"Most efficient method I have encountered to create videos for students"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

VidGrid is a quick and easy way for me to create and upload videos for my students. Anytime that they are having trouble with a concept, or I just want to review instructions for using a graphing calculator, I can make a video within minutes to assist them. With distance learning such a large part of what I do now, being able to make videos quickly and efficiently is important. With prior methods, it seemed like it would take an hour just to create a 10 minute video! Once my college adopted VidGrid, and linked it with our SSO process, I definitely started creating more videos for my students because the process was made so much easier.

"Solid, Simple to Use, With World Class Service!"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

The high touch customer service is by far my favorite part of using VidGrid. The support staff responds quickly, is extremely knowledgeable, and is genuinely very nice. They have consistently helped us through complicated self-inflicted support issues, and will consistently go the extra mile to ensure we're running at peak performance.

I'd say the simplicity of the platform comes in a very close second. VidGrid is powerful yet refreshingly easy to use. They avoid impractical and unnecessary features often touted by their competitors, and instead deliver a reliable service that just works.

Lastly, I LOVE the integrated captioning features, which have helped us maintain legal accessibility compliance for several years now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

I think VidGrid would benefit from adding adaptive encoding to help ensure streams to remote locations run even more smoothly.

It would also be nice to have more user levels, like a super-admin, and various tiers of contributors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"VidGrid is an essential tool for Higher Ed"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

The in video quizzing, sleek interface and LMS integration make for a fantastic product. I would have to say my favorite feature is the guest link capability, where students can click a link and upload a video submission. I recommend this workflow all the time to my faculty. Also, the replace video feature is a huge time saver. No updating links... just replace the video with the new one and keep on going, it is genius! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

There is little we dislike about VidGrid, in fact, I don't know that there is a feature I could even say the word "dislike" about in regard to this company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An Easy Way for Instructors to Provide Feedback to Students"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

VidGrid is incredibly easy to use! You can use it as a screen recorder, and customize the size of the screen. You can use it for webcam recordings alone or have a webcam video inside the screen recording. Of course you can resize the webcam video and move it around. This makes answering questions and providing feedback to students so much more personal. The entire recording process is so simple, it doesn't take long. Getting the videos to others is easy as well, you just send the link. As all your videos are kept in one place, you can reuse them or go back and edit them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

The only thing I would ask for, is more editing capabilities - like adding music. But, the simplicity of the editor also makes for non-complicated editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Training videos made easy"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

VidGrid makes creating short training videos and tutorials so simple and easy. One of my office's main responsibilities is managing student housing - and we use an online system for students to find roommates and select their room. With VidGrid, we can share short videos to assist students with the process - making the whole process more efficient for everyone! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

Not much to dislike -- so easy to use! I do need to take some time to learn more about their captioning options and editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see a feature in which we could take input from multiple different cameras and angles to make press-conferences or interview like scenarios easier to accomplish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

VidGrid gave our team and operations a platform to easily record video to capture process and "how to" content, but more importantly it has helped our organization work with remote employees and improve engagement across the enterprise.

Plus the customer service is second to none, I am not that techy and they have helped me become a power users with the online tutorials and the instant help from their support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

Nothing at this time, can think of anything that I would ask to improve upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"VidGrid - The future of Educational Videos"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

VidGrid has a lot of basic tools that allow for quick and easy screen captures. VidGrid can also be integrated into multiple LMS and allow graded quizzes created on the videos. Adding closed captions (at a reasonable price) is very quick and easy to do as well. The Guest Recorder feature allows instructors to let students use VidGrid within the instructors account, which can keep all video recordings for a class organized and managed easily.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

There isn't multiple bitrate for video playback, but I'm pretty sure VidGrid is planning to add this in future versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
