Evercast launches Presenter plugin for 4K video sharing via Zoom

This launch represents a shift from general-purpose conferencing tools to specialized B2B plugins that fix critical infrastructure gaps in remote creative workflows. By separating media streaming from standard webcam encoding, Evercast allows production houses to maintain visual fidelity without migrating teams to entirely new collaboration platforms. This move pressures legacy providers like Zoom to either improve native media handling or increasingly rely on third-party middleware to satisfy high-end professional requirements. Watch for adoption rates among mid-tier agencies as a signal for whether premium streaming plugins become a standard operational expense.

The launch of Evercast Presenter comes as the professional video conferencing market is expected to reach $12 billion in 2026, per Digital Samba (March 2026). While standard platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom have dominated the hybrid work era, creative professionals have frequently reported 'artificial' lag and resolution downscaling caused by hardware acceleration issues and memory leaks in recent macOS versions, according to Zoom community feedback (March 2026). This has created a significant market opportunity for 'agentic' technology and specialized plugins that automate performance optimization rather than requiring manual workarounds like NDI or secondary computers.

Evercast has established itself as a primary provider for pre-release content, becoming the first application to achieve the TPN Gold Plus security standard, according to an NAB Show 2025 interview (April 2025). The company's recent expansion into the 'Evercast Suites' included forensic watermarking via Nagra and direct transit protocol integrations for Adobe Premiere Pro and Avid Media Composer. This enterprise-grade focus is increasingly relevant as 42% of companies now plan to deploy advanced meeting assistants or specialized collaboration tools within the next year, according to a recent Metrigy study (March 2026).

Other industry players are also pivoting toward high-fidelity remote collaboration. For instance, companies like Streambox and Red5 have recently showcased low-latency cloud production workflows at NAB 2025 and 2026, aimed at moving the industry beyond WebRTC toward newer protocols like Media over QUIC (MoQ). As expectations for 4K video quality and immersive meeting experiences become the professional standard, the technical burden on end-user hardware continues to grow, driving a shift toward unoptimized software solutions that can handle studio-level bitrates without dropping frames during live reviews.
