Create a distinct personal element with videos to increase engagement
Whether it is your digital marketing campaign, e-commerce site, a classroom, or customer service portal, use the power of videos to build a vivid experience and drive engagement.
“Teachers can seamlessly switch to any length of video that supports their lesson plan, even just a minute’s worth, to stimulate students’ interest in the subject and engage them even more. After all, student engagement is the secret to improving academic achievement.”
Evan Clark, Founder and CEO

“No matter how rich your content may be, it will not provide value to users if they cannot view it conveniently. Subscribers use our services through various devices, including TV, PC, smartphone, tablet and gaming devices. By using Microsoft Azure, we were able to develop a distribution platform which delivers the content you want to view, when you want to view it.”
Osamu Hamada, Operating Manager, Systems Division

As your marketing campaign takes off, or your video goes viral, use the cloud to scale as you need and pay as you go. With more regions than AWS and Google combined, expand to new geographies seamlessly.
