For the Swiss Football Association, this resulted in responsive support and well-crafted resources to make all the difference.

While transitioning teams continues, a vast majority of users are steadily becoming more comfortable with Pro Video’s tools & features.

Q: Can you describe your onboarding experience, including any highlights or particularly positive aspects?

Next week, the other national teams will start using it and have their own experiences with this new tool.”
