👋 Hey Product Hunt :) I started ZipMessage to replace unnecessary live meetings with asynchronous video messaging. Our early customers love that it’s just as easy to send a ZipMessage as it is to receive one back from a customer, a teammate, a new hire, etc. ⛔ The problem Too many Zoom calls! We want to communicate asynchronously but current tools have too much friction or lack clarity. — Messages are scattered across too many 1-way links flying around. — Too much friction to ask customers and others to respond on video. — Live meetings put people on the spot. Since we’re remote, we should use async to our advantage. We want space to respond with our best, fully-baked ideas! ✅ The solution Our early customers switched to ZipMessage as their go-to async video messaging tool. Here’s what they love most: — Threaded conversations—with video, voice, screen, and text messages—flowing together on a single, shareable page. — Easy for anyone to respond by recording into the browser. Great for messaging with customers, clients, freelancers and others! — Personalized links can be shared just like a calendar link—but async! — Embed video intake forms on your own website. Plus: Transcripts, message templates, intake pages, Slack integration, Zapier integration, API and more... 🐶 I’m hungry for your feedback!

@casjam This is very well thought-out! Sounds like it’s gonna be solving a BIG problem of modern online collaboration. The fact that participants are not required to log in sets this apart. Notion and similar tools are also good for collaboration (though you'll need a separate piece of software to record your screen, audio, and so on). However, if someone isn't using them already, it's impolite to demand that they sign up, especially for one-off projects.

@casjam @mikerubini Mike, what are you planning on using ZipMessage for? I want to use this for cold outreach, qualifying customers and client on-boarding for data / software projects. I usually transition to their platform such as slack, jira, github for the project. I am hoping that this reduces friction and allows for efficient communication during exploration of problem to be solved and requirements.

Why would any sane person do things in sync that could be better done async? ZipMessage is the way to go, especially in a remote work world.

HUGE fan of ZipMessage! I'm building a productized service on the side of my busy day job and I've used ZipMessage to facilitate pretty much all of my sales calls and team communication. I love that it allows everyone to fit the conversation into their own schedules and creates enough space to make each response more thoughtful and intentional. Other screen recording tools are great, but ZipMessage has become my favorite because it allows you to have a back and forth conversation in a single place, so you can always go back and see the full context of the conversation instead of having to manage numerous video links. If you're working remotely with teammates, clients, or customers (Let's be honest, who isn't these days?) I strongly encourage you to check out ZipMessage as a way to collaborate more efficiently.

So far I am enjoying ZipMessage! It's a great way to whip up a quick message using video to a colleague or someone you are working with. Brian Casel is veteran creator and will stay on top of this product in the long run. I am looking forward to growing with ZipMessage! Have any questions? I'll send you my answer with a ZipMessage conversation.

Question ?makers — Say I subscribe to the Premium plan (unlimited message history) for one month. Then I stop my subscription. If I come back 6 months later and resume my Premium subscription, will the old messages still be available or will they have expired? The FAQ entry (pasted below) doesn’t answer my question: “Will messages expire? If you’re on the Premium plan, you get unlimited message history, when means your messages never expire as long as your Premium plan remains active. If you’re on the Basic or Free plan, your messages remain available for playback for several weeks or months (see above).”

@anna_0x Hey Anna, good question. As long as you have an active paying subscription, on any plan (Basic or Premium), we'll never delete your message recordings from our servers. If you're on the Basic plan, messages older than 90 days will display as "expired". If/when you upgrade from Basic to Premium all of the messages you've had while your subscription was active will become visible. On Premium, all messages are visible/never expire. On the free plan, messages stay visible for 30 days. After 60 days—assuming the account is not on a paying subscription—we wipe those older messages from our servers. This same system would be in effect if you were on the Basic or Premium plan, then downgraded to the free plan. In this case, messages older than 60 days would be wiped. By the way, regardless of plan (free or paid), you'll always have the ability to download/export the mp4 and mp3 files from your recordings, in case you ever want to store them somewhere else. Hope that clarifies! If any other questions come up, let me know.

@casjam yup, that clears it up! I suggest you replace the FAQ answer with the content of this comment 😉

Big fan of Zipmessage! Asynchronous video communication is a great way to reduce the time spent in meetings and trying to schedule them across time-zones. Here are some examples of meetings we have replaced with async communication: - status updates - welcoming new team members - company announcements I'm enjoying following along as Brian builds in public.
