ActStream's tools empower organizations and people to produce, capture, deploy, and track
video-based media for a wide variety of business and personal communication purposes.
Using a webcam, microphone, and desktop computer, users log into ActStream’s secure ASP
application via the Internet. Here they use the software tools to create and deploy video-based
media applications such as messages, applications, websites, newsletters, training and education
formats, and presentations. A defining feature of ActStream's technology is its ease of use.
Clients are able to create and deploy video-based media "on the fly," within minutes, and with
little or no technical or design experience.

and new product launches to their customer and prospect communities. A key criterion was to match
and report user activity on a per recipient basis.
The solution was to create an interactive video-based newsletter that incorporated tracking metrics
on a per recipient basis.
