New look, more user-friendly, and several new features. Finally, it's time for us to present Mediaflow 4.0.
The update to Mediaflow 4.0 introduces a new interface that enhances the user experience in several ways. Visually, Mediaflow has been redesigned with the goal of creating a more cohesive and intuitive experience. However, the most significant changes to the platform have actually taken place on the backend. Mediaflow 4.0 signifies a complete overhaul of how all parts of our platform operate, how they communicate with each other, and their backend structure. It delivers the same functionalities you're accustomed to, but it's powered by an entirely new engine. This allows us to release new features more rapidly.
