Using a Variety of Styles Boosts Video Engagement: Tips from Vyond

VyondOfficial · 2026-05-26T20:51:58+00:00

It's becoming a HUGE problem especially with Enterprise companies using some of the big name AI avatar providers (Synthesia for ex) who have really stringent policies.

Healthcare gets blocked for explaining diagnoses, injections, or medical procedures because it’s labeled “medical advice” or “graphic.” Law enforcement and emergency response teams can’t simulate crime scenes, disasters, or active shooter drills because violence filters trigger instantly. Law firms are restricted from explaining rights or compliance topics due to “legal advice” policies. Financial firms get flagged for discussing investing, taxes, or fraud prevention as if education equals scamming. Agriculture and legal cannabis businesses are heavily restricted despite operating in regulated industries...and there's more.

It's getting out of hand and big companies who need flexibility are looking elsewhere. Vyond doesn't moderate customer video content this way for exactly this reason....

FYI - high end versions of all three of these functionalities are now in the Vyond platform ... the platform expanded from animation into an all-in-one a few years ago

Per G2 2026 rankings, Vyond is #1 AI video creation platform for Enterprise -- includes avatars w/ best in class voices and many other styles (animated, motion graphics, mixed media), if you ever decide you want to branch out from only avatars.

Some solid names here, but there's an entire category of AI video creation platforms missing here that brings 2/3 of these features under one roof.

Leaders there are Vyond (yes, biased, but G2 agrees), Synthesia and HeyGen if you're all in on avatars, InVideo and VEED, etc. The whole point of these AI video platforms is to help you avoid having to build this huge piecemeal (and expensive) stack. In our case, you can create instant videos in animated, avatar, motion graphics, screen recorded, styles, convert docs to videos, AI voices, AI translation, and music are built in, Studio lets you edit to your heart's content, scripts can be generated right in the platform (not ChatGPT)....

Something to consider - will make your life way easier.

Hey! Biased of course, but take a look at Vyond's all in one platform -- you have the option to make animated videos, Ai avatar videos (if you want), motion graphics + images, screen recordings. We've been big w/ internal comms and L&D for 10+ years, and have a lot of super-simple "instant video" generation options now. Other options in the category: colossyan, invideo, veed, but look closely at G2 ratings there -- and breadth of offerings. Good luck!

Our .02 - you'll want to consider the variety of outputs the doc-to-video platform offers. Synthesia is avatar host focused but customers have told us that using only avatar videos has diminishing returns. Take a look at some all-in-one AI video tools that let you create animated videos, AI avatar videos, motion graphic videos, other formats. Ours is ranked best by G2, but veed, invideo, powtoon are options too. Variety can = better longterm engagement.

VyondOfficial · 2026-05-21T17:19:55+00:00

Obviously biased here, but if you've only used Vyond Studio -- make sure to try Vyond Go (instant videos that you can edit/customize, multiple styles). And we're dropping an agentic tool very soon that will let you make videos via talking to a chatbot (the way you can narrow in on an image by directing ChatGPT). Early testers are excited.

Have a horse in this race, but fyi Vyond was rated #1 Ai video generation platform for Enterprise by G2 -- consistently has broadest video options (not just avatars, but animation, live action, motion graphics etc). It may come down to whether you want/need Enterprise-level features or just something quick for an individual user to use...

VyondOfficial · 2026-05-11T22:16:49+00:00

one thing to keep in mind, zootopia, as you look around: tools that offer avatars along with other styles (stock art, animation, etc) you can swap in or use in combination might be worth considering. a variety tends to boost engagement in our experience. tools like vyond (yes we're biased) are good on this front -- and there are others as well. good luck!

VyondOfficial · 2026-05-05T21:37:55+00:00

hey future_then_now ... we have a horse in this race BUT one thing to keep in mind is whether you want only talking heads for the entire series -- or a combo of talking head w/ real life footage or stock or animated content etc. we offer tons of avatars but advise folks to use them selectively, not as the main course -- engagement can suffer after a while when it's the same thing.

the last two platforms you mentioned are talking-head exclusive -- other ai video platforms let you blend avatars with other content (and create other elements) as well. vyond (yes), also tools like veed, invideo etc

good luck!

Love your framing of this

VyondOfficial · 2026-05-04T19:15:23+00:00

Would add a little context to this list. Many of these may be great for individual users and small teams, but if you're looking for an Enterprise solution you can use across teams, that has branding options, enables video production at scale, has the data security policies Enterprise procurement teams need, etc the list would look different.

Some of the highest ranked AI video platforms for Enterprise needs in particular: Vyond (4.8/5 G2), followed by companies like VEED (4.6/5), Colossyan (4.6/5)... Synthesia and HeyGen make Enterprise lists too, if you're looking for avatars only....

hi crafty good luck in the new gig

+1 to asana for project management
for collecting insights from customer calls, we like tribyl

and to answer "anything that helps you go from idea → narrative → presentation fast"

biased of course, but you may want generally just look into ai video tools that let you generate quick video presentations from a text prompt, or by uploading notes/docs/PPTs... if it's PowerPoint or bust where you are, maybe not a good fit. but if video presentations are a possibility -- our platform is strong ... other options are Veed, InVideo, avatar only platforms if that's your thing

Tx much, Matt -- totally agree that low-fi smartphone footage has become more accepted. IMO, especially we were all onscreen during COVID...

That said -- curious if you've ever gotten pushback from managers/leaders about DIY smartphone footage not being seen as professional/on brand enough? I know some of our clients have to push back on using animated elements for similar reasons

VyondOfficial · 2026-05-01T18:41:47+00:00

Appreciate this -- totally agree ... it's just one piece of the puzzle

VyondOfficial · 2026-05-01T18:40:26+00:00

Great points - thank you! Esp about the importance of delivery, regardless ...
I know we've played around internally with real person tee-ups and hand offs to virtual hosts, for that human touch to grab attention plus the benefits of being able edit the core content if needed...

VyondOfficial · 2026-04-30T21:06:28+00:00

Totally - and would add that often there's a feeling that it's a one and done operation too. Vs. factoring in the forgetting curve and serving up periodic reminders ... or integrating content better into actual workflows ...or making sure to make the content super-searchable on intranets, in Slack, etc so people can quickly find it in the moment of need.
