Viewplicity is a turnkey, video conferencing service – first and foremost.  The Viewplicity Collaboration Service is a web “SaaS” (Software as a Service) concept, with the goal of minimizing the things  a web site designer has to worry about in order to leverage this service for his users.

Most of Viewplicity’s functionality is wrapped into four component containers that will create a visual experience on your page for each of the following:

• Group membership control
• Video player control
• Video archive control
• Text messaging

There are three main ways of embedding the services of Viewplicity on a web site in the current offering.

• Use can embed one tag in your page and reference a Viewplicity server script – it will take care of everything required. All of the containers will be displayed in a small grid within the tag, plus a toolbar that is used for overall control
• If you need to spread the containers out on your page, you can directly embed simple “div” tags (one for each container) and place them anywhere you want, sized for any reasonable size you choose
• Lastly, you can eliminate the need to do code any div tags, if you use one  of the popular frameworks  including Joomla, Wordpress, and Drupal. We have some simple plugins for each that will help with the basic placement of the containers on your page.

So, the short story is that Viewplicity is a service that supports enhancing simple web sites with live video conferencing, video recording and archiving, as well as text messages for user created groups. It offers several means to connect to that service, including simple plugins for some of the popular frameworks or direct placement of tags in your page – we have simple documentation to support either approach.

Demo sites using the framework plugins have been constructed using basic, off-the-shelf templates with little requirement of additional plugins.
