Virgil Patterson (ID: 000000a92d25187d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/19/2023 Pretty good. This is an innovative and easy-to-use tool for sending video messages via Gmail, but it would benefit from adding more customization options such as the ability to add captions or text overlays. Overall I recommend this extension.

Simon Yoda (ID: 000000f90b629d71) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/25/2023 This is a fantastic tool that makes email communication more personal, engaging, and effective. The ability to record and send personalized videos directly from an email platform is a game-changer for me and my company who want to make a lasting impression on their recipients.

Will Lees (ID: 000000417d4cd54d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/13/2021 Glitches all the time. Try and open the video application and just says 'Loading' or you record a video and it will not embed it into the email. Works occassionally but overall quite a poor product.
