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?

I thought about something similar for interface testing, bug report and feedback. Linked with issue tracking tools.

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!

When you apply to YC they ask for an unlisted YouTube video :)

ffmpeg might be helpful in your use case: ffmpeg.exe ‐f gdigrab ‐i desktop ‐framerate 30 ‐vcodec libx264 ‐preset ultrafast new‐output‐video‐file.mkv

I think even UI/UX review would be good. Like looking at things that pop up on Show HN and doing a short video covering usability and design of the thing.

Seems to me that it would be easier to cover UI/UX in video format than screenshots and pictures. I'm by no means an expert in that area though.

During the beta I've been using it for showing off new UI/UX and features in Github pull requests as well as getting support to attach screen caps of software issues to their tickets. Might get QA to start using it to document defects as well. Works great.

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.

I just tried it and think its awesome. It's extremely easy to use and works really well. I'd love to use it on a regular basis..... but....

1) The terms of service are kinda scary. If I amass a large library of awesome videos you guys can turn off your servers and walk away like it's no big deal and you guys own the videos I make.

2) It seems as though you are doing everything you can to avoid users from embeding videos and want users to visit viewedit.com instead. Will this change?
