New video platform combines chat, movies and mega shows
A GROUP of Indian-American entrepreneurs have announced the launch of an online platform which transcends the border of regular video conference towards screening of online movies to hosting political rallies, town halls and concerts which can be accessed by up to 30,000 people at the same time.
Christened ‘We Must Meet’, the proponents of the new platform say the technology has been entirely developed in the US.
‘We Must Meet technology is community-based. It will change the way people will host business meetings, fund raising political rallies, town halls, concerts, screen online movies, impart education and conduct medical research," New York-based founder and creator of We Must Meet, Al Mason, said in a statement on Wednesday (27).
‘We Must Meet is the first video conference platform to have features to screen Bollywood and Hollywood films online. It acts like as an over-the-top (OTT) platform - as an online theatre where filmmakers can screen their own cinematic content,’ said founder Manju Mason.
‘Today the majority of top Bollywood and Hollywood filmmakers are making content for OTT - exclusively for online screening. India's OTT market is the fastest growing, and has potential to become the largest in the world,’ added Rahil Manji, the technical advisor for the tech project.
We Must Meet is powered and managed by technology company iotum. ‘It will connect students and learners to their curriculum and training from anywhere in the world via browser-based remote learning,’ said founder Pooja Patil.
Indian-American Dr Raj Bhayani, a renowned medical professional and surgeon having held various leadership positions in the healthcare field and leading hospitals in New York, said We Must Meet makes healthcare easy and secure and manageable for providers equipped with state-of-the-art features.
