About

Teams by Swivl is a web and app based video collaboration system that allows educators to create videos for professional development, flipped classrooms, and teacher or student observations. The platform offers secured sharing, video analysis tools such as time stamped commenting, video bookmarking, rubrics, and editing capabilities that help educators to build best practice video libraries. 

 

Teams is an essential solution for coaching in schools and offers coaches and teachers the ability to edit, annotate, and analyze teacher videos for professional growth. Teams also comes with security, management, and data analysis features for Administrators such as: video and user access controls, content storage localization, and video metadata for download.
