Quick and effective video messaging

Frequently asked questions

What is a video message?

A video message is a short video recording used to share your thoughts visually and verbally. They’re great for brief updates, explaining complex projects, and for reaching out to remote coworkers and customers.

How should I use video messaging at work?

It might seem easier to explain something like a complicated request or creative feedback while face-to-face, but if you’re working remotely or have a day full of meetings, you might not get that opportunity. This is where video messaging comes in. A video message is a nice alternative to a written one as it allows the expressiveness of video, without the difficulties of scheduling a meeting. Plus, you can usually explain something out loud a lot more quickly than you could by writing it out. The next time you find yourself writing a long email full of screenshots and links, try sending a video message instead.

How long should my video message be?

If you’re sending a video message instead of an email, a short video up to a few minutes long will likely suffice. If you’re sending a video message in place of a meeting, you might want to record a little longer. In either case, your content comes first. As long as you’re able to articulate your message clearly, your video won’t feel "too long" to your audience.
