"Vidgrid in community college setting"
3.5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

We use Vidgrid in our community college to easily upload videos to our LMS. Vidgrid offers an easy way to upload, edit and manage videos for busy instructors. They also have awesome response on their chat help. I love the analytics provided on how many views a video has received. It helps track popular videos and what sections are being viewed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

Everything I have tried to utilize on Vidgrid has been to my liking. I don't see anything I would change. Overall quality is great and the service is user friendly. Tutorials are helpful. The Editing side is a little light but for most purposes it serves its purpose.

One time I tried to upload a longer video that was too large and I had to break it into two videos but other that that everything is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple is key"
4/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

The software is incredibly simple to use. I am not a tech-savvy person in the slightest, yet our IT folk were able to easily help me learn the software. VidGrid has been able to bring many tools into one, easy to use, package. Before this I would record, edit, and share all through different tools and would often need to reach out to our IT people to help me as it was a lot to remember, but I have not had that issue since switching to this software.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

Sometimes I feel as though the software is slow. This, however could be my University's end of things. Other than that I have not had any problems with the software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidGrid?

We started looking at VidGrid for captioning but soon found that it has a host of options. My favorite thing is that it is simple yet powerful depending on what you are needing at that moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

We seem to have some trouble with integration/authentication in Canvas with a Mac. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidGrid?

Great interface and functionalities. Full integration with Canvas LMS. Easy on the budget. User-friendly captioning services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

There are some minor flaws with the recorders when recording multiple sources of audio - but to be fair, it is still a lot better than some of the other products/platforms I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great and Clean"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

The simplicity of how the recording software works and is integrated with the online webpage software, how it is easy to share and edit videos and folders of videos with multiple people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

Sometimes the software that you see when recording can be a bit too simple for some users and they aren't sure where to start. This is always easily remedied after showing them how to use it and they pick it up like riding a bike every time after Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy, Simple, and Powerful"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

I use VidGrid on a weekly basis to upload instructional videos for online teaching. VidGrid is incredibly user-friendly and easy to use. Simply drag and drop to upload and then it begins to process videos. I am also incredibly impressed with the integrated machine captioning of videos as well as the interface for editing and correcting captions. The caption typeface is easy to read.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

There is nothing that I dislike. The software works exactly as I want it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great looking and working Software"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

The clean look for both the site and software. It is easy to look at and see what you are doing and what you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

Wish there was an option for co-ownership of videos so multiple people could have equal total access to videos. EDIT: Getting this functionality was misunderstood by our team, it is all available by giving them editing permissions which is not inherently given to videos that have been shared in a folder, you have to also explicitly give them editing permissions on the videos inside.

"VidGrid, faculty AND support techs love it! "
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

VidGrid has a user interface that is very easy to figure out or train on. Most faculty members need extensive instruction on new digital tools, but with VidGrid, it usually isn't needed. For those that do need it, VidGrid has THE BEST training of any digital tools I currently support. The interactivity and social (commenting) features are fantastic and my faculty are adopting it and requesting access at a fantastic rate! Support has been nothing less than a 10, I love the the chat is available whenever I need them and if they aren't online, they reach out to me quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

My only dislike is that when the site is busy, you can have some slow rendering times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidGrid?

Our college recently purchased a subscription to VidGrid. I signed up for an account and found it very easy to use. There are tutorials for those who don't want to learn by just clicking around. It loads quickly and has nice features. One of the things I really like about it is the captioning feature with manual editing capability. I had a deaf student who struggled with vocabulary. During class, she had to split her attention between me and the sign language interpreters. I started recording and captioning lessons for her. She could play them and slow down the speed in order to read the captions. She ended up getting a 96% on her government test because she had access to this resource.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

I wish the caption colors could be changed at will. Visibility can be affected by the color of the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Video Platform for Business"
5/5
What do you like best about VidGrid?

VidGrid makes it easy to share information, teach new tasks, capture the expertise of SMEs, and even retain knowledge during the employee exit process.

You can create a simple informational video, or get creative and add quizzes, chapters, video tags (using the Description field). It is also compatible with our LMS.

The editing functionality is simple and not expansive, but it works very well and does what I need it to do.

The foldering capability makes it easy to share directed information to specific groups and/or individuals.

Above all, the customer service is PHENOMENAL. The entire VidGrid team is extremely responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidGrid?

I pretty much love everything about VidGrid. Any suggestions I may have for future enhancements are minor and have been shared directly with the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
