About Wistia
Wistia is finishing the webinar product it started, one manual step at a time
Webinars dominate the recent work: branded confirmation, reminder and follow-up emails, a clearer overview page showing who holds manage access, and automatic notification of registrants when a webinar's date, time, timezone or destination changes. Alongside that runs a branding thread — video page background colors, logo and font control — and an integration thread covering SCIM provisioning through Okta and a Last Video Viewed Date field for Pardot scoring. Feed entries arrive as short teasers, so scope beyond the headline is often not readable.
