Arena has just partnered with Vimeo and will be providing audience engagement tools. So, from now on, Vimeo OTT customers can easily add the Live Chat platform to their channels, enabling its audience to comment, engage and interact with each other (and with the channel’s owner) by using Arena’s codeless, scalable chat solution.

Vimeo and Arena. Two stories that now converge into one

The world’s leading all-in-one video software solution, Vimeo’s platform enables any professional, team, and organization to unlock the power of video to create, collaborate and communicate, serving their growing community of over 260 million users – from creatives to entrepreneurs to the world’s largest companies.

In addition to working with Vimeo, Arena has over 200 million monthly users, 2 billion monthly messages sent and more than 25 thousand customers in 150 countries. This is a business that, between 2020 to 2021, saw a fivefold revenue growth. The expectations are to reach the 100,000 customer mark in 2022 and tackle the ecommerce, streaming, digital events, fintech, media, and edtech markets.

Conclusion: Arena and Vimeo. Meant to be together

The video streaming market is hot and, with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, content consumption is expected to increase even more. By 2028, it is estimated to reach US$932.29 billion, according to a 2021 Fortune Business Insights survey. With an eye on this growth and continued sophistication of user requirements, Arena has partnered with Vimeo to offer engagement solutions for Vimeo OTT users.
