Vizrt is uniquely positioned to address these shifting demands with our broad range of solutions - serving everyone from traditional broadcasters to corporations, educational institutions, live streamers, even podcasters. I plan to bring Vizrt’s innovative technology to a wider audience and I look forward to working closely with our partners and customers to shape that growth, together.”
