Platform Feature Release: Brand New Video Player Capabilities

Produce video content more people want to and can watch with our new video player capabilities: change playback speed, quality, and upload caption files.

According to Invideo’s researched data, if you’re a brand and you’re not making video content, here are three statistical signs you should start developing a robust production plan ASAP:

According to Cisco, by 2022, online videos will make up more than 82% of all consumer internet traffic — 15x higher than it was in 2017 (Cisco).
Viewers retain 95% of a message when they watch it in a video, compared to 10% when reading text only. (Insivia)
As stated in a December 2021 Wyzowl survey, 94% of marketers say video has helped them increase understanding of product or service and 86% of marketers say video has helped them generate leads.

Basically, brands are finding that video content is a more valuable tactical investment than it has been in the past five years.

People watch more videos online than they ever have before, they retain more information from watching online videos than reading text, and video views tend to generate higher quality leads for brands.

If all of the above is true, then video is arguably the medium with the highest potential ROI. More importantly — everyone deserves to experience the beauty and power of graphic art regardless of their physical ability. Therefore, creative marketing teams should spend equal time focusing on robust creative concepts as they do making video content as accessible and digestible as they can.
