A transparent view of government workings is a cornerstone of efficient and responsive state and local entities. Many states, municipalities, and boards of education post videos of important meetings and hearings on the web. This strengthens the relationship with constituents and provides a way for them to stay connected with government decisions that affect them.

Unfortunately for constituents, videos of these events can be hours long and cover dozens of topics, making for a less than desirable viewing experience, especially for those looking for a particular topic. And governments find that the systems they use to put video onto the Web are costly, slow, and often require the skills of a specialized programmer.

With Veotag, governments can make their web videos more informative and convenient for their constituents, and therefore more useful, and post them in hours, not weeks. With little expense and effort, and no special training or equipment, governments can quickly create and display tables of contents alongside their web videos. Constituents can easily read what’s inside the videos, and click directly to the parts that interest them most (see example).

Veotag boosts government’s efforts to help constituents see the work it is doing on their behalf.
