I thought the name was ViewEdit, as for me that seems to be the more likely parse of a product name (verb verb vs. past-verb noun.) Intentional pun?

#42Nice tool, thank you! An extension to post on Youtube directly will be great!
Thx for the feedback - consider it on the roadmap!

#43Hi, 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 vid…
(1) may be a showstopper, but (2) is a creative turnoff.
I would think embedding little video snippets in a web page, interspersed with prose, would be the killer presentation use case. Instead, the product promotes itself to center stage, above the content itself.

It sounds like a typical case of contract-lawyer boilerplate stuffing where nobody in charge read it or cared enough to change it.
Similar to what Facebook, Twitter, etc have done in the past.
Still, they need to fix that if their business model really isn't to resell your screen-shared content.

#45hi, 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!

Just in general: Murphy's law. At the worst possible time, the ISP will be down, the wifi adapter will drop its connection, you'll exceed your data plan, or you'll be at the customer's place who's weird about outside machines on their network.
"Stuff happens". More options are always better, even if you hope you never have to use them.

Hey there, Jon here from the Vidyard team. I can assure the group that the intention was never for Vidyard to do anything with user content other than to provide the service. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. An update to the Terms of Use for ViewedIt will be rolled out shortly.
