Pivo’s new Video Annotation feature allows annotating on recorded training videos directly within the Pivo Training Platform. Instead of just watching a video passively, users — or their coaches — can add comments, visual markers and voice notes right onto the timeline or frame of the video itself.
This turns recorded footage into actionable feedback, making training review far more precise, personalized, and efficient. That means no exporting, no third-party apps and no messy file transfers.The new tool lets you:
- Comment on specific timestamps or leave voice notes attached directly to moments in the video
- Send your video to your coach/coaches and request for feedback or coaches can let students know that they provide remote feedback services.
- Drawing tools to visually mark position, lines, posture, contact, movement, etc.
- Editing and deleting feedback anytime, annotations stay embedded with the video, making it easier to revisit corrections and training reminders.
It’s a faster way to get remote coaching with Pivo! Coaches can pinpoint exact moments that need improvement — frame by frame. Visual markers + verbal notes = clearer understanding.
