uStudio Introduces First Live Audio Podcasts for Enterprise Communications

Allows workforce to connect to real-time company news and events with a single tap on a mobile device

AUSTIN, TEXAS - April 30, 2019 - Leading media platform company uStudio announced that it has added secure Live Audio Streaming to the industry’s first enterprise podcasting solution it launched last year. New in-app notifications and live audio streams allow business leaders to communicate securely with their workforces in real-time, providing them a more convenient and reliable option for listening to company updates on-the-go, rather than requiring corporate network or intranet log-in.

“Our Enterprise Podcasting customers continue to appreciate the simplicity and power of a single mobile media application for securely sharing important information with employees. Adding live audio podcasts to our application was a natural progression,” said uStudio vice president of engineering, Michael Nels. “Whether in transit or at their desks, leaders and employees alike can now listen to sales meetings, weekly leadership updates or quarterly town halls at the click of a button, without fumbling with dial-in numbers or participation codes. Live audio is a great way to keep people connected, and we’re excited to bring the first secure solution to enterprises.”

According to IWG, 70% of global professionals work remotely at least one day per week and 53% work remotely for at least half of the week. The predominant way for remote workers to access real-time, secure company communications is to either dial into conference calls or for them to bypass corporate security protocols and use publicly-available chat applications. uStudio’s Enterprise Podcasting solution solves this challenge without compromising a company’s security standards. Using the new live audio podcasting feature, individuals can listen to company meetings faster and easier than ever.

uStudio live audio benefits:

• Integrates with any existing enterprise live streaming infrastructure.
• Single button access to live streams within the uStudio Enterprise Podcast application.
• Automatic reconnection if a stream is dropped, resuming where you left off.
• The ability to pause your live stream and resume at a later time.
• Recorded playback available in minutes for those who missed all or part of a stream.
• Real-time in-app notifications to alert users when a live event is in progress.
