NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vimeo, the
world's leading professional video platform and community, today
launched Vimeo Record, a free video messaging tool that allows
users to instantly record their screen from their browser, share
video messages, and exchange comments and feedback— improving
workplace collaboration and communication for distributed teams.
Following the launch of Vimeo Enterprise last year, Vimeo Record
further entrenches Vimeo as the preferred end-to-end video solution
for teams and organizations, including the 60% of Fortune 500
companies who already have a Vimeo account.
The pandemic has fundamentally changed the way teams work, and
today Zoom fatigue and overflowing inboxes are impacting our
ability to share ideas, knowledge and feedback. Video messaging
gives teams a smarter, faster way to share information and
collaborate— from training and onboarding, to reviewing product
design, to resolving support tickets, and more. Video is also
proven to boost team productivity and engagement: Recent research
from Vimeo and GlobalWebIndex shows that employees are 70% more
engaged at work when their company uses video to communicate. Vimeo
Record is part of a broader suite of tools designed to help
businesses communicate better with employees, customers and
partners, including a team library to organize and showcase videos,
review tools to collaborate on assets, and live streaming for
company-wide events.
"My team is using Vimeo Record to share product demos internally
and to give our customers a preview of what's launching soon. We
love it! It adds a personal touch that you just can't replicate
with email or a chatroom message. I can definitely see video
messaging becoming part of our everyday workflow at Mailchimp,"
said Trevor Wolfe, Director of
Product Marketing at Mailchimp, a Vimeo Record beta user.
"Nobody wants to write a long email or jump on another Zoom call
to describe something you could show your colleague in 10 seconds.
Sending a video message can provide the context and value of that
interaction in a fraction of the time," said Anjali Sud, CEO of Vimeo. "As businesses adapt
to distributed teams and different time zones, we see a unique
opportunity to leverage our years of video expertise and unmatched
scale to get a free video messaging tool in the hands of over 1
billion knowledge workers globally. This is an exciting step in our
strategy to bring the power of video to every workplace."
Thousands of users across over 400 companies have been using the
beta version of Vimeo Record. Key benefits include:
- Instant knowledge transfer: Get complex ideas across
quickly, and connect on a personal level by expressing yourself as
you would in-person. Simply record your screen, talk through your
message, and share with anyone.
- Unlimited recordings: Create and share unlimited
recordings for free to more effectively share information and
collaborate— as frequently as needed.
- Simplified feedback: Add in-video comments and resolve
feedback directly in your video recordings. Project owners can see
who has viewed a recording and when, and will receive instant
notifications when someone watches or comments.
- Secure access for teams: Organize recordings in folders
and set permissions to grant teammates, clients and customers
access to specific folders. Those with access to a folder will be
automatically notified when new content is added.
- One-stop shop for video at work: Host and organize all
of your videos on one platform, while unlocking a full suite of
tools to create and distribute videos, review team projects, and
live stream virtual events.
Vimeo has seen a significant increase in demand for its video
tools this year: Since the pandemic, the company has scaled
to over 200 million members around the world, revenue has grown
40-50% each month, and Vimeo Enterprise accounts have grown over
500%, with customers including Deloitte, CNBC, Lincoln Center, NYSE
and Zendesk.
Vimeo Record is available to install as a free Chrome extension
here. For more information, please visit vimeo.com/record.
