Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Jay. I'm building πΌ Tape with the conviction that it is the missing piece in modern workplace communication.
πΌ Tape is an online space where teams can get things done using asynchronous video. From sharing work with clarity, exchanging thoughtful feedback, and getting work done - you can do it all with Tapeβs simple and intuitive interactive features designed for collaboration.
π€« Synchronous communication, which was established when everyone worked in the same place at the same time, simply isnβt answer for all anymore. In fact, itβs always been pretty overrated.
While it's great for spontaneous discussions, taking a moment to think, research, and respond thoughtfully is more beneficial in many more cases.
Since our initial launch, we have talked to and learned from many users in the Product Hunt community. Thank you all for your support. ππ» Without it, we wouldn't have been able to make as much progress with Tape.
One key improvement was in the area of "interactions." Our early supporters wanted to do more than just share recorded videos, but existing tools like Loom lacked the necessary collaboration and interactive features.
We rapidly experimented with new features, and now our users are utilizing Tape on a daily basis to replace an increasing number of meeting types. πͺ
Examples of Tapeβs interactive features include:
πΌ Video replies
π¬ On-video comment & emoji
πΌ Embed anything - Calendly, Figma, Codepen and +
π Poll
π Notion like text editor
Examples of meetings that our users are replacing include:
π¨ Design review
: Teams can share their work with clarity and receive insightful feedback
π€ Complex discussions
: The asynchronous nature of Tape allows for more time to fully understand and prepare for conversations.
π§ Bug reporting
: No more βHey, can you show me how to reproduce the bug?β
π§ͺ User testing
: No need to get all team in the same room
β All hands, Internal seminar, and more
Now it's your turn! A quick tip: Utilize the framework(in the gallery) that I created after speaking with hundreds of individuals to determine which meetings can be replaced by Tape.

@benln@jaythesong I cannot tell you how much I love these async work approaches. I often work in corporate settings where meetings are helt all the time. Having an easy async work tool often makes things way easier. I would be interested how you differentiate from others in the space?

@benln@jaythesong Congratulations on the launch! great product for distributed teams and client communication (my primary use case).
@markus_sigel Hey Markus, thank you for your comment! Good question. Tape's interactive features, tailored for video, make all the difference. With other tools like Loom, when you try to do more than just share information, it can be awful as you always have to go like "Hey, can we make a change on the part showing second from the top right at the video you sent from 02:35?" But with Tape, you can just write a comment right on the video! And there are a lot more features that you can enjoy to actually "Get work done".
@swapdp_01 Thanks, Swapnil! Yeah, our users love using Tape when they talk to their clients. What they are saying is that it saves a lot of time as they can have more thoughtful communication, which reduces unnecessary iterations.
@benln@jaythesong Congratulations on the launch of Tape. I recorded a product intro video within 30s and I love it! There is no doubt that Tape is a powerful helper for me. Good job π
This looks like it's going to be a lifesaver.. After all, don't we come out of 50% of meetings thinking that the meeting would've been sufficiently replaced by an email?
I see it as an advanced, interactive and efficient way of messaging! Awesome work, can't wait to introduce this to my team :)
@mycelebs_elle Thank you for your comment Elisabeth. Totally, half of meetings or more are unproductive and we already know. Now we all know the workplace has been changed for good and it's the right time to think about how we collaborate! Please try it and let me know what you think.
Congratulations for the launch, as a remote team, weβre trying various tools for async collaboration. Iβm trying out Tape to replace some of our meetings. Keep up the good work, Jay!
@daun_io Hey Daun, thank you for your constant support! Also, I wanted to thank you for creating awesome tools. I can tell you that I used one of your products to create demo images for this launch. π
@jaythesong Oh wow Thanks for using ours :) I have one question! does Tape plan to make a desktop app or browser extension ever? You mentioned being able to be used without anything to install as a feature, and I think it's great too. Still, sometimes I think people find it comfy when using browser extensions or desktop apps so they can capture contexts to talk at any moment like Loom does.
I was surprised when I was using the Loom browser extension because it really understood the context of my workflow for example the icon showed up when I was writing a pull request reviews on GitHub, etc.
@daun_io Hey Daun, that's a great point. Lowering the barriers for new users is important and it has worked out quite well for Tape. However, once they become active users, they want a quicker and more accessible entry point, just like you pointed out.
That's why we've been already building a Chrome extension π You will probably see it here soon enough and a desktop app will be the next! At the beginning, it will be similar to Loom, but we will quickly add some exciting features that can add value for users who want to do more with videos than just sharing information.
@jaythesong Oh really! I think Tape is only getting better in every dimension so far from the initial launch. Thanks for kindly replying to my comment.
@daun_io Thank you Daun for taking the time to send us such a positive message! It's always great to hear from people who share our vision for a more collaborative and productive work environment.

Congratulations on the launch, I like this, meetings can really drain the energy you have to do something productive. Have you considered Tape as a mobile app?
@klein_ochoggia Hi Klein, thank you for the comment. Try out Tape and let me know what you think! Yeah, meetings are necessary, but they drain a lot of energy, especially the bad ones. We do have a mobile app on the roadmap, but it's not our top priority just yet since it's not what our users have been asking for the most. But if that's what you're looking to see in Tape, maybe we can prioritize it! Let me know what you think!
@klein_ochoggia Thank you for your kind words Klein! We understand that meetings can be draining and tiresome. That's why Tape is there to help teams make the most of their time and be more productive. While a mobile app is on our roadmap, it's not currently our top priority. π₯Ί
@klein_ochoggia Thank you, klein for your warm message and it's great to hear that you like our product! Yes, meetings can often drain energy that could be spent more productively elsewhere. Tape can help you save that energy and get more work done.
@paolo_degiglio Thank you Paolo!! π We're grateful for your interest in our product and appreciate your support. If you have any questions or feedback, please let us know. We're always looking for ways to improve and provide you with the best experience possible.
@kate_kovbii Thank you Kate. Yes, life without a constant flow of meetings is not only possible, but can also be more productive and efficient. Thanks for your support π
This is the perfect answer to the meeting that could have been an email! Congrats! We at Adstra love saving time and this seems a great tool to do it. What feature do you feel makes you stand out the most?
@alternative_potato Thank you for the kind words! It's great to hear that Adstra values saving time, and we believe that Tape can definitely help with that.
Regarding your question, Tape's interactive features are what makes it stand out. We've been talking to our users both active and churned and quickly realized that what others and Tape were missing was interactions that feels just right for video.
I truly believe this will answer your question in 15 secs!

@alternative_potato Thank you Alicja for your support. We're delighted to hear that you share our passion for a more collaborative and productive work environment.
Amazing service perfect for startups to use and implement for internal communications. With the teams getting more globalized its almost a must use service to enable smooth communication. Congrats on the launch and thanks for building an amazing service :) @jaythesong
@htwarthur Thanks, Arthur! You got it right! The majority of our users are distributed teams, and they are using Tape more and more. Isn't Zzan a distributed team as well? Try Tape and let me know what you think!
Thank you Arthur for your kind words and support for our product! We're thrilled to hear that you share our passion for a more collaborative and productive work environment.
