Remote vs. in-office viewer engagement: the Hive platform adds an extra layer of granularity by showing how engagement levels compare among viewers joining video broadcasts remotely or from the corporate office.

Audience insights: demographic and geographic data on employee viewers, as well as their viewing behavior throughout the duration of each broadcast.

Trends over time: video performance over time, including views, viewers by device and browser, and average viewership by day of the week.

Advanced video interaction data: detailed insights into user interactions with your videos, such as hover events and video clicks.

Live streaming analytics: viewer engagement and quality of service during live events, including peak concurrent viewers and stream health.

Pre-event testing: the Hive platform enables you to simulate video events on Vimeo Enterprise ahead of time to identify and troubleshoot potential issues in advance.

Instant reporting: instant visual participation reports can be generated and shared with company executives, minutes after the broadcast ends.

Live streaming and VoD analytics: viewer engagement and quality of service during live events and video on demand, including peak concurrent viewers and stream health.

How we integrate

Hive’s browser-based video optimization technology (HTML5 plugin) seamlessly wraps around the Vimeo video player, intercepts and redistributes the stream across a mesh of interconnected viewers within the corporate network, resulting in an up to a 99% reduction in Internet bandwidth consumption.

Hive helps ensure a flawless video experience for all Vimeo Enterprise viewers, regardless of whether they are working remotely or at the office. This in turn, has a direct impact on viewer engagement, keeping it consistently high throughout the duration of each broadcast and preventing viewer drop-off. After the event, viewer engagement can be validated with Hive’s instant live video event reporting.
