To become the leading global platform for video-based knowledge dissemination, fostering a vibrant community of presenters who can easily share their expertise, ideas, and stories with audiences worldwide, irrespective of technical skill level or device constraints.

Rationale

With the rapid adoption of digital technologies and the growing demand for online learning and remote collaboration, there is a pressing need for intuitive and accessible video presentation tools.
