History
The company, headquartered in Bethlehem, PA, was founded in November 2005 by Robert Sandie and Donna DeMarco (Vice President). Viddler was created by a team of developers, designers and architects from companies such as RackSpace, IBM and Macromedia. Viddler.com launched in December 2006 with in-line commenting and tagging features.
Viddler no longer provides a free service for non-commercial users. In 2010, Viddler began focusing less on video enthusiasts and self-generated content hosting, and more on business verticals, including corporate communication and training, education, and publishing. Following a 2011 decision to discontinue new personal accounts, Viddler recently announced it was going to close those legacy accounts, giving users the option of opening a paid account or downloading their existing videos.
In 2013, Viddler was issued a patent "for displaying a video and an overlay or tag" as used by video asset administrators and viewers.
In January of 2017, Viddler initiated a soft launch of its sales training product in collaboration with Michael St. Lawrence.
Features
Viddler provides solutions for sales training. The company uses its media player to display video and other media elements, and to provide user interaction, including the ability to post timed comments directly in a video. Customers can use a webcam to record a video practice session related to course content.
Video practice sessions are evaluated by the customer, the customer's employer, or a sales industry expert. Customers have the option to browse and self-select training courses or to be matched with training courses.
Practice videos can be published on secure business or education websites using an admin-controlled embedding feature.
