Each new year is a new opportunity to change, grow, and imagine new possibilities for ourselves. As the first quarter of 2023 ends, it’s a good time to reflect on the opening chapter of the year. In Vonage, we’re proud to look back at Q1 and see we’ve realized quite a few of our resolutions. Whether imagining new products or reimagining products by adding new opportunities, we’ve opened the year by opening doors for our developers with new programmable possibilities.
Creating robust software is our passion. But powerful software requires an equally enjoyable user experience to generate adoption. We’re excited to debut Silent Authentication this quarter.
Users expect your software to be safe and secure. But they don’t want to jump through a million hoops like filling out a One-time password (OTP) or installing Authenticator Applications to ensure their identity. Thankfully, there’s a new paradigm in security: Silent Authentication.
Our goal at Vonage is to empower our developers to delight their end users. Our Messages API and Video API recently debuted some new capabilities that provide even more flexibility and security. Try them out and build something delightful!
Millions of users love WhatsApp for its rich features. Way beyond simple text messaging, users can send multimedia messages, fun button replies, list messages, locations, and so much more.
One of the most significant advances for businesses is the launch of Product Messages. This new message type allows a company to showcase products and services, and customers can browse and add products to a cart without leaving the WhatsApp conversation.
Developers usually focus on the video component of video calls. But why? There are many interesting applications to improve the video call experience when you can access and transmit the audio. Our Audio Connector does just that! It lets you send raw audio streams from a Vonage Video session, via your own WebSocket server, to external services for further processing. Some use cases are transcription, translation, content moderation, and more!
With WhatsApp Messages, users can send a lot more than just text. But what if those photo or video messages contain some sensitive information? You better be sure they are secure. You can by clicking one button in your developer dashboard and generating a JWT!
If you have questions or feedback, join us on the Vonage Developer Slack or send us a Tweet on Twitter, and we will get back to you!
