Our story
In the early 2010s, as the rise of online education and MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) transformed the way people learned, Fabrice Mercier was already deeply immersed in the world of lecture recording and video podcasting for universities. His solutions helped educators bring knowledge to wider audiences, but he kept encountering the same frustrating challenge: recording high-quality training videos was far too complex, time-consuming and expensive.
He knew there had to be a better way. What if teachers, trainers and professionals could create studio-quality videos on their own, without relying on technicians or costly post-production?
That’s when the idea for Rapidmooc came: all-in-one, plug-and-play video studios designed to let anyone record engaging content independently.
