Amazing tool! It has absolutely awesome features! *_* For some of them I am struggling to find an app for months! And now finally I have found this! I am so happy, and can't wait to try it out! Big congratulations for the launch! ^__^ Also, I must say - interface is a-we-so-me! *_*
@asophiep Thanks a lot! ^_^ Could tell me what is the longest time of recording that is allowed on this platform? It trial is 1min, but is there some upgrade, maybe? :))
@maria_brm on the demo site you will be limited to 1 min, but if you create an account on api.video, you can use our API within your own app, and build recordings of any length you want :)
Congratulations on the progressive upload feature launch @erskingardner and the rest of the api.video team.
We've been using api.video to deliver the livestream video experience for large scale arena shows across our web and app platforms with great success.
The integration into our platforms made the project a breeze.
Looking forward to seeing what is next
Looks very good and powerful! We'll most likely try this out when building our recording feature at Vidjet!
Congrats on the launch @cedric_io and your team! 💪
👋 Hey there PH community!
Thanks @benln for hunting us! 🙌
We're super excited to launch the Progressive Upload API & Clients today: a radically new way to let your app's users simultaneously create and upload their videos, making their content available in seconds, just after they end their recording!
❓ The problem
As a product builder, most of your users are unaware of what it takes to make their videos ready to play in seconds, not minutes. And if it doesn't load in 1 second, they complain, or worse, churn. So, you have to offer the best possible workflow and playback experience to keep them happy.
✅ Our solution
While we can't make end-users more patient, Progressive Upload can make videos available for playback 88% faster :)
There is no need to create a video locally, upload it, and then wait for transcoding before getting a link to share.
Your users press record, and once they finish recording, their video is available almost immediately worldwide! ⚡
🛠️ What you can build with it
- In a social app: empower your users to engage by letting them record videos with one click.
- In a messaging or e-learning app: offer your users the seamless experience of recording their screen and camera to share ideas.
- In a video-conference solution: push the session to api.video to get a high-quality video recording available right after the meeting.
- With IoT and ground cameras: get recordings of what they see in seconds.
✌️ Write a few lines of code with the help of our API Clients without needing expertise in video/media transcoding, hosting, or streaming.
❤️ We have to thank our developer community for inspiring this product idea! We can't wait to see what you will build with api.video 🙌🏼

Neva Ballet is a dance & fitness online platform launched by Valentina Zatevalneva in 2020.
We are using api.video to allow our students, who cannot attend the live sessions, to review the classes in HD at any time.
As a beta tester of the new progressive upload feature, I can say that it allowed us to improve the overall experience for our users significantly! It was super important for our students, unable to join the Zoom sessions or those wanting to review the course after it ends, to (re)watch it.
Now, the replay is available in just a few seconds after the course ends - that's a real and meaningful differentiator for us !
Go api.video !!
Really nice feature !
We are eager to implement this progressive upload feature in our website beeready.io, an async video platform that connects people who have a hiring appointment with experts to train them and maximize their chances of getting the job they are applying for.
Our end-users must focus on their training, not the technical steps needed to record themselves and upload the video on our platform.
Your feature is super impressive, and we will be happy to be able to provide such an experience to our users! Good luck with the launch!
It's an upload... It's a live stream... It's progressive upload for everyone. 🦸♂️🦸♀️
I'm so happy to be a part of this launch! Can't wait to see the usage!
We are providing a video platform helping top-level athletes to review their performances. Back in a day, athletes were recording their footages from phones, so they had to watch themselves on a small screen.
We have been using this feature as beta for a few weeks now, and it changed the whole workflow. We are now providing an experience that fits athletes' expectations: they can review their moves right after the session, in HD and on large screens (computers and TV).
That is definitely a game-changer for the end user.
@jules_boiteux2 thanks for your support :) Indeed, with our API and progressive upload a developer could manage hundreds of user recordings at a time 😃
@chang_dawson great question, Loom is a fantastic product but we wanted to bring this ability to create recordings to developers so that they could create that themselves in their apps :)
