How Request Video Works for Customer Support

With Sendspark Request Video, you can generate a “video request link.” This is a public recording link that your customers can use to record videos, without ever signing up for Sendspark directly or installing anything. You can send this link to your customer in any of your usual support channels. Then, they can click the link to record their video (face, screen, or upload). After your customer records a video, the video will automatically upload to your Sendspark account, and you will receive a notification that it’s ready for you to review. From here, you’ll be able to watch, download, or share the video internally. 🤔 Want to see how it will look for your customers? request a video from Sendspark to record a video for our support team. (You’re also welcome to schedule time with our sales team to learn more about features and functionality).
