Hello Hunters! We are thrilled to launch our new collaboration features on Creately today 🎉 🎉 🎉 . We added a new layer of real-time collaboration to allow teams to sync faster and introduced in-app video conferencing. Many online meetings involve a common document or a screen-share, but the current experience is disjointed with your video conferencing app elsewhere along with a screen share and the shared document itself. We designed Creately’s new features to make feel teams closer during online meetings. Sitting next to each other and looking at a common screen is the target experience tried to reach. So we added these key capabilities (with a few more things in the background) ✅. Real-time mouse tracking 👩‍💻. Real-time preview syncing - we transmit changes as they happen so you feel like you are almost watching the other persons screen. 📹. Video conferencing inside the document - it’s easier, and keeps everyone sync’ed around the context Along with this, we have an infinite canvas, 1000’s of templates and shapes so teams can communicate visually even if they hate drawing things out. We want to help more teams feel closer and have higher-bandwidth collaboration, especially during these strained times. Visual communication helps a lot and we think video collaboration and super fast syncing amplify the connections further. We are really excited for you to try it out and hear the feedback. Do let us know what you think!

Real easy and versatile tool. drag and drop so anyone can get in on the act very fast - at the same time. You must check out the cool new video conferencing capabilities of the platform. I recommend Creately as a must have tool for teams working remotely.

Is it something like RealtimeBoard 2.0 (Miro since 2019) ? An interactive whiteboard?
Chandika Jayasundara
@doomhammer Almost yes. Creately can do the same as well. Our roots are in diagramming with support for various kinds of visuals. Most users struggle to explain their ideas visually and Creately's forte is our support for tons of diagram and visual types along with examples so anyone can get their ideas out visually.

@chandika So real-time diagramming instead of real-time doodling?
Heshantha Fernando
Simply amazing product. Helped me always to create superb diagrams easily. Love the new real-time collaboration and video conferencing features! Keep it up Creately!

I used Creately to visualize process flows and concept maps, which really help me see the big picture and find gaps. Instant feedback by comments and conference call feature help work efficiently.

I have an immediate business need for this product and it looks fantastic. My only concern is it has been built with Visio as a competitor rather than better products like iGraphx. Can you clarify whether Creately Server is still available? Does it share the same collaboration features as your online version? Also do you have the ability to export or integrate the data behind your graphics into other tools beyond simple image formats? Can you also clarify what the Zapier integration might allow you to do? What actions it might make possible?
Chandika Jayasundara
@tombielecki We are no longer offering the Creately Server as a standalone product, but we do offer an enterprise plan that has most of what orgs usually require. Do you have a specific reason to look for self hosting? Data exports: Our API allows for you to take data out, using a graphql endpoint, you can get an access key by emailing us on dev@creately.com On Data imports to shapes: this is on our near term roadmap, we'll announce it when ready. The Zapier integration is also tightly bound to the data integration allowing triggers to create new shapes and update visualizations based on external app events and data. If you can connect with our team via support@creately.com we can take this forward and figure out how we can help!

@hellohamisi Thanks, we sure hope it helps!

I recommend this product. Creately is the most intuitive visual collaboration and diagramming tool online. I have tried many tools but only Creately has given me satisfaction for diagramming.
Chandika Jayasundara
@mahdhi Thanks for the kind words!
Valerie Fenske
Congrats on the launch! How secure are the calls data?
Chandika Jayasundara
@valeryfenskaya we use hop to hop encryption on the video/audio streams. the stream is decrypted on the server before being passed onto the other participants again encrypted, we do not record any streams. We are looking to move to complete end to end encryption on the streams shortly as well.
