Simple to onboard

Ahmed appreciates how easy it is to teach his producers how to use StreamYard. "I would literally take them through a tour of StreamYard that would take about an hour. They'd spend a day on the platform and they'd be ready to go. "

And what was the result?

StreamYard has provided Dropbox with a tool they can use to produce both virtual and hybrid events with less staff for a fraction of the cost: they were able to save $3.2 million that they then allocated to other ways to connect with their audience.

"Never have I gone into a production confused or worried about, hey, is this thing going to work? The teams from Hopin and...StreamYard have allowed me to really be calm going in."
