Very cool! Any way I can save recordings to my dropbox instead of having to store them with you guys? One of Dropbox features I use most is having every screenshot I take saved to dropbox and a url to it copied directly to clipboard. Having that for videos/gifs would be incredible.
@eli_finkelshteyn I know we used to joke around at Backplane calling each other "horrible guys", but you know your videos are anonymous and safe with us. I'm a good guy. I'm on your side! :-)
Having worked at a cloud company also adds extremely relevant reference experience with regards to being unreasonably anal about customer data privacy.
If you are interested, here are the terms for the recorder and our platform:

There is an awesome section at the bottom there that starts at a title denoted "Client Information". I think you will enjoy what we have to say (although it is pretty standard for any company that stores user-generated data).

@vhmth awesome. Sounds rad. If I had that Dropbox feature I'd use this all the time (and probably will without it too). Good job making something this cool!
Best thing ever. I use it a lot when product testing, it's so much easier to explain when I find a bug to our developers, also works great for recording calls and doing demos or tutorials.
Pros:
Easy to use, FREE, unlimited videos, can take notes , and many other things.
Cons:
None! They are working on new updates and features that they share on their roadmap, it's awesome.
@vhmth Cool example :) for some reason it stops me when I click on any link in the same tab. Chrome version: 48.0.2564.116 (64-bit)
Report
That's what I was looking for. I am building a site and I don't want to install heavy screen recording software on my system just to create a 10-15 seconds screencast.
@vhmth That's awesome. Thanks for the tips! We're currently building that part for our webRTC product and we're wondering if we were going in the right direction. That's reassuring. Now the challenge is to handle the footage/compilation if multiple cameras/screensharings etc.
@gillesbertaux awesome! Let's schedule a call! I would love to be able to help out in any way possible. I guess unless you're building the same exact thing. In which case, good luck! :-P My email is vinay@opentest.co
@thiagoafram hey Thiago! Unfortunately delete is not currently implemented. In the very very close future (a couple days), we will have archive/unarchive, which will allow you to essentially take down a share link, but it will still be available to you within your dashboard (https://www.opentest.co/my-videos).
Let me know if that answers your question. If you would still like actual file deletion, I also want to know about that. :-)
@arunpattnaik@thiagoafram video deletion is now our most requested feature. It will likely be coming up. The storage is free and unlimited. :-) Record away!
Report
@vhmth Deleting a video is a must, especially as we tend to make mistakes and would only want to keep the final version, not the 'wrong' ones. It'd be awful to send a previous version by mistake. Also, don't see the point of archiving if you have, say, 5 versions of the same video, but only one really usable. Does it make sense? :)
@thiagoafram 100% man. The users have spoken and it makes sense to us. :-) Archive mainly will be shipping first simply because it's an easier stop-gap solution, but you will have your cake and eat it too eventually! We will be updating our users with feature updates regularly, so keep your eyes peeled.
@ajonit hey Ankur! It does not currently support full desktop recording, but it is certainly on our feature list! Do you have any particular use cases that come to mind?
Report
@vhmth yes, many times v need to show a quick illustration/support to our trainees for a desktop based software, while we have camtasia studio , it's an overkill for simple recordings.
@vhmth@ajonit my coworker needs to record my lectures I give over Skype video. Any chance this would be possible?
Report
Great product, great experience, i used the screencastify chrome extension. But i think this one is better and suits more all my different needs (like user testing and bug report)
@jimmyvergerolle glad you enjoy the experience! Out of curiosity, what are some things that Screencastify offers that you wish we had?
Report
@vhmth Screencastify is heavily based on Google Drive and that's why i use it. I think cloud storage service integration will be very useful for your users (either G. Drive or Dropbox like others said) because it will be easier for them to integrate openvid in their workflow.
@jimmyvergerolle great point. Do you and your team personally use G Drive? Wondering what your workflow is for storing/sharing files right now. If you don't mind, could you email me directly at vinay@opentest.co? This PH comment thread is starting to get unwieldy. :-)
