   Video communications software facilitates asynchronous communication through video, allowing users to record their screen, camera, or both, share recordings via link, and enable viewers to watch on their own time and leave comments, helping distributed teams communicate more efficiently without scheduling synchronous meetings.

### Core Capabilities of Video Communications Software

To qualify for inclusion in the Video Communications category, a product must:

- Record a user's screen, camera, or both simultaneously
- Provide multiple ways to share the recorded video such as links, email, text message, or integrations with other tools
- Allow users to engage with content via comments, shares, and likes
- Provide a library to store and organize recordings
- Provide the ability to edit recorded videos

### Common Use Cases for Video Communications Software

Video communications tools are used across teams and job functions to replace long emails, reduce meeting load, and enhance knowledge sharing. Common use cases include:

- Recording screen-share walkthroughs to explain complex processes or provide product feedback
- Sharing async video updates with distributed teams to reduce time spent on recurring status meetings
- Embedding recorded videos in emails, wikis, or landing pages to improve communication reach

### How Video Communications Software Differs from Other Tools

Video communications software is distinct from [video conferencing software](https://www.g2.com/categories/video-conferencing), which facilitates live, synchronous meetings. Video communications platforms are built for asynchronous, on-demand viewing, complementing synchronous tools rather than replacing them. They are also often used alongside [internal communications software](https://www.g2.com/categories/internal-communications) and [email](https://www.g2.com/categories/email) to enhance the effectiveness of traditional communication methods.

Based on category trends on G2, ease of recording and shareable link functionality stand out as top strengths. These platforms deliver reductions in unnecessary meetings and improved clarity of async communication as primary outcomes of adoption.
