Recording Focus Groups with VALT Video

 

Recording focus groups allows companies to review the sessions in depth and pick up on extra information that is often missed by a human observer. Companies can also build a vast video library of focus group sessions, accessible at any point in the future. Previously, audio-only recordings of focus groups were common, though many companies augmented this with analog video recording.
