Love the fact that you guys integrate into Slack directly. We have been using other video solutions like zoom mostly and it was always a bit of a hassle to have to switch between tools. This looks like it’ll help save a ton of time and it’s great to see we can use it for ad hoc video huddles as well. Congrats to the makers! What other features are you planning to release for this in the future?
Badri Rajasekar
@ryanchaliff thanks much. Yeah we have a standalone application with rooms, etc but have found often times, we spend a bunch of time in slack and don't want to leave the workflow and be able to jump in and out quickly. Mobile + Computer vision (lighting correction, etc) is another area we are looking at.

Our team @PressFriendly has been remote for 7 years and a Slack team the whole time. We've been using Jamm for 5 months and the Slack integration makes things so easy. It's allowed us to have quick discussions without digging around for a call-in #.

@pressfriendly @joelandren thanks and your feedback as been super useful in our product development.
Tom Foolery
Looks interesting. I have always wondered whether it’s possible to have written transcripts be integrated in video files from quick team meetings like these. Is this a feature that you guys already have or are working on in the future?
Badri Rajasekar
@foolery Yeah that's something we are indeed thinking about.
Antonio Bologna
Great product guys! I just add it to our org's slack. One thing is that /jamm record does not work on private channels, which is a bummer and most likely one feature that would mostly be used.
Badri Rajasekar
@antonio_bologna indeed the /record does not work in private channels. we will work on that.
Adam Ullman
@antonio_bologna we don’t upload slack videos to private channels but if you copy a link and paste it in a private channel the video will unfurl there. eg. If you paste this link into a private channel in Slack it should unfurl https://jamm.app/video/xqKcDyrQ9...
Jacobo Vidal
Great experience! Always happens you want to quickly explain something to your team and this saves a lot of time. Congratz! :)
Adam Ullman
@jacobo_vidal thanks Jacobo! We tried to make it quick and easy to record a video and post it to slack. No downloads required!
Juan de Bravo
@jacobo_vidal thanks Jacobo! Indeed using video saves a lot of time and misunderstandings!
Sonaal
Absolutely love the 1-click calls with team mates and easy recording features. We have been using Jamm internally for quick catchups and end of day async updates. With the slack integration the workflows become even more seamless.
Adam Ullman
@sonaal so glad to hear you’re liking it!

At Jamm, we use `/jamm record` quite a bit for things like sending recorded video updates to our team and capturing brainstorm highlights. On occasion (probably more frequently than we should admit), we like to see who can get the biggest laugh from teammates by sending funny video recordings back and forth - boomerang style! Here are some other ways we use `/jamm record` on the dailly: https://youtu.be/_rzu4X_42nE Let us know if you have any questions or feedback! We’d love to hear from you.
Adam Ullman
@dansiepen Great to hear! Let us know how you go. Video is bringing back a much needed personal touch for our team communication while we're all remote.

Hey Product Hunt👋! We’re excited for you all to check out Jamm for Slack! I don’t know about you, but we grew tired of long and boring video meetings. We believe real work happens between meetings, so we went out and built Jamm to bring a bit more fun and dynamic conversations into the workplace. Hear more on why we built Jamm: https://jamm.app/video/xqKcDyrQ9... With our latest Slack integration, you can now instantly launch live video huddles and record and send video updates to teammates directly from your Slack channel using slash commands: -🙌 Jump into a quick huddle to discuss an idea or brainstorm with your team instantly using /jamm chat - 💁‍♂️ Record and send video updates and meeting highlights to your teammates with /jamm record - 🕺 Creatively name video chat links and share with your channel We invite you to check and let us know what you think! -Badri

@baddn Congratulations on the launch. Looks like a great video collaboration tool and great that it is integrated within Slack.
Badri Rajasekar
@rahulvats Thanks so much and glad you like it.
Tushar Jain
Nice, right now I am using Loom for all the video stuff. You have practically put Loom within Slack. Will save lot of time. Good luck.
Juan de Bravo
@_jtushar thanks for your comment. Yeah, we're exploring several ways to make our work more efficient, and really hope you find this Jamm for Slack useful for your daily routines!
Ted Spare
Very quick way to share a video update! This will be super useful for internal feature updates. Also, clean landing page. Congrats on the launch!
Badri Rajasekar
@tedspare Thanks so much and so glad you like it.

I love using the Jamm recorder for product demos (what you see is what you get!) and sharing async status updates. Being a team distributed in several time zones, async communications is a key point in our day2day routines. As simple as executing `/jamm record` in any of your Slack channels 🙌
Badri Rajasekar
@juandebravo asynchronous stands ups really work (esp. in these times when you need flexibility over your schedule)
Chhaya B
Seriously always felt too may productivity apps force us into another app > hence another workflow and aint nobody got time for that. So excited to not have to leave the free version of slack for ad hoc f2f group videos anymore!! 🥃💃🏻
Badri Rajasekar
@chhaya_b as I like to say sometimes, we want "the conversation to follow you to wherever you happen to be working"
Amitav Khandelwal
Hi ?makers, How does this compare to slack's built-in video calls? I can see recording is a plus, but I don't see the ability to draw on top of screens during calls (my team's favorite feature).
Badri Rajasekar
@amitav_khandelwal We have a couple of things that are massively different - the ability to have small, resizable floating heads that you can drag around anywhere, there are shared pointers that you can use to show or point to things on top of the scree and a super powerful collaborative whiteboard built into the call & web links to easily invite and collaborate with people outside your slack workspace.
?makers Is this a hosted service like TokBox, Twilio or anything else? We have been on TokBox for past year and half. I would be interested to learn more about SDKs for JS (ReactJS), iOS, and Android, if available. Product looks fab.
Jorge Serna Pozuelo
Video recording into slack makes me save a lot of time when wanting to explain some new feature to the team. I can then take the time to write and delve into details but I can give the high level view fast and to the point.
Badri Rajasekar
@jorge_serna_pozuelo awesome and great to hear that!
Juan de Bravo
@jorge_serna_pozuelo agree with you Jorge! A video is worth a thousand words!!
Adam Ullman
@jorge_serna_pozuelo Great to hear you're enjoying the product Jorge!
Michael Leaney
I really love the experience we have created that allows me to seamlessly jump on a call with the team. Using it everyday! It's been fantastic to watch developers demo new features, or getting updates from the team via video. It has eliminated a lot of meetings and essentially allows us to consume them at our convenience. I'd definitely recommend giving the recordings a go in your team!
Adam Ullman
@michael_leaney Love less meetings!
Pedro Tonhozi
The timing of launching my startup was almost synchronized with Jamm . I have been using for almost 2 months and has been a great way to communicate with my team. Very intuitive! Highly recommended for anyone with a remote team.
Juan de Bravo
@tonhozi thanks for your words about Jamm and super happy that you're enjoying the experience so far!!
Minas Marios Kontis
Does it work for android?
Badri Rajasekar
@minas_marios_kontis You can use it on the mobile browser. For instance, you can say '/jamm chat', start a quick conversation and join from the browser on the mobile device.
Ayush Jaiswal
This looks dope. Reducing the app fatigue one app at a time. Recommending it to my team.
Adam Ullman
@aayushjaiswal08 Awesome, thanks!
Badri Rajasekar
@aayushjaiswal08 Glad you like it!
