transfer ownership.

 

Collaborators: It is possible to add as many collaborators as you want per account, to a project. You can invite and work together with collaborators in the common workspace.

Custom Domains

‘Custom Domains’ is a feature that lets you stream videos or live streams from your own domain (such as videos.yourdomain.com/ or livestreams.yourdomain.com/).

 

It lets you brand your video URL, comply with network security and increase your SEO ranking.

How are the Add-Ons helpful

Add-Ons can prove really helpful if you wish to optimize the complete potential of api.video. Here are some of the things you can achieve with Add-Ons:

 

  • Maximise your productivity by managing your customers via dedicated customer video libraries, and inviting collaborator members.
  • Maximise your efficiency by facilitating coordination between your creators, editors, reviewers, and publishers, and encourage your customers’ firewall management with Custom Domains.
  • Save the extra investment on Video Asset Management (VAM), Production Asset Management (PAM), and other Digital Asset Management (DAM) tools.

How to use Add-Ons for your business

Let me share examples of how Add-Ons can be used in three different industries.

 

E-Learning: If you are an e-learning platform or website, teachers or tutors of the platform can be added as Collaborators so that they can upload tutorials, lessons or conduct a class via live- streaming. Additionally, Custom Domains can help you manage multiple e-schools and their specific firewall requirements.

 

Social Media: If you are a social media platform, Collaborators, who are often content creators, can easily upload videos via their dashboard, allowing non-technical people to assist in the process. Lastly, Custom Domains can be used to protect and maintain the brand identity through personalized domains.

 

Marketplace: If you are a marketplace, Influencers and content creators can be added as Members to your workspace and Custom Domains can be used to retain and establish the brand identity.

 

To conclude, Add-Ons will be immensely helpful if you want to extract the maximum output from api.video tools. Use the Add-Ons to facilitate important business decisions, analyse your videos’ performance and collaborate for your ongoing projects.
