The State of Enterprise Video 2022
If there's one thing that's certain during these uncertain times, it's that the enterprise video space continues to see one of the most significant growth curves of all of the streaming categories we cover here at 流媒体 杂志. 研究 conducted by the 流媒体 team, in conjunction with the team at the Help Me Stream 研究 Foundation as part of the biannual State of Streaming surveys, shows that enterprise video growth outperforms online sports content, outshines the glamour of online entertainment, 超过了教育用途, and is only second to the almost supernatural growth of the houses of worship market.

It hasn't always been that way. In fact, for the 2020 原始资料 article, "The State of Enterprise Video,写于2019年底, I noted that "enterprise video was often overlooked by an industry focused on changing the way entertainment video is consumed by a global audience."
在某些方面, this oversight was understandable, as most online video platforms (OVPs) were relegated to following the last of the online media entertainment platforms to the cloud. It wasn't that enterprise video wasn't lucrative, but it wasn't lucrative enough to attract scores of OVPs chasing the growth of OTT entertainment platforms. 毕竟, most corporate video in late 2019/early 2020 was used for internal communications, 法规遵从性, 或者培训目的, and most of these videos never made it beyond the confines of the corporate firewall.
在商业, it's often said that confirming growth requires measurements, 统计数据, and a consulting firm to detail what both mean. 流媒体 hosted several surveys in 2021, including "State of Enterprise Video Trends 2021" (registration required) with sponsor OpenExchange, which I'll highlight later in the article. 首先, let's look at several other surveys that have been conducted across the enterprise space over the past year.
Enterprise Video Usage Is Up—Way Up
The growth in enterprise video these days is nothing short of phenomenal. To put it in perspective, 84% of the respondents to Socialive's 2021 "State of Enterprise Video: Creation, Broadcasting & 分布" survey said that their company's video content output increased over the previous year. A quarter of respondents cited a significant increase. The survey had more than 600 enterprise respondents from departments as varied as video services, 市场营销, 人力百家乐软件.
除了, the survey notes that 88% of respondents expect their company's video content output to increase in 2022. And it's not just internal meetings but rather companywide demand that's driving this growth. Nearly 60% of respondents report that 市场营销 teams are using video most often, 其次是销售(39%), 客户成功(36%), 人力百家乐软件 (32%).
Why Do I Feel So Tired (of Online Meetings)?
For all of the growth 统计数据, 虽然, there's the question of whether online meetings are engaging, 有益的, 坦白地说, as we've all complained about "Zoom fatigue"—a healthy way to work.
"Nearly half of professionals working remotely (49%), which translates to 32 million individuals, reported a high degree of exhaustion as a direct result of numerous daily video calls," according to Virtira Consulting's "The Webcam Survey: Exhausted or Engaged?" The survey finds that Zoom fatigue is due to two major factors: increased meeting load and what seems to be the unnecessary pressure to have webcams on for all of the meetings.
辛西娅·沃森, 维蒂拉咨询公司的首席执行官, says there's a disconnect between worker perceptions and management perception: "In my conversations with business leaders throughout the pandemic, the majority said engaging with employees on webcams has increased engagement and productivity. Unfortunately, our study indicates the opposite."
While our internal research at 流媒体 杂志 shows that professionals in the streaming video space prefer to work remotely—and in mid-2021 said that they didn't anticipate going back to the office on a regular basis for more than a year (and, 即使在那时, for many fewer meetings)—Virtira Consulting's survey found that "63% of remote workers are participating in more meetings online than they would have in the office.此外, almost a third of respondents said they spend an average of 2–3 hours on camera during daily meetings.
And yet management seems to miss the point on this, with Watson noting that "the increased time in front of webcams has been compounded by well-meaning employers attempting to raise morale by hosting online happy hours, 披萨派对, 和更多的."
While “Zoom fatigue” became even more of a challenge in 2022, many business leaders say the increase in video meetings has led to increased engagement and productivity.
大卫Moricca, Socialive's founder and CEO, pins part of the blame on videoconferencing tools—whether it be Zoom, 谷歌满足, 微软团队, or any number of startup videoconferencing solutions—as offering a substandard experience when trying to replicate an in-person experience. "93% of enterprises have used standard video conferencing tools for virtual events in the past year,莫里卡说. “然而, nearly half of respondents [to the Socialive survey] (42%) only experienced moderate engagement throughout the event."
有没有更好的办法? 现在我们已经两年了, 和计算, into the work-from-home-more-than-the-office cycle, few are placing bets anymore as to when it will end. Instead, online video companies are pivoting to meet enterprise needs. 例如, 创作, an online video platform primarily focused on education, has seen the growth of enterprise and—at least since its initial public offering in mid-2021—an opportunity to develop into a hybrid meeting solution provider.
Moricca says that organizations have a couple of ways to deal with fatigue: lowering the number of online meetings or increasing the quality of those meetings. The Socialive survey notes that 87% of respondents say "their organizations plan to make changes to decrease the impact of virtual meeting fatigue in the next 12 months," and half of the companies "plan to decrease meeting fatigue by producing higher quality 和更多的 engaging video content to replace certain meetings."

From road warriors to remote-only companies, enterprise video is shifting. It is, to put it mildly, in a state of flux. At the same time, 虽然, so is the state of business. 考虑到这两个事实, the question I'll attempt to answer in this year's State of Enterprise Video is whether these coexistent movements will occur in lockstep or as polar opposites.
