"HippoVideo fully featured"
5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

Teleprompter is neat. The landing pages that can be created can really add a full experience for your message and prospects. The email opens and tracking is top notch, alerting you to traffic you are getting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

on a Mac sometimes the extension freezes, and upon startup, it loads and does not automatically minimize. Could be a setting that I have yet to turn off. the extension does not remember my default set up always asking me to select screen, camera, or both. needs to be a setting to remember the last use.

"Best Video Platform For The Serious Online Salesperson"
5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

All the ways it integrates into my existing workflows is incredible. So many options! And it's literally the easiest platform I've used for recording. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

Honestly, the dashboard is so full of options I can get overwhelmed or lost. It would be better if it were more simplified, but then it wouldn't have all the goodies I like! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Screen vids but so much more"
4/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

I initially bought this product to make take screen vids and make training vids for a new software product, which is awesome... but there is so much more. I`m now working on some demo vids to send directly via email and add to our website. I`m still learning but I`m very happy with my purchase to date.

I`m using this product about once a week now and have issues with it at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I wanted to use Hippo for screen recording on my Ipad pro but after a lot of back and forth with support I was advised its not possible. I hope this changes at some point, as I`m sure this would be beneficial for many users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great integration options"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

I like that there are many integration options with hippo. For one, the option to add a plug-in for Chrome browser and record videos easily without needing to open hippo every time. Our team also uses Hubspot and Intercom and we have integrated Hippo into both of these apps and makes it easier for us to access our recorded videos / embed videos into our emails Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

Editing a video is a little challenging - while I do like the options that are available, it takes a while to figure out what to click / understand how to use the editing tools. The preview screen of the video is also really small - so when I'm trying to do a voice over and see what is happening in the video - it's hard to see and so makes it a little more challenging to add my voice over in. Getting my hubspot account integrated was also tricky and took us a while to figure out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cool functionalities, easy to learn how to use, but poorly organized"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

Landing page for the video with all the integrated widgets to: contact me, schedule a meeting, register to our hub, etc. I also like that there are different ways to make videos, choose my view, page to record on, how to insert my own face, etc.

I think in terms of quality of videos creation, it's one of the best and the onboarding process was super quick and easy with a lot of (not necessary) support and team coaching. Had I never used another service prior, I would have greatly enjoyed this onboarding process.

I don't understand how much more content you expect for me to fulfill this request of 30$. I've put in all the content I could, yet the bar does not ever fill more. This is starting to feel like a scam and I will delete my review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I find the whole video viewing page shows nice features but the whole integration process of it is rather lengthy.

The video sort area is also cumbersome and thought to navigate. It's cool that we can create folders and whatnot, but every time I want to share a video, they AGAIN ask me for the email information. There should be an easy access button when you click "share now" is JUST for sharing right away, not to share via email and all other integrations.

The onboarding process was a few hours too long. It should have been tailored to our team based on the fact that we used other similar products in the past.

It's also easy to get lost in all the different integrations and capabilities. This product should just be simpler, like why do I need all these buttons? Can't I just choose what I want to have on my dashboard instead? Why is it all hardcoded in, make it more user-friendly and customizable!

I don't understand how much more content you expect for me to fulfill this request of 30$. I've put in all the content I could, yet the bar does not ever fill more. This is starting to feel like a scam and I will delete my review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hippo Video for the win!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

Hippo video helps me to create highly interactive, attention-grabbing videos right where I need them... in LinkedIn messages, in my email inbox--wherever I may need it! The interface is highly intuitive and with the Chrome extension and desktop app available to me, it's extremely simple to get started. I'm also really happy with how responsive customer support has been. Anytime that I've run into a question, they are swift to answer. Finally, I think it's amazing that they keep innovating the product, improving the editor and adding some AI-based features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I'd like to see some improvement so my ability to quickly sort videos into folders of my choice on the back end. It's a minor annoyance at best but as I continue to accumulate and create new videos, it is becoming more of an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use Full Featured and Price Plans to Fit Your Needs"
5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

I love all the different plans and that the free plan allows you to save an unlimited amount of 15-minute videos. They have different price plans for all your needs. I also love the flexibility to personalize your recordings. There is so much more here than I've seen with other screen recording products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I haven't had enough time to try out every cool feature. I like that it integrates with so many platforms, but the sheer amount of options can be a little overwhelming. If I had a wish, it would be that the free membership could save unlimited 30-minute videos instead of 15-minute ones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Video Prospecting Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

The ease of use and the UI is excellent! It allows our team to move quickly and track our audiences and prospects' engagement with the content we create. Its a tool that every sales team should have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

I don't dislike anything at the moment. Learning the tool has been easy; there are some kinks or errors I've come across, but most end up being user errors more than platform issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes my life SO much easier!"
5/5
What do you like best about Hippo Video?

Use on any device seemlessly. The teleprompter was a welcome surprise -- didn't know about it when I purchased! Being able to drop videos into emails is simply a game-changer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hippo Video?

As a non-marketer, non-video person, took me a bit of learning, but not difficult. Just needed to invest a little time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
