Vuz will launch special social channels for MBC Group on its platform.
MBC Group has partnered with Vuz, an immersive social app that allows users to stream in the metaverse and extended reality, to expand its video library and XR experience.
The new partnership, which is set to grow Vuz’s reach significantly, will see the social app feature across MBC Group’s various channels across the region, including satellite TV, radio, MBC social, and Shahid. Key content will be featured and will include primetime and top entertainment shows in key markets.
Through the partnership, Vuz aims to “bring in the best content to integrate within our immersive social app,” while embracing the latest media trends, said Khaled Zaatarah, founder of Vuz.
He added: “Our goal is to provide our users with the most beloved content and the best immersive experiences.
The partnership will see the Vuz app featured across MBC Group’s media assets in the region including satellite TV, radio, social media and streaming platform Shahid. Key content from the app will also be featured in certain markets.”
Additionally, Vuz will launch special social channels for MBC on its platform.
