Vizrt announces new version of Viz Social platform

Vizrt has announced the release of the new version of Viz Social, its cloud-based platform remote and instudio production of live graphics and interactive content.

Completely cloud-native and browser-based, it features a Flowics-based interface to provide a more intuitive and improved experience for users. This version of Viz Social increases speed, simplicity and offers users an advanced suite of integrations with social media and messaging platforms, alongside addons such as Twitch and Facebook Live extensions. Users of Viz Social can also incorporate custom data from RSS and JSON feeds.

Unique interaction mechanics such as ‘Flockto-Unlock’ enable producers to generate interest around exclusive content which is ‘unlocked’ by reaching a target. Audience scoring and a real-time on-air progress bar further drives audience engagement. These interactive activities offer a distinctive viewing experience and create giveaway opportunities for content creators.

Other advanced capabilities of Viz Social include: easy integration with Vizrt graphics workflows (Viz Trio, Viz Pilot Edge), supports a wide range of broadcast graphics engines, hashtag- based polls across multiple social media platforms, audience engagement mechanics, social media counters and streaming Extensions.

“Many conversations we have had with broadcast customers recently have reinforced the need for clever solutions regarding visualization and viewer participation tools. The acquisition of Flowics by Vizrt last year expanded our potential to offer a faster, more efficient, and optimized platform for the curation, management and visualization of social media posts,” says Tehseen Akhtar, Deputy Global Head of Product Management Vizrt Group. 
