TouchCast Studio: Video Apps (vApps) Overview

"vApps", short for Video Apps, are on-screen elements that look and feel like television graphics. These apps range from document sharing to video platforms that are all user interactive and will update in real-time from inside the video in order to not interrupt the video playback. vApps allow for a seamless viewer experience, engaging and inviting the viewer to interact with the material that is being presented to them.


The main vApps that are most widely used in TouchCast Studio include (but are not limited to):

  • Web sites
  • Videos
  • Images
  • Files


The Record screen includes the vApps option as highlighted below.
