Case Study: Showbie (Canadian remote learning platform) achieves rapid, secure virtual learning integration with Whereby (video conferencing provider)

Schools Move to Virtual Learning

Showbie, the Canadian remote‑learning platform used by hundreds of thousands of teachers and students, faced the urgent challenge of adding reliable video conferencing to support remote lessons and one‑on‑one feedback during COVID‑19. Building a native solution would have taken an estimated five years, so Showbie integrated Whereby via Whereby’s API to quickly add embedded video to its apps and website.

Whereby provided a fast, secure integration—offering GDPR‑compliant, end‑to‑end encrypted video, a customer‑friendly privacy policy, one‑click class and one‑on‑one meetings, and push notifications—allowing Showbie to deploy virtual classrooms immediately. The result: Showbie avoided a multi‑year build, maintained a classroom feel for remote learners, and reliably supported hundreds of thousands of users with secure video powered by Whereby.
