# How Hudl Works
Here's an overview of how the product works.
- Record and upload your video.
- The AI automatically breaks down the video once it’s uploaded, identifying the vast majority of actions and players in your game footage. After the AI processes the video, your next steps will depend on your team’s subscription.
- After the AI processes the video, your video will be sent to an analyst for review and to add details. Your coaches will get an email once the analyst has finished.
- You’ll receive the video, open your video, click the Review tab, and follow the guided tools shown. Each section will show Done✓ once completed.
- Now your video is ready to explore, review highlights and try out AI-Generated features.
# Login & Access
Getting access set up correctly from the start ensures film uploads smoothly, breakdowns process accurately, and everyone can see exactly what they need—without confusion.
Understand Account Roles
Before adding coaches and athletes to your account, get familiar with the permissions across each role to ensure the right level of access for everyone:
- Team Admins: Manage coaches, upload and exchange video, access the library, send recruiting packages, and manage billing.
- Coaches: Manage athlete access, record, livestream, upload video, and review team content.
- Athletes: View video, receive coaching feedback, and create highlights
Add Coaches & Athletes
To add coaches or athletes to your team's account, follow these steps:
- Go to the Team tab
- Select Manage Team
- Click Add Member. There are three ways to add members:
