Hey Product Hunters 👋 I'm Scott, one of the makers of CloudApp. First, wanted to say thank you to @nickabouzeid for hunting Instant Video! I'm particularly excited about this new release. As a leader of a now fully remote company, being able to communicate clearly, comprehensively, and instantly is even more important than ever before. CloudApp is the fastest way to quickly record your screen (as a video, GIF, or image annotation) and instantly share it as a link. With Instant Video, you can show your work, pitch your product, or answer a question 5x faster than before. We're launching this update on our Mac app (for Catalina) first, and we'll be visiting our apps in the future. In this update, we're also including several other GREAT features: -Do Not Disturb mode to eliminate distractions during recordings -Highlighter for your screenshot annotations and text selection -Call to Action to drive engagement and action on your shared content Looking forward to hearing your feedback on this, and thank you for your support! ✌️ And of course, thanks to all of the work of our incredible team @joedmarti @nsphin for this huge release!

Hey CloudApp team, any chance you could improve video drops on CloudApp? Currently, videos are unviewable on CloudApp because the video lags so badly. I'm just staring at a video loading indicator the whole time. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/JqKOO-EIZAA Here's the drop I was trying to view: https://ca.mag.cm/xQugwpw7 Any time I want to share a video I record with CloudApp, I have to download the video and upload it to YouTube. My internet connection's current download speed is measured at over 650 Mbps, so my internet connection is not the problem. Rather, it seems that CloudApp isn't able to stream videos fast enough to support playback. Additionally, why am I shown this warning screen every time I click on the Download option when viewing a drop?: https://ca.mag.cm/6quBJlWq I'm encountering too many bugs on this release. It doesn't feel like it was ready for public consumption yet.

@magnuson Hey Charles, Thanks so much for the feedback, I’m sorry you’re running into issues. This is really helpful. Here are a couple things that you could do for now, until we continue to streamline this even better with future releases: We currently record the full quality of your screen by default (4k quality or more), but if you want to ensure it’s viewable by more people of various bandwidths, we added an option to lower the quality of the recording under Preferences > Recording > Recording quality. If you were to select ‘Medium’ it would be closer to 720p and use much less bandwidth for you and your viewers. This is the most common setting on YouTube for example. As for the red screen we are actively working with Google to resolve the issue, please be assured the link is safe! It can take a bit of time as as it’s a fairly manual process. For now, you can feel secure to bypass the alert and download the file you are looking for! Please let us know if you encounter any other issues at support@getcloudapp.com

Hey fellow Product Hunters! Im Joe, one of the makers of Product Hunt. Huge shoutout to @nickabouzeid for hunting Instant Video! I am so pumped to bring instant video to the CloudApp community.

As @scotcha1 said, Instant Video can help you have a link to share after creating a video 5x faster than before. This has provided instant value to my marketing team as we create a TON of longer videos for both internal and external use. Having them ready to share or download quicker is a big help. We have a lot of other great features in this round, so check it out, download the update, or if you're new to CloudApp - Join the 3 million + others who are going to be creating videos 5x faster today :). https://www.getcloudapp.com/blog...
