Learn on live kit
Every learner spends most of the course on a real desk, cutting real cameras with a real crew.
About us
A training gallery run by people who work in live television
factivo was created to close the gap between theory and the live gallery. We teach multi-camera switching, live broadcasting technique and real-time video operation, and we help managers lead television and streaming productions with confidence.
Our approach
Practice first, theory when it helps
Our courses are built around short explanations and long stretches of hands-on work.
Honest feedback
Tutors review every run in detail so you know exactly what to keep and what to change.
Calm under pressure
We rehearse failures on purpose, so a dropped source on air never catches you off guard.
