UCD College of Business has launched One Button Studio, a purpose-built facility designed to make video and audio production simple, efficient and accessible for faculty, staff and students.

Faculty and staff can use the studio to record course content, present online at conferences or a research interview, while students are encouraged to create their own video materials as part of their learning experience, including presentations, podcasts and case competition submissions.

The launch reflects a strategic priority of UCD College of Business to invest in physical and digital infrastructure and its commitment to innovation in education and digital capability. It represents a practical investment in tools that support modern educational practices and enables the College community to share ideas, research and learning in new and effective ways.

At the heart of the One Button Studio is ease of use. With a streamlined setup designed to remove technical barriers, users can focus on delivering their message rather than managing equipment or complex workflows. The studio is designed to deliver professional results quickly and efficiently, making high-quality video production more accessible than ever. It also supports both academic delivery and skills development, helping all of the College community to build confidence in digital communication and content creation.

“The studio's greatest asset is its simplicity, removing the need for complex hardware setup which in turn enables faculty, staff and students to focus on what really matters – content,” said Audrey Dempsey, Manager of Business eLearning at UCD College of Business.

Key features of the studio include:

• Soundproofed room
• Professional mic and camera
• Easy recording function onto USB key
• Teleprompter
• Green screen with easy overlay configuration
