Very nice - but I'm going to stick with Loom! https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@scottbowler If you're open to sharing Scott, I'd love to hear what Loom is doing for you that Soapbox can't, and what features you would need in order to consider switching. Thanks for checking out Soapbox!

This looks fantastic! But running into an issue when I finish recording. The upload status keeps getting stuck on "Uploading (NaN%)".

@willhoekenga Oh dang. We're definitely pushing Chrome to the limits with this extension. I believe that happens when we can't capture one of the streams (screen or webcam). We're working on being able to better catch that error, but unfortunately the only fix when that happens is to restart Chrome 😬.

@brendan Yep, thanks, that did the trick! Working like a charm now. Really looking forward to using this more.

@willhoekenga Nice. Glad to hear that worked!

@brendan - Big fan. Great work, once again. We'll figure out how to use this, immediately. Couple of questions: 1. Probably missed it during my test video. Is there a way to just go full screen on the subject vs screen. Even for an entire video? 2. Any chance this will have integration capabilities? We're currently using a different video capture for clients to upload their own content quickly to Uncubed.com. But since all Uncubed Original Content uses Wistia, it would be great to have all content, whether created by us or our customers, using Wistia. If this is the case, can we capture analytics as well? 3. Perhaps all of this is answered already and I missed it. LMK. Thanks. Tarek

@tarekp Hey Tarek! Excited you're using Soapbox. 1. Yep, if you click the icon that looks like a person when selecting the layout (on the bottom bar), you can show just the webcam feed fullscreen. 2. Yes! We have big plans here and definitely will make a way to push these videos to Wistia proper. Stay tuned. 3. Haha, don't think so. Great questions!

Recordit.co did this with gifs. Happy to have an actual video option now. Will check it out.

Awesome stuff (and loved the video!) can see many use cases for us, internal and external from walkthroughs / tutorials to support. May be interesting to integrate a chat/comment thread per session and analytics/dashboard (see how it performed in RL), love the idea, will go test it!

Cool! Already want to use it

Are videos sharable to Wistia only?
Brendan Schwartz
Maker
@vladkorobov Hey Vladislav, right now they're separate from Wistia and shareable at their soapbox.wistia.com URLs. We'll likely make them available for download and allow them to be pushed to Wistia as well though.
Vlad Korobov
@brendan youtube & vimeo upload please. Sounds like competitors to you but they are different channels (outside website)
Brendan Schwartz
Maker
@vladkorobov Totally agree! Thanks for the feedback.

Great product! Very easy to use. Will you add embed option?
Brendan Schwartz
Maker
@galimotion We might. First step will be a way to push them to Wistia so you can embed from there though.
