Video has become an essential technology for learning and talent development. It can often be faster to produce than traditional online courses, making it ideal for emergency upskilling and redeployment scenarios. Video has also become a critical component of people’s workflow and learning experiences, with 68% of workers, managers, and leaders stating they use video content to learn at least once a week.

“Now, more than ever before, customers are seeking ways to create learning experiences that are not just cost-efficient, but also responsive to market shifts,” explains Chris McCarthy, CEO of Degreed. “Many of Degreed’s customers are looking for sophisticated video management tools, and simpler ways to encourage workers to create and share user-generated learning content. Over 90% of Degreed customers use video content every week. We partnered with Kaltura because they offer some of the most user-friendly and secure tools we have seen for live-streaming, as well as an intuitive app for personal video capture and creation.”
