Ask for twenty minutes. Get footage worth cutting.
Your customer clicks a link, talks to you for a while, and leaves. What you keep is a 1080p master recorded on their machine, not a compressed call that looks like a compressed call.
Free during the beta. Your customer needs no account and no download.
The recording panel with each participant’s own 1080p master, one uploading in the background and one resumed after a disconnect.
The hardest part is their calendar. Don’t add to it.
A customer who agreed to say nice things about you will not install software to do it, and every extra step between “yes” you and the recording is a chance for that yes to go quiet. So the ask is one link, opened in the browser they already have open.
They land in a green room first, where they can see themselves, pick the right camera and microphone, and get told they look fine, all before anyone is watching or anything is recording. If they picked the laptop mic by mistake, they can switch mid-conversation without dropping out.
- No account, no download, no plugin. A link, a camera prompt, and they’re in
- Schedule it properly. Book the session ahead with a cover image and a page to send them, or just open a room now
- Reload-proof. If they close the tab by accident, reopening the link puts them straight back, on the same devices
Nobody has ever cancelled a testimonial because the download was too big. They’ve just quietly stopped replying.
The green room: a camera preview with camera, microphone and speaker pickers, and a join button.
Twenty minutes of their time, start to finish
You are the crew, the director and the interviewer. It takes about as much setup as a phone call.

Send the link with the time
Schedule the session and you get a page with a cover image and a start time to put in the invite. One link, valid when they turn up, whatever machine they’re on.
- 2
Let them settle in the green room
Camera, microphone and speakers checked before they’re seen or heard. Ask them to face a window and push the laptop up on some books. That’s the whole lighting rig.
- 3
Put their name on screen
Type their name, title and company into a lower-third and place it. Set their subtitle in the host controls so it rides with them, and mirror the camera if they find their own image distracting.
- 4
Press Record and talk
Record is explicit and each press is a new take, so you can stop, restate a question and go again without losing the first version. Nothing rolls until you say so.
- 5
Hand over the files
When you end the take you get the composed program plus one 1080p file per person. Send your editor the raw tracks, or pull the vertical cuts yourself from the transcript.
Their name, their title, their company, set properly
A testimonial where the viewer has to guess who is speaking is half a testimonial. Lower-thirds carry the name, the role and the company in your background and accent colours, with your logo in the corner you chose, so the clip looks like it belongs to your brand rather than to a meeting.
Pull-quotes are the other half. When they say the sentence you’ll end up putting on the pricing page, put it on screen while they’re still saying it.
- Five overlay types. Lower-thirds, banners, title cards, pull-quotes and social handles, at nine positions in three sizes
- Your brand, not ours. Background, accent colour and logo placement, on the recording as well as the stream
- Host controls. Rename anyone, set their subtitle, spotlight them, mirror a camera, all while recording
A lower-third naming the speaker and their company on a branded stage, beside the accent and background colour pickers.
Give the editor tracks, not a screen recording
Because each person was captured separately at full quality, your editor gets their face as its own file and yours as another. They can cut your question out entirely, re-frame the customer, fix the levels on one voice without touching the other, and crop to vertical without scaling up a mush of call artefacts.
If nobody’s editing it, cut it here. Highlights are picked out of the transcript and exported at 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 with captions burned in: the thirty-second version for the ads, the ninety-second version for the case study page.
- One MP4 per person, plus the composed program, downloadable at any time
- Multiple takes kept. The second, better answer doesn’t erase the first
- Short and vertical cuts. The same interview, sized for the site and for the feed
A finished take showing the composed program file alongside one downloadable 1080p file per participant.
Before you ask a customer
What do I actually have to send them?
A link. They open it in their browser, allow the camera and microphone, check themselves in the green room and join. There is no account to create, no app to install and nothing for their IT team to approve.
Why does it look better than a normal call?
Because the call and the recording are different things. Their camera and microphone are captured at 1080p on their own machine and uploaded in the background, so what you keep never went through the compression your conversation did.
Their internet is bad. Is the take ruined?
No. The local recording carries on regardless, and the upload resumes from where it stopped if they drop, crash or close the laptop. You may have a rough conversation and still get a clean file.
Can my editor work with what comes out?
Yes. They get separate plain MP4 tracks, one per person, at 1080p, with no export queue and no expiry date. That’s the format an editor would have asked you for anyway.
Can I get the short vertical version without an editor?
Yes. Clips are picked from the transcript, cropped to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 and captioned, so the social cut and the website cut come out of the same twenty minutes. See editing and clips.
