Captioning has become more accurate and interactive video questions are improving student engagement
I think Kaltura could be improved by providing clearer instructions or tools to record for the average person who has no idea what technology is. It is pretty intuitive if you work in that field daily, but it can be confusing if it is foreign to you. I rate Kaltura an eight because while it does a lot, it is not 100% perfect. There are certainly areas for improvement, such as with the hotspots or better integration into an LMS through LTI. I appreciate the tool but believe it could be better, which is why I don't rate it a ten, as I feel continuous improvement is a goal.

Reliable streaming has supported high-quality live casino tables for demanding B2B clients
The best feature Wowza Streaming Cloud offers is reliable live casino games streaming. The reliability of Wowza Streaming Cloud stands out to me because over nine months, Wowza-related issues were minimal—only two or three in that entire period, which demonstrates solid reliability. Wowza Streaming Cloud has positively impacted my organization by delivering high-quality content for games such as Blackjack, Roulette, and Baccarat tables. The high-quality content has benefited my organization through feedback from customers and providers who purchase games from our B2B gaming company. They provide positive feedback and do not complain about stream quality.
