My-Take LLC, a greater Boston based insight technology and analysis company, has just launched its latest version of Video Chat, an insight community activity type used for conducting online focus groups and IDIs.

“This activity type upgrade and launch comes with many new enhancements. We believe this launch will add a lot of value for our clients by integrating the ability to conduct online focus groups in addition to in-depth interviews, all from within the community platform. Deep qualitative feedback gained through video chat can add color to a study and bring insights to life.” – Todd Hoskins, My-Take Co-founder
