Hippo Video

About Hippo Video
Hippo Video is a cloud-based video management software which allows users to capture, edit, and share video, audio, and screen recordings. The platform can be used to create customer testimonials, how-to guides, explainer videos, training content, and more.
Hippo Video allows users to record videos through a web launcher and extension for Google Chrome, with options for webcam, audio, and screen recording. Guest recording links can be shared with anyone, enabling the creation of videos by non-users. Videos can also be imported into Hippo Video from other systems for editing. The quick editing tools allow users to trim, cut, crop, and annotate videos, while with the pro editing tools, users can add any number of background music or narration tracks, adjust clip settings, and attach introduction and end cards.
Videos can be exported from Hippo Video to YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, and Google Classroom, and added to support tickets through integrations with Zendesk and Freshdesk. Password protection allows users to control who can access their shared videos, and expiration dates can be added to shared video links. Real-time analytics give users insight into number of views and engagement with videos.

One of My BEST Software purchases in 2022

Hippel video is an outstanding video marketing platform and I highly recommend anyone who has considered any other product to take a second look at this product. Unfortunately, customer services have fallen to the wayside and I am sure a lot of people who are reading this review can agree. It was very wholesome and pleasant to see that this company still maintained that old-fashioned way of taking care of the customer until they are satisfied and making sure that the product met the customer's expectations. I highly recommend the Hippo Video!
Pros
It just works! Prior to Hippo Video, I had another tool that 'allegedly' served the same purpose and it NEVER worked! I will admit there were some initial hiccups with onboarding; however, I am still in awe of how above and beyond the customer service team went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. There is a time zone difference between our countries. When I'm at the hospital for consecutive days, I, unfortunately, miss many emails and attempts at correspondence. This didn't stop the Hippo Technician who literally left a message with my office when he was not successful in reaching me by phone. I have never experienced customer service like that before. Very patient, very professional, high quality and just - I'm out of adjectives....it's just an outstanding product and team!
Cons
I have absolutely no complaints about the software.

Tech support was responsive via chat. I didn't have to wait long for a technician who helped me troubleshoot my problem. The interface isn't clear in some cases, but once you learn where to find the functions, the software works well.
I've been watching the video email space for a while, waiting for a product that would do more than just record and send videos. Hippo Video, with its landing pages, teleprompter, and variable text offers functionality I think I will use and have not seen in competing products.
Pros
Recording a video is easy, but what convinced me to try Hippo Video were the landing pages. I have not yet fully exploited this capability but intend to construct custom landing pages designed to get customers and prospects to take action. The ability to add more videos and documents to the landing page provides the opportunity to highlight aspects of my services that would be otherwise communicated through email attachments or clicking on links, which some people are hesitant to do.
I have recorded from the camera alone to make personalized one-off messages to selected customers, with good results. They watched the videos and responded to set up meetings. I also made a video with screen recording. That worked OK and I liked being able to show material as I was talking about it. I plan to do more of this.
Cons
I was disappointed that I Hippo Video could not interface with my desktop version of Outlook 365, but I bought the software anyway. After making a video, the software supplies a link and an animated GIF that I can easily paste into an outbound Outlook email message. It's an extra step, but was not a deal-breaker for me.
I struggled with the screen capture interface at first. It wasn't clear that Hippo started another instance of the browser. I kept looking for something to be happening on my screen, never realizing Hippo was waiting for me to respond on the second browser screen. Once I figured that out, the process went smoothly.
