# RealmJoin Unlocked Vodcast

## The Idea Behind RealmJoin Unlocked

The goal of this cast is to ensure that every RealmJoin user – especially those without dedicated consulting – can unlock the full potential of our product. We want to:

* **Introduce New Features:** Stay up to date with the latest developments in the RealmJoin ecosystem.
* **Drive Value:** Explain how specific functions provide real-world benefits to your IT operations.
* **Share Field Experience:** We bring in "RealmJoin Champions" and Workplace experts from our team to discuss best practices.
* **Solve Problems:** We address frequently asked questions and common challenges directly in the episodes.

The vodcast is hosted by Dr. Moritz Pohl of our product team, featuring rotating guests from our RealmJoin and Microsoft Intune departments.
