Hey PH Really excited to share this with the community! For the past year we've been helping mobile marketers drive better results for their mobile messaging campaigns with our mobile-optimized video story platform. As more businesses turn to messaging channels like SMS, they face the challenge of writing a message that's casual enough for the channel yet detailed enough to get their message across. This is where Tape's mobile-optimized video story platform really shines. By adding Tape to your messaging, we help you leverage the power of face-to-face vertical video, which feels like a cross between facetime and instagram stories, within your messaging strategy to build rapport and trust, deliver your message with clarity, and drive towards business results (e.g. book more meetings, drive donations, activate volunteers, and much more). In addition, we capture analytics and offer APIs and webhooks so you can connect us with your CRM to inform the rest of your sales process. And, by the way, this app-like experience is delivered over mobile web with no download necessary. We've finally released a free tier to give more people the chance to leverage our platform. We'd love to hear and incorporate your feedback as we continue to build features and evolve the product! Let me know what you think! -Dave P.S. thank you @jmitch for hunting us!

I was lucky enough to try out Tape over a year ago. It's insane how far the product has come and what Jason and the team have achieved. Talking with them, it's clear they have a real vision for where the product is headed and I'm excited about this launch.

@svend_court_payen Yes you can! We're working on making it easier to embed the player in your site / blog posts / etc. and should have that available soon!

I think I should understand this, but I don't. Is this a messaging platform (sms, FBM) where I build my list and send broadcasts via Tape? Or does Tape output a file that's optimized video for MMS/FBM? Let's say I already have a list of SMS subscribers on another platform... how do I use Tape? ?makers

@atmssg Agreed, I don't understand what this is.. how does the video get to the users' phones, and what role does SMS (text) play here?

@atmssg @ronyfadel great feedback. this is the kind of reaction from PH we were hoping for that highlights what we've missed being in the weeds. so thank you! We're a mobile video platform that is optimized for use with your favorite SMS tools/platforms. You would first use Tape to create the video story and the assets to send through a 3rd party SMS tool. After sending, Tape captures interaction data, summarizes to help you generate insights, and sends it to other platforms like CRM systems to give you a wholistic view of your new SMS outreach enhanced by Tape video. hope that helps but if not, we're all happy to answer further questions. keep the feedback coming!

Love this! It’s incredibly intuitive. And fast. Can’t wait to implement in our customer messaging campaigns. A much needed breath of fresh air.

@gylonj Thanks, Gylon. We're excited to share more with you!

Great product! Brings the power of social stories to a 1:1 conversation like experience. How do you handle sending video links via SMS? Android doesn't highlight the link or makes it accessible directly. It only works for iOS. This ist the only drawback I see using Tape for a SMS campaign atm. Would love to see a real business case using Tape for a SMS campaign. ?makers

@geraldribisch Thanks for the feedback! I’d love to hear more about where you’re seeing that experience. If you could email us some screen shots plus information about the device you’re using at support@trytape.com, we’d love to get you unblocked as soon as possible. In the mean time you can checkout this quick article I shared about 5 successful use cases (including sending to Android devices) we are excited about here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/5... Look forward to hearing back from you via support@trytape.com

@trytape @jayyeh You're absolutely right. Couldn't reproduce it on other phones. Appears only on Xiaomi's MUI port of Android. I'm going to send some screenshots and sum up my finding. Thanks for the use cases. Great Product 👍
