# Request Videos For Customer Support In Intercom
> Discover how to request videos from customers in Intercom for faster support diagnosis. Reduce back-and-forth and resolve issues more efficiently.
Sendspark Request Video lets you collect short screen or camera recordings from customers so you can diagnose support issues faster. Generate a public "video request link," share it in Intercom (or any support channel), and customers record without signing up or installing anything. Their videos upload straight to your account, and you're notified when each one is ready.
## Key takeaways
* A video request link is a public recording link customers use without a Sendspark account or any install.
* Share one link across email, Intercom, Zendesk, or Slack — you can reuse the same link for many customers.
* Recorded videos upload automatically to your account and notify you by email; all workspace members can view them.
* Pro users can white-label request pages with brand styles and download videos as MP4. With the Chrome Extension you can insert a request link right from Intercom chat.
Sick of seeing tickets like…
*“It’s broken”*
*“That doesn’t work”*
And other un-actionable inquiries?
[Sendspark Request Video](https://www.sendspark.com/video-platform/request-videos) makes it ridiculously easy to get short videos from customers, so you can quickly diagnose issues and provide support -- saving hundreds of hours per week of unnecessary back-and-forth chat and support calls.
## 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.
