A question often asked: What makes Videosign different from the rest of the eSignature and video conferencing platforms?
The eSignature market is growing rapidly, but not all solutions are created equal.
With the rise of hybrid working, tighter compliance requirements, and increasing pressure to streamline operations, professionals in regulated sectors are searching for tools that go beyond simply collecting signatures. They need secure, end-to-end workflows that are flexible, legally robust, and intuitive – for both teams and clients.
That’s where Videosign is different.
Unlike most eSignature platforms, Videosign brings video meetings and document signing together in one secure, browser-based platform. It’s built not just to digitise your signature process, but to transform how you manage agreements, authenticate signers, and build trust.
Here’s how Videosign addresses the key market trends, drivers, and challenges shaping the future of digital contracting, and why it’s a smarter choice for modern professionals.
📊 Market Trends: What’s Shaping the Future of eSignatures?
✅ Integration with Document Management Systems (DMS)
Modern eSignature tools are expected to integrate with wider systems, from CRMs to cloud storage and practice management platforms. Videosign is designed with this in mind, supporting integrations (including with intelliflo and Xplan in the financial services sector) to ensure signed documents and audit logs are automatically stored where they’re needed most. We’re constantly developing and expanding our integration capabilities to support more platforms and make adoption even easier for a wider range of businesses.
✅ Use of Identity Verification
Videosign partners with a range of identity verification (IDV) providers, giving users multiple options for different levels of verification based on their risk profile or regulatory requirements. We also offer secure video-recorded signing sessions that provide a powerful form of evidential verification, going far beyond a tickbox signature or email trail.
✅ Mobile-Friendly Workflows
Videosign is fully browser-based, with no downloads or software required – making it easy for clients to access and sign documents on the go, whether they’re using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone.
✅ Focus on User Experience
With a newly redesigned dashboard, guided workflows, and intuitive contract templates, Videosign prioritises usability without compromising on functionality. The platform is designed for any client to use with ease and confidence.
🔍 Market Drivers: Why Businesses Are Making the Switch
🔒 Need for Secure and Efficient Document Signing
Security is at the heart of Videosign. Every document signed on the platform includes:
- A tamper-evident audit trail
- Optional ID verification checks
- A recorded video of the signing process, showing intent, consent, and context
It’s ideal for sectors like legal, financial services, and estate planning – where proving not just who signed, but how and why, is essential.
📄 Desire for Paperless Operations
With rising costs, sustainability targets, and client expectations, paperless operations are no longer optional, they’re the standard. Videosign enables entirely digital contract journeys, from creation and review to signing and storing – all without printing a single page.
⚖️ Requirement for Legal Compliance
In the UK, eSignatures are legally recognised under the Electronic Communications Act 2000, and the UK’s retained version of the eIDAS regulation. Videosign signatures meet eIDAS standards, offering a compliant and secure way to sign legally binding documents.
Videosign’s unique combination of video conferencing, digital signing, and full audit logs helps firms demonstrate consent, understanding, and identity – key factors in legal validity.
💼 Growth in Remote Work
With distributed teams and remote clients now the norm, traditional signing processes (or platforms that rely on email back-and-forth) are falling short. Videosign allows professionals to meet, present documents, answer questions, and sign – all in one secure online session.
🔁 Focus on Operational Efficiency
Every minute saved is money saved. With Videosign’s Contract Creator, teams can now build and edit templates directly in the platform – no more switching between Word, PDFs, and third-party editors. The result? Faster turnaround, fewer errors, and a clearer workflow.
⚠️ Market Challenges: Where Other Solutions Fall Short
🌍 Ensuring Legal Validity Across Jurisdictions
While many platforms offer standard eSignatures, they often fail to address context – something that becomes critical in cross-border or high-value transactions. Videosign’s video recordings of the signing process serve as a powerful evidential layer, showing not just that a document was signed, but how the agreement was reached.
🔐 Addressing Security and Data Protection Concerns
Security isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s mandatory. With Videosign, you control access and document visibility, with everything logged and stored securely.
🧑💻 Managing User Authentication
Anyone can click a signature link. But can you prove who they were?
With Videosign, you can:
- Visually confirm identity in a live meeting
- Record the session
- Optionally request ID documents before the signing process
This level of identity assurance is rare, and invaluable in regulated or sensitive contexts.
💷 Controlling Costs
Some platforms charge by the meeting minutes per signature, or add expensive extras for audit trails or video recordings. Videosign offers flexible, transparent pricing – designed to support growing teams without hidden costs.
🎥 What Makes Videosign Truly Different?
Most eSignature platforms focus on just one element: the signature.
Videosign takes a human-centred, compliance-first approach – bringing everything together in one place:
✅ Video conferencing: Meet face-to-face with clients or colleagues
✅ Live signing: Guide people through the process in real time
✅ Digital contracts: Create, edit, and manage templates within the platform
✅ Audit & evidence: Record meetings, verify identity, and store signed documents securely
It’s an all-in-one solution that saves time, builds trust, and ensures legal clarity – especially in regulated, high-stakes environments.
✨ Ready for What’s Next?
The future of document signing isn’t just digital, it’s intelligent, integrated, and secure.
As market trends evolve, Videosign continues to lead the way – building tools that respond to real-world needs, challenges, and workflows.
If your organisation is still juggling multiple platforms for meetings, signing, and document management, it’s time to consider a better way.
