Vidcaster

Vidcaster was a business video experience platform (a 500 Startups / 500 Global portfolio company) that helped organizations use video strategically across marketing, sales, training, and customer support. Its platform let teams host, manage, enrich, distribute, and analyze videos with a customizable player, video galleries, lead-generation gating, video subscriptions, advanced video SEO, and integrations with marketing-automation, CRM, and social channels. The company now appears defunct because the vidcaster.com web application is no longer reachable (HTTPS/HTTP connections time out) and no public API or developer program was ever published. Retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical portfolio-lead profile.

Vidcaster is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Video, Video Platform, Video Marketing, and Video Hosting.
