RecBeamAsync video messaging means recording a short video, sharing a link, and letting people watch and reply later. With RecBeam you record in Chrome, get a private link in minutes, and viewers can react and comment.
What it is
Async means not at the same time. An async video message is a short recording, usually of your screen and your voice, that you send as a link. Compared with a long email it is clearer, and compared with a meeting it costs nobody a calendar slot. If you are weighing it up, read async vs sync communication.

- Record, then stop. The video uploads automatically.

Questions
What is async video messaging?
Sharing a recorded video instead of holding a live meeting, so the viewer can watch whenever it suits them and reply afterwards.
How is it different from a meeting?
A meeting needs everyone present at the same time. A video message is recorded once, watched at any time, and can be skimmed with a transcript.
Is there a free asynchronous video messaging app?
RecBeam has a free Starter plan with 5-minute recordings at 720p, transcripts, captions, search and share links.
Can teammates reply?
Yes. Viewers can react and comment, and guests can comment when you enable guest comments.
Does it work with Slack?
On the Business + AI plan RecBeam offers Slack recaps and link unfurls.
