Full step-by-step walkthrough

A capable system. A humble product.

We built SwitchCrew because broadcast scheduling is messy — late changes, long call sheets, and people who need a clear yes/no more than another complicated tool. The goal isn’t to impress you with features. It’s to help your crew show up ready.

What you get

  • Admin, crew, and view-only access
  • Availability, assignments, and calendars
  • SMS + email alerts with deep links
  • Groups, templates, and custom fields

Questions, answered

Straight answers — no jargon tax.

College and broadcast production crews first — cameras, A1s, graphics, runners, and the rest. Other event crews use it too when they need availability + assignments + alerts in one place.

It’s how early someone needs to be there before the event starts. If kickoff is 7:00 PM and camera ops call is 5 hours prior, SwitchCrew shows 2:00 PM — and can remind them before that call.

No. Most people mark availability, accept assignments, and check their calendar. Text and email links open the exact screen they need — often already signed in.

Yes. New accounts start with a 14-day free trial so you can run a real event cycle before committing.
