These March 2020 multimedia trends include chic, solar-powered earbuds, aggregated local news platforms and multi-stage video baby monitors.
When it comes to social media innovations, the month's standouts include the VSCO photography platform's new video posting feature. Known for its artistic photography content and photo editing capabilities, the app now allows iOS users to share video content with the VSCO online community.
