Are you looking for a way to send or share a YouTube, Vimeo or other 3rd party video on Slack? If so you have come to the right place.
Uploading large video files like recorded meetings or other bulky long-form video content to slack can be problematic and frankly Slack is not designed to handle those use cases out of the box. Slack’s strategy for video relies on the many online video apps and providers in its ecosystem. Companies like YouTube, Vimeo, Vidyard, Frame.io (and many others listed below), specialize in handling large video formats natively in Slack.
With this model Slack users can simply install the video application from their preferred provider and manage, post and create video directly in a slack message or channel. Videos that are shared will automatically embed and a thumbnail will be created for the video. Videos will playback, inline, without download, within the Slack app both at the embedded resolution and at full-screen.
Another good example of video platform integration capabilities is how users access their video platform directly within Slack. As an example, video marketing software platforms like Vidyard are fully integrated, so Slack users only need to type ‘/vidyard’ to access Vidyard’s video functionalities, without ever leaving Slack.
Those are just a fraction of the capabilities offered and each vendor will have unique tools related to their specialty and niche. To learn more about video management software, visit our directory…
