**What is TechHub?**
[TechHub](http://techhub.com/) is a new and exciting project to create a physical space for tech startups in London which reaches out and embraces entrepreneurs across the UK, and the USA. It aims to be affordable, accessible, but at the same time create the right atmosphere and bring together the right people – the people who really do want to “change the world”.
**When Does It Launch?**
Soon they say, and so to give the project our support vzaar joined in with the current “[One Minute Why-I-Want-TechHub competition](http://techhub.com/?q=node/22)”. Watch our entry below.




**Oh by the way!**
Given that this is a video competition and…well…we like video, we are happy to extend our service to any business out there that is looking for a easy to use, professional video solution for their website. [Drop us a line](http://vzaar.com/contact) and we’ll give you a free trial of the service. Happy to chat.

Just a quick note to say thanks for your help in setting up my account and the speedy, friendly service you gave over the phone. I suggest its worth pushing to the front of your marketing as a USP as most video sites don’t even have a phone number, and I was pleasantly surprised when the phone was answered quickly and my payment problem was sorted straight away, and my technical questions answered with enthusiasm!

We are kicking the year off in style and as they say starting as we mean to go on.
Flowplayer have some really awesome players with plugins that enable you to do just about anything from creating [playlist](http://flowplayer.org/plugins/javascript/playlist.html), to serving [in stream ads ](http://flowplayer.org/plugins/advertising/openx.html)and [analytics tools](http://flowplayer.org/plugins/flash/analytics.html) to monitor your videos performance. These are all available to Flowplayer users and with this integration this is also available to all vzaar users too. To access the Flowplayer plugins you will have to use their player. For a full list of the Flowplayer plugins go [here:](http://flowplayer.org/plugins/index.html)
Here is an example of the Flowplayer being powered by vzaar.
Flowplayer - Flash Video Player for the Web
The partnership with Flowplayer solves two potential problems:
1. If you are a vzaar user and require a feature that we don’t currently offer but Flowplayer does then problem solved.
2. If you are a Flowplayer user and require a video platform to provide the encoding, content delivery then again problem solved.
For help on how to integrate vzaar video with Flowplayer go to the Knowledge Base Flowplayer Integration page [here](http://help.vzaar.com/faqs/video-and-technical-questions/flowplayer-support)
We would also like to say that it has been an absolute pleasure working with Annsi and Tero at Flowplayer and we are really happy with this partnership. Thanks for making this possible.
