We’re excited to unveil the enhanced Octopus Web Client — a powerful browser-based experience designed to keep modern newsrooms connected, creative, and in control. Whether you’re in the control room, reporting from the field, or editing scripts from your living room table, the Web Client delivers the essential Octopus functionality you rely on – right from your browser. No installations. No limits.

It’s a real-time collaboration, redefined. The Octopus Web Client enables multi-user script editing, allowing teams to collaborate on rundowns and stories in real time. Everyone stays aligned, and updates are instantly reflected across the system. Built-in real-time notifications ensure that script changes, timing adjustments, and last-minute edits are seen the moment they happen,  keeping everyone in sync when seconds matter.

True Remote News Production

Today’s newsrooms don’t sit still. The Octopus Web Client is built for anywhere-anytime access, giving journalists and producers full editorial control wherever they are. Whether you’re covering elections on the road or working from home, the Web Client empowers teams with:

  • On-the-go access from any browser

  • Cross-platform compatibility across devices and operating systems

  • A secure, responsive connection to your newsroom backend

Smarter Approvals, Now Even Better Publishing

The Web Client also offers a collaborative approval process, enabling structured review processes without breaking your rhythm. Editors can greenlight stories, suggest changes, and track progress — all within the same unified interface.

Script Writing Made Simple

Our Single Page Script view sets your storytelling in motion, presenting all the elements of your story in one intuitive screen. Pair this with our clean, modern user interface, and your team can focus less on navigating the system — and more on shaping the story.

Seamless Integrations

The Octopus Web Client connects with 100+ industry tools and platforms, including video servers, graphics engines, teleprompters, social media platforms, and AI solutions. From Vizrt to Mimir, your ecosystem flows together — with Octopus at the center.

In a Fast-Moving Newsroom, Stay in Motion

The Octopus Web Client isn’t just a remote version of our core system — it’s a newsroom companion built for fluid, flexible production. With powerful collaboration tools, smart workflows, and a familiar browser-based interface, your team can keep stories moving no matter where the newsroom happens to be.
