Smilebox partners with Vonage to Introduce Video Conferencing Integrated with Online Invitations to Help Face Social Distancing Forced by Covid-19. Smilebox Provides Online Cards, Invitations, and Slideshows Direct to Consumers at Smilebox.com.
A large part of Smilebox’s business is invitations. When the coronavirus hit, accompanied by social distancing measures, company leadership realized that their users were suddenly stuck at home, unable to meet friends and family, forced to cancel planned events and prevented from celebrating holidays and special occasions. The Smilebox team decided to put their technical expertise to good use, in order to help hundreds of thousands of people out.
Powered by the Vonage Video API, Smilebox LIVE requires virtually zero effort by the user. When one creates an online invitation using one of Smilebox’s beautiful designs, a Smilebox LIVE virtual event is automatically generated.

The video event is embedded in the invitation itself – no need for codes, numbers or downloads. Smilebox’s development team created a cutting-edge solution working with the Vonage Video API and WebRTC technology (real-time communication for the web).

“People are on lockdown at home but want to continue celebrating birthdays, weddings and holidays. Smilebox LIVE is the first social virtual meeting platform that doesn’t only focus on top quality video streaming but also the human touch by designing a personalized invitation and super easy to use interface. After all – our motto is Any Card You Can Think Of, so we developed a card that turns into a virtual event,” said Dan Mano, General Manager of Smilebox.
