About Univid
Our story and how it all got started..
Our vision 🚀
Everyone should be able to create a memorable digital live experience
At Univid we have three core beliefs. A webinar platform should be 1. easy-to-use, 2. allow you to design, and 3. engage your attendees. So, we built Univid. In less than 60 seconds, design your own branded webinar, allow attendees to interact, and take next steps through call-to-actions. Univid is fun and easy, yet professional.
Univid - The easy, interactive and beautiful webinar platform 👇
1. Creating webinars is too complex 🤯
Creating webinars today is far too complex - taking up way too much time. With many platforms, you need to download software, hire a consultant to customize, or drown in settings and configurations. The majority of webinars do not require a ton of complex features. That's why Univid is easy - both for hosts and attendees. The learning curve is extremely low. Anyone can use Univid to create stylish and interactive events in less than 60 seconds. Duplicate with design templates and smoothly connect to your CRM for one source of truth.
2. Let's face it - webinars can be boring.. 😴
The absolute majority of webinars today do not engage participants enough, or at all. Often it is just a one-way communication, Netflix-style, which causes attendees to loose focus, open another tab, get a bad impression of your brand, and completely miss the message.
So how do you engage the audience?
Well, adding interaction should not require a third-party application, where the participants need multiple devices or tabs open. Webinars should be dead simple to attend and engage in. The interface should be visually appealing and easy to use for both participants and hosts.
Univid is designed to have some low barrier type of interaction, such as live reactions, that then lead into bigger type of asks - such as CTA-buttons or having attendees answer free-text polls. So, live reactions, word clouds that update in real time, beautiful polls, or anonymous Q&A - the host decides what should be active.
3. You don't bring your clients to the storage room.. 🙅
Well, in a physical setting - if you have clients coming over, you wouldn't bring them to the messy storage room. So, why would you bring your digital attendees to an anonyomous gray meeting room, or somewhere you likely face technical chaos?
The venue should reflect you and your company. It should look good, be branded, and easy to use for both participants and hosts. This will strengthen your brand and allow you to build relationships with people who want to do business with you.
And fun is NOT the opposite of professional - you can easily turn reactions off, make attendees completely anonymous and have a sleek corporate design.
A Swedish company 🇸🇪 Founded at KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Univid was founded in 2019 by Jonathan Rintala and Erik Skogetun at KTH in Stockholm, Sweden, where they both studied for a master's degree in engineering - Industrial Economics with a M.Sc. in Computer Science and Machine Learning. Univid emerged as a response to the fact that university lectures lacked interaction and were not digital. And then went on to deliver platforms for large events during the pandemic, after a surging inbound demand from event firms and production companies.
Fun fact: Univid is still the official supplier of platform for over 700 events yearly in the largest political fair in the world - Almedalsveckan, taking place on Univid.
