The team launched Video Breakdown through the Garage as an experimental product, and spent the next year tuning it, adding features, adapting as new breakthrough tech was introduced, and learning from customers along the way.
At the Microsoft Build 2017 event, Video Breakdown was officially launched as Video Indexer, an Azure Media Service.
