Shindig
Virtual and hybrid events with 'work the room' video chat networking.
Shindig is a browser-based virtual and hybrid events platform for video conferences, webinars, classes, and large-scale events. It addresses the limited interaction of conventional video meetings by letting attendees move between private video conversations of their own accord while still seeing and hearing the main stage presentation.
Core capabilities include Work the Room networking with private group chats, a Virtual Lobby, a Virtual Backstage green room for preparing speakers, an Open Podium for first-come, first-served audience contributions, and spotlight stage sharing. Production tools cover HD pre-recorded video playback, screen sharing, polling, recordings, and simul-streaming to Facebook Live and YouTube Live. Multi-session and hybrid event support, trade show booths, VIP suites, attendee directories, registration pages, RSVP reminders, ticketing, analytics, SSO, and APIs are also available, with iOS and Android apps alongside the browser experience.
Shindig serves event organizers, enterprises running webinars and workforce sessions, educators, and media or fan-engagement teams. Pricing is organized into Free, Starter, Introductory, and Advanced plans, with monthly or annual billing and admin seats scaling from one to unlimited. Participant caps, event length, and video quality vary by plan, and individual events or conferences can be quoted separately.
