Vyond

Vyond (formerly known as GoAnimate until 2018; stylized as Go!Animate until 2013) is an American cloud-based animated video creation platform created by Alvin Hung in 2007 and developed by the San Mateo, California-based GoAnimate, Inc.
The service was provided on a freemium basis to consumers and has multiple subscription levels available for businesses. Vyond provided users with drag-and-drop tools that the company's website indicates could be used to access thousands of character models, backdrops, and other assets to create scenario-based videos. The platform offers text-to-speech character voices with customizable environments, especially those inherited from Oddcast's platform such as Vocalware.
It is one of the most popular online platform and is used for topics such as education, entertainment, and so on. It was described as "the leading software for individuals, organizations and educational users to develop and disseminate animated video".

Vyond provides a library of tens of thousands of pre-animated assets, which can be controlled through a simple drag & drop interface. Asset types include characters, actions, templates, props, text boxes, music tracks, and sound effects. Users can also upload their own assets, such as audio files, image files or video files.
There is also a drag & drop composition tool, which users can employ to create pans and zooms.
Spoken dialogue and narration can be recorded directly into the platform or imported as an audio file. Characters can automatically lip-sync dialogue that is assigned to them. Alternatively, audio can be set as voiceover narration. Users can download their finished videos as MP4 files, GIFs or video presentations. They can also export them directly to a variety of video-hosting sites, mostly YouTube.
A version for schools was also available, called GoAnimate for Schools. It was shut down on June 30, 2019 after Adobe Flash Player had retired.
Vyond also provides Vyond Go, an artificial intelligence based feature that automatically generates videos from prompts by users.
