Chapter 1Put video where your engagement is.
A modern approach to video meetings.
We recently shared research on video meetings. One of the interesting findings was people are now starting to consider collaboration as a form of communication.
Video meetings are a primary collaboration tool with embedding video meetings becoming more prominent as a way to engage and communicate with customers, patients and students. Although phone calls, email, SMS and chat apps are still primary channels, video usage is growing.
Interestingly, embedding video meetings is not a new idea. Back in 2013, it was all the rage and Hertz tried it for “live agent” kiosks. Over the years, companies have made attempts to use video more prominently at points of customer engagement. Banks are still trying it with video tellers. But bandwidth constraints and video and audio quality issues have limited adoption and success.
If your company has previously tried incorporating video meetings into apps and workflows and hit these constraints, It’s time to try again.
What’s changed? Essentially, the technology has matured to a point where it’s easy to deploy and it just works.

The inflection point.
In early 2020, we saw a dramatic increase in video meetings usage by schools, companies, communities, journalists - essentially most types of businesses and organizations.
Creative teams and developers were embedding video meetings into their apps to tackle all sorts of different use cases, from work collaboration to education, from happy hours to Dungeons and Dragons sessions.
From that experience, 8x8 learned that users want to find video meetings right where they need them, integrated in the apps they already use, embedded in the websites they already visit.
The 8x8 engineers were inspired by all of that creativity and got busy. From that work they created Jitsi as a Service (JaaS). JaaS lets you use the Jitsi iFrame API and mobile SDK to embed meetings in any web or mobile app. It gives you full control of meeting access through strong authentication and supplies a comprehensive set of webhooks to help apps control and interact with meetings.

Education.
With many school districts planning for long-term virtual learning, secure video is essential to support distance learning. Teachers and students alike depend on an online learning environment that removes distractions and fosters connection. Exploring and collaborating on each lesson requires a high-definition video and audio solution with the flexibility to configure the capabilities and look and feel that are best for the learning environment.

Reimagining technical support.
The do-it-yourself spirit is strong, and there are numerous examples where paying a few dollars for access to an expert, through video, would be extremely useful—and Youtube videos have their limits. For example, you’re wiring up new recessed lighting in the kitchen. Before spending hours on hardware store round trips and straining your marriage, imagine purchasing a 30-minute 1:1 video session with an expert who walks through your plan, reviews your supplies, and teaches you how to complete the wiring quickly and safely.

Feature-rich AND predictably affordable.
Almost all meeting solutions charge on a per-minute per-participant basis. If you have 10 people in an hour long video session, you'll be charged for 600 minutes. Those charges add up very quickly, and it's nearly impossible to forecast what your costs will be.
8x8 decided to switch it up. JaaS pricing is based on a Monthly Active User (MAU) model. This approach brings predictability into your costs and reduces your monthly bill dramatically. Pricing starts at $0.35/MAU and decreases based on volume. And if you just want to kick the tires and learn more about Jitsi as a Service, we offer a developer package option that lets you have up to 25 Monthly Active Users for free.
