Introducing video messages in Chat, a new feature that helps you save time, convey more information, add tone or emphasis, and can be useful in a variety of situations, such as:
-
Sales or customer service team members who send video updates about new features or account changes.
-
Executives share company-wide announcements or strategic updates, fostering transparency and engagement across the organization.
-
Team members sending a video with pending updates instead of attending a live meeting.
This update offers users more flexibility in how they communicate within the chat.
It’s important to note that video messages cannot be recorded on the following browsers and operating systems: ChromeOS, Linux, and Firefox.
In the future, we plan to add transcription services to video messages, which will further enhance the experience. The transcription feature is already available for voice messages; if you’d like to learn more, we invite you to read our article.
In the meantime, we encourage content creators to consider their target audience and ensure their content is accessible and equitable.
How to send a video message?
To record a video message, select the record button in the chat compose box and click “Video Message.” Then, simply record your message and press Send. This new feature will allow you to:
-
Preview or re-record your video before sending your video message.
-
Send video messages in 1:1 DMs, group DMs, and spaces, and you can interact with them (quote them, react to them, reply to them in a thread, etc.) just like any other chat message.
-
Video messages will be stored in the Media section of the Shared tab.
-
Send video messages on the web and receive them on all platforms. The ability to record and send video messages on mobile devices is not currently available.
