CyberLink Launches U - a Unified Web Communication App for Online Meetings, Presentations and Instant Messaging


CyberLink Corp. (5203.TW), today announced the official launch of U, a new solution for Windows, Mac and mobile devices that substantially simplifies and streamlines online business meetings, webinar presentations and instant messaging for business.

U is designed to replace dated web conferencing systems that are difficult to use and offer poor call quality and reliability, all of which can result in loss of business. CyberLink's patented video technology enables lag-free HD video meetings with an incidence rate for dropped calls close to zero. With a design focused on minimalist simplicity, there is virtually no learning curve. New users can operate the intuitive interface from the outset.

"Video meetings and presentations are increasingly important to business communication, yet for most people, existing tools are frustratingly difficult to use, and often unreliable," said Dr. Jau Huang, CEO of CyberLink. "U not only offers video and call quality unheard of in this space, but we've made it as simple and engaging as the apps people use every day to connect with friends. U is social media for business."

The solution is built around three modules. U Messenger offers a fresh take on instant team collaboration with features such as easy file sharing, polling and forums, and even engaging stickers to build team spirit. U Meeting might well be the simplest and most efficient tool to start video meetings on time and without technical challenges. U Webinar offers unique tools to help presenters organize and edit content, repurpose previous presentations, and deliver strong broadcasts live or from previously recorded content. U also ncorporates PerfectCam - the world's first live virtual makeup plugin for conferencing systems.
