We’re excited to announce the General Availability of VidyoPlatform, which will be the replacement for the Vidyo.io platform. It offers all of the same benefits of the current Vidyo.io platform and more.

VidyoPlatform officially launched last June, and a large number of customers have already successfully migrated over from Vidyo.io. We strongly encourage Vidyo.io customers to begin the process of migrating over to VidyoPlatform as soon as possible.

What is VidyoPlatform?

VidyoPlatform is a solid foundation of industry-leading technology that powers enterprise collaboration, customer and patient engagement, and embedded video. It provides crystal-clear, real-time video interaction for all customer deployment models including on-premises, hybrid, private cloud, and multi-tenant cloud.

What are the benefits of VidyoPlatform?

• Includes a single platform technology available on public cloud, private cloud, hybrid, and on-premises
• Supports mobile WebRTC on both Android and iOS
• Supports desktop WebRTC on both Windows and Mac for all major browsers
• Includes high resolution and simulcast support
• Offers both consumption-based and concurrency billing models

What is the migration process?

1. Fill out the VidyoPlatform Tenant Info survey.
2. After you submit the survey, you will receive an email with your VidyoPlatform credentials.
3. Vidyo will provision a pre-production/development tenant for you free of charge until you’re ready to move forward with production.
4. When it’s time to move to production, Vidyo will transfer your remaining minutes or licenses from Vidyo.io over to VidyoPlatform.

If you are a Vidyo.io customer who uses Chrome WebRTC, you must complete the migration to VidyoPlatform by mid-July due to expected changes happening on the browser at that time.

If you have any additional questions, please review the Transitioning from Vidyo.io to VidyoPlatform FAQ article or contact us at support@vidyocloud.com.

What Is the Issue?  

On December 31, 2020, Adobe® will no longer support Flash® Player. Versions of VidyoReplay prior to 20.2.0 rely on Flash; therefore, you must immediately upgrade your VidyoReplay to version 20.2.0 or you will no longer be able to play back recorded videos.

As a reminder, Enghouse Vidyo released VidyoReplay version 20.2.0 on September 21, 2020 to proactively replace Flash Player with the HTML5 Player. For more information about VidyoReplay version 20.2.0 and about Adobe’s deprecation of Flash Player, refer to the following:

• VidyoReplay Release Notes for Version 20.2.0
• VidyoReplay Product Bulletin for Version 20.2.0
• Adobe’s announcement that they will no longer support Flash Player after December 31, 2020
  
  

Which Versions Have Already Resolved the Issue?

If you have already upgraded to VidyoReplay version 20.2.0, which uses the HTML5 Player, you do not need to take any action.

Which Versions Are Still Impacted? 

VidyoReplay versions 20.1.0 and earlier rely on Flash, and therefore, are impacted by its End of Life. All of these versions must be upgraded by December 31, 2020.

What Actions Can I Take Now?

• If you are an on-premises or hybrid customer, you must upgrade by downloading version 20.2.0 from theVidyoReplay Packages article on the Vidyo Help Center.
  • For important upgrade steps, refer to the Upgrade Steps Look Up Tool article.
• If you are cloud customer, you will be automatically upgraded to version 20.2.0 in the coming weeks.
