Previously, the station used various video conferencing platforms like Zoom and Skype during the COVID-19 pandemic to connect external guests to broadcasts. Seeking a more efficient and higher-quality alternative, the station chose QuickLink StudioCall for its ease of use and reliability.

Benefits of QuickLink

QuickLink StudioCall allows Omroep Brabant to create high-quality video call connections with minimal latency, making it suitable for live broadcasts.

Jasper de Bruijn, Media Technology Specialist at Omroep Brabant, noted the operational efficiency brought by QuickLink.
