 Viostream.com has implemented oEmbed support. Adding Viostream.com to the
 WordPress whitelist will enable Viostream users to seamlessly embed their
 videos in WordPress.

 Questionnaire responses below:

 == Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of
 it before? Is it “mainstream?”

 Viostream is widely used by Government and enterprise businesses in
 Australia - many of their developers have requested easier WordPress
 integration.

 == If similar services are already supported, how does this service
 compare in terms of size, features, and backing?

 Viostream does have a smaller market share than competitors such as
 Vidyard, however the feature set is particularly geared towards enterprise
 and Government, particularly around security aspects of the platform.

 == Does this service have an established social media presence?

 Yes - see https://www.facebook.com/viostreamhq/ and
 https://www.linkedin.com/company/viostream

 == Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented?
 (Sometimes, they are just a developer’s pet project that may not be
 supported.)

 Yes - see https://help.viostream.com/sharing-your-media/embedding-with-
 oembed-tags/

 == Does the oEmbed endpoint work with WordPress’ oEmbed auto-discovery? If
 not, could it be made to work with additional HTML tags or attributes
 being added to the allow-list?

 Yes, discovery has been implemented.

 == Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers,
 such as through robust APIs?

 Yes, Viostream provides a RESTful API for video management as well as a
 player API for presentation integrations.

 == How old is the service?

 Viostream as a business has been operating for over 20 years. The current
 Viostream service has been operating for over 10 years.

 == Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)

 No.

 == Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in
 some way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode,
 or leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any
 noticeable adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?

 No

 == Is the provider frequently proposed?

 Yes - both existing and prospective customers have requested this
 functionality.
