Other than the Chrome icon on the "Get It" button, there's no real indication on the page that this is a Chrome only extension. I like the design though. Looks pretty slick. What's the target use case?

One of the makers here, good question. We think there's a number of use cases - customer support (screen cap what they're doing wrong) and sales (personalized sales pitch) being the most obvious for the time being. Also, good point on the Chrome Extension messaging, will fix.

Could teaching be a market?

For sure. I think there's a great opportunity for teaching/training/product walk-throughs.

We have a couple customers using the full-fledged Vidyard platform for running training courses, excited to see how this screen recording tech gets adopted by them!

hi, this may be exactly what I am looking for if ... I don't want to send the video via email, I want to save it in one of the usual formats to my disc, is this supported? Right now your extension returns "Error 503 Connection timed out", I am sure it will be fine shortly, I just wanted to ask.

Hi - sorry to hear you've hit some difficulties! support[at]viewedit[dot]com should definitely be able to help!

At this point, download isn't supported. It's something we may do in the future, but for now the hope is that the built in sharing makes download obsolete. Would love to hear areas where DL is important - feedback[at]viewedit[dot]com

Thanks!

A tip for Windows users who would like something like this for other applications: If you are on Windows 10 you can press Windows+G to open the game-bar in any application. It supports capturing video content.

Edit: This does not bring up a prompt to send the video.

Hi, I'm Steve, one of the developers on the ViewedIt team. If you have any questions about ViewedIt, we're listening and are happy to answer them. ViewedIt recordings are powered by the chrome screen recording apis - https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabCapture for browser tab recording, getUserMedia for screen & webcam, and the MediaRecorder api to record the streams.

Is this private or public?
