Gamezop: A multi-game platform that helps increase engagement and drive revenues

0

It is a business’s responsibility to engage potential buyers. There isn’t a simpler way of saying this. Jeff Bezos rightly says that a customer is like a guest invited to a party: one can’t expect one’s guests to engage themselves; good hosts engage their guests better than average hosts and earn a reputation. Earning a reputation is nothing but building a brand.

At the risk of stating the obvious, being on the customer’s smartphone as an app is the closest a business can be to the customer. Once a business gains that coveted spot on the smartphone, the battle for keeping the spot begins. This is where adding engaging games that work within apps can do wonders.

Why are so many non-gaming apps adding games?

Statistics for user retention on apps are brutal. Across all categories of apps, users are spoilt for choice, and if you are an app developer it is imperative that you make your offering sticky. Building stickiness, however, is easier said than done. User-friendly onboarding, strong value proposition, sleak interface, and heavy-duty performance are necessary but insufficient conditions. Users want more. To fill this gap, a lot of apps undertake massive burns, offering heavy discounts or cashbacks to users. These practices often turn out to be unsustainable and fail to build loyalty.

This is the reason why innovative apps are increasing their functionalities to serve more number of use cases for their target audiences. WeChat and GoJek are great examples of such “super apps” with a host of functionalities. Closer to home, the only thing in common between the apps of Amazon, MX Player, ixigo, Meesho, and PhonePe is a section for games. These games are built on HTML5 and launch within these apps, just like videos work on a social media scroll. Not just them but thousands of popular apps around the world are adding HTML5 games to increase retention and revenue.

How much time does it take to add games? Is there any visible difference?

HTML5 games are unique in three ways: they work within apps, they don’t increase the size of the app, and they work offline. Quality HTML5 games within an app can increase time spent by 15-40% from the first day. This is where Gamezop can help. Gamezop has worked on easing the process of integrating HTML5 games within apps for almost five years and has over 2,000 partner apps. Integrating Gamezop on an app is a 30-minute process and. Every month over 40 million users visit Gamezop through its partner apps.

Each partnering app creates a section for games, tapping which launches Gamezop webpage within the app. While on Gamezop, users can play over 270 globally popular games instantly.

What are the commercials? Does Gamezop charge anything?

Gamezop doesn’t charge apps anything. In fact, it pays them a recurring monthly fee for this integration. Gamezop monetizes with high-paying video ads within its games (eCPM is as high as $3 in India!) and shares 50% of the revenue with partner apps. Most of Gamezop’s partner apps earn several lakh rupees every month from this revenue-sharing model.

Key takeaways:

  • As an app developer, one see brutal uninstall rates
  • In addition to a strong value proposition, apps need to offer something extra
  • In-app games developed on HTML5 work really well to build stickiness
  • Gamezop provides high-quality HTML5 games to over 2,000 popular apps globally
  • Gamezop also pays a monthly fee to apps for this integration

Logitech is raising the bar for the Video Conferencing Industry

0

Logitech today is raising the bar on the video conferencing industry with a next generation portfolio of appliance and PC-based solutions that work with today’s leading video conferencing services such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

The new Logitech Rally Bar, purpose-built for mid-sized rooms, and Logitech Rally Bar Mini for small rooms, transform meetings with cinema-quality video and crisp, clear audio in an all-in-one design. Rounding out large meeting rooms, the new Logitech RoomMate is a computing appliance that allows customers to run video conferencing services on Logitech conference cams like Rally Plus without a PC or Mac. Now, you can dramatically simplify setup, management, and use of video conferencing equipment for radically better meetings in today’s hybrid and rapidly evolving work environments.

Scott Wharton, general manager and vice president, Logitech Video Collaboration said, “We’ve always methodically focused on what customers want, and that’s products with premium quality at a reasonable price. From ease of use and manageability, to bringing scale to businesses, we want to make products bigger and better, while reducing complexity. Our goal is to put video in every meeting space in the world. In order to do that, we need to make it easy, simple and cost-effective, which is what we believe we’ve achieved with this new portfolio of products.”

As video conferencing continues to become an integral part of every business, Logitech’s latest portfolio sets a new precedent for truly flexible room solutions. You can run supported video conferencing applications natively on Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini, like Microsoft Teams and Zoom, or connect them via USB to virtually any room PC or Mac. You can even BYOD (bring your own device), which allows you to plug in your laptop and run your chosen video service. Logitech’s new portfolio will also support other popular video conferencing services such as GoTo, Pexip and RingCentral.

From a second camera on the video bars dedicated to AI and room analytics, to extensible audio coverage with Rally Mic Pods, businesses now have scalable solutions that are both incredibly versatile and simple to use. With Logitech’s next generation portfolio, organizations can now ensure that every meeting room, no matter the size or deployment model, can keep every employee, including those tuning in remotely, connected without missing a beat.

Tomer Mekhty, vice president, global IT operations, ServiceNow said, “Our team has had the opportunity to use Logitech Rally Bar, and we were impressed with its performance. From the improved video and audio performance to the quick and easy install, Rally Bar is an ideal solution for our modern, connected meeting rooms.”

Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini particularly shine when it comes to performance and include these noteworthy features:

Brilliant optics at resolutions up to 4K: Feel like you’re meeting in person, but from anywhere, with smooth motorized pan and tilt in a video bar form factor and razor sharp optics up to 4K. Rally Bar boasts lossless image quality up to 5X optical zoom, which will be digitally enhanced up to 15X total zoom.

Every voice is heard clearly: Thanks to advanced audio engineering, both video bars feature ultra low distortion speakers delivering crystal clear, room-filling sound to every corner of the room. An adaptive beamforming mic array picks up voices at every seat with outstanding conversational clarity, focusing on the active talker and auto-leveling louder and softer voices while suppressing unwanted noise. Plus, a patented anti-vibration suspension system minimizes speaker vibrations that can travel through walls, stands, and tables so you can hear and be heard with outstanding clarity.

Stunning design: Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini feature sleek, rounded edges for an elegant, minimalistic look. Featuring recycled polyester fabric on the speakers, both video bars are available in Graphite or White to seamlessly complement the aesthetic of modern conference rooms.

Super smart with built in AI: Both video bars come equipped with Logitech RightSense technology and AI Viewfinder, a second camera dedicated to computer vision. The camera detects human figures and processes where they are in real-time, enhancing the precision of Logitech RightSight auto-framing and camera control so meeting participants are always in focus, whether they are late joining or moving about.

Incredibly simple to set up, manage and monitor: Beyond versatile, all-in-one design, Rally Bar and Rally Bar Mini come with exceptional cable management and flexible mounting options that ensure easy, confident installs with minimal footprint. Setup takes minutes out of the box and you can easily monitor and manage the video bars from one single platform using Logitech Sync or your preferred device management dashboard. Plus, get insights into how your conference rooms are being used with metrics like people count, especially important for room occupancy limits in the hybrid workplace.
