## Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) Reviews
  ### 1. An easy to use tool to help with screen video recording with editing options

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stephanie M. | Engineering Manager, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 28, 2023

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I liked how it was easy to get it up and running. I often need to record my screen while doing demos of my team's changes/new features, and this allows me to easily do a screen recording. It's also handy to be used to record the replication steps of bugs encountered.

I also use it on a personal level and not just work in order to work on personal demos on my side projects, and it's handy to use!

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Free version limits, I find, are small, and you have to get around it by deleting old footage but all in all, it's not too bad. 

Editing: I find it's been on the slow side the last few times I've used it. I have a good internet connection, so not sure if their servers are just overloaded.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Giving me a mostly reliable tool to screen capture for the purposes of showing replication steps for bugs and walking through new features my teams are building every 2 weeks.

So far, it helps me in a way that I need to do a video recording as soon as possible, and then I use this app since I know that it takes less time to finish and use, and it's a good catch.

Able to convey information quickly by recording it for teammates.

  ### 5. AMAZING EXPERIENCE CONVEYING WITH VIDEO

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Cristián A. | Co-founder / Project Manager, Animation, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

the facility to send video messages to all our customers

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

maybe It could have more tools to customize the videos

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Differentiate ourselves from the competition by creating much more attractive communication channels

  ### 6. Amazing tool for quick personal videos and much more

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ryan Z. | Global Marketing & Communications Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2021

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

The tool is so easy to use and the functionality is truly awesome.  The editing features are super intuitive and then sharing videos is even easier.  It's so nice to have one place to host these videos.  The tool is super reliable and allows the user to make MANY videos really quickly and then share them just as efficiently.  The paid version allows you to download the MP4 if you want to upload natively to things like LinkedIn or other social media platforms.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Sometimes after recording i've had connection issues where the video failed to upload, but this is super rare and I think it's more my wifi connectivity than the tool's fault. Other than that there's very little to dislike.  I think the analytics could be a little better as the charting function is a little clunky, but i'm being really picky if I'd say I dislike it. just an area for improvement i guess.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

It's free to use! So definitely jump right in and start trying it out for yourself.  Wistia has tons of support videos to help you get started and then if you really like it you can opt to upgrade to the paid version where you can get some more information on the analytics and even download the MP4 if you want to upload it to another platform or even social media.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Soapbox provides a super clean and easy way to create personalized videos and host/share them quickly.  Otherwise we would have to resort to downloading video files and sending them as attachments which is just a bad UX for everyone involved. Soapbox really solves all these issues.

  ### 7. Great screen recording Chrome Extension

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** KyleQC Q. | eCom director at QuikCamo, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 21, 2021

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

It is free and easy to use. The trimming functionality is great

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I wish you could record without seeing your face, at least on the free account I can't. You can however remove your face and just show the screen when you're editing after.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

I would recommend using it over Loom if you want to be able to record longer videos for free.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have recorded processes for my business so I or my te remember how to perform tasks

  ### 8. quick and dirty everyday with easy export for extended servcies

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bret B. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 03, 2021

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I like the easy screen recording and ability to share immediately with clients or prospects with a very easy-to-use embedded video in email.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

it is just a chrome extension, which is fine.  Just to expect more than it is.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

Try the free version first, and make sure you think of Soapbox as a distinct software from the parent company's Wistia video hosting.  If you do eventually need to download your videos instead of using the native soapbox hosting and player, you will need to upgrade your account to a paid version.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use it to help our clients have a visual walkthru with our Benefits/Insurance enrollment website.  Not only do we guide them how to make their enrollments, but also give helpful tips about how to maximize their resources at different insurance vendor member portals.

  ### 9. One of the most helpful tools for teaching others!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I love that it's a user accessible platform, and it's browser friendly - I can use it within chrome as an extension. I like that I can share my screen and split it so you can see me talking and what I'm showing or teaching.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I don't like that there isn't a desktop app and that you can't see past recorded videos in one place.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a teacher, if I am absent, this is a great way to record a lesson easily and share with students. I've also used this to teach skills to consultants and used it as a reference point for difficult to master skills or processes

  ### 10. It's the best that I can find

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eric S. | Course Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2020

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Soapbox is pretty simple to use and navigate. You don't have to avoid the "select a plan" screen like others in order to record and set up your videos. Some of my colleagues use other ones because they work better on their computers, but I think Soapbox has the least issues of the ones I've tried (Hippo and Loom are the others) on my computer. Other tools show you your face when you are making a screencast and recording your face, but I like that Soapbox doesn't because that takes up space I want on my screen for my presentations.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Every screen recording tool I've used has glitches. Some of my colleagues use other ones because they work better on their computers, I think Soapbox has the least issues of the ones I've tried (Hippo and Loom are the others) on my computer. Every once in a while you will make a recording and the file gets corrupted when Soapbox is putting it together (this happens on every tool I've tried), and sometimes the audio and video get out of sync, or the audio cuts out. You need to review the video before sending a screencast to someone because it could have really bad audio, even if it seems fine when you watch it. If you just watch the video in the editing screen it gives you, it will seem fine, so what you need to do is copy the link to share it and open it up that way. Then it will give you the real experience. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get a video to record where the video and audio are clean. Sometimes I give up because it's not worth the time anymore. But for my computer, I'm pretty sure Soapbox works better than the other ones I've used.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

See above

  ### 11. soapbox is a great way for quick and personal communication with limitations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dylan G. | Content Marketer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Easy to use and available on most laptops nowadays. Can just click a few buttons, record, edit, and send off. We use it mainly to explain things which is easier to do with video rather than a long email or long meeting.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Not much to dislike. It does its job and you'll get out what you put in.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

It's great for communicating more complicated things with people who you can't meet directly with (or don't want to). Better than a long-winded email.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Communication and lots of time-saving, especially when using it to communicate with clients. Also, ease of content creation.

  ### 12. SO effective for prospecting and marketing communications

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Justin C. | Owner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2020

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Best part of Soapbox for me is that creates the feeling of a well produced and edited video for the viewer. However, because it's a one-take video tool in actuality, it also makes a video come across as very organic and not superficially produced.

If you have some visuals or slide decks to accompany your video message, it's perfect that you can choose between the camera, the screen, or camera+screen in a side-by-side format.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

It would be helpful if there were just a few more post-recording editing features. Specifically, the simple ability to clip out small portions in post-production would allow you to just stop talking for a brief moment and re-start a sentence if you feel like something needed to be presented better. 

(At the same time, the lack of those editing features has forced me to become a more articulate and conscientious presenter).

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

It's very inexpensive for the ability to quickly create impactful video messaging that sticks. I would definitely use it if you are using Wistia as well. You can easily grab the share link for your Soapbox video to paste into anywhere else, but you can also easily export it to a project in my Wistia account.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

People are just so much more willing to watch a video than to read a long string of text. My open and click rates for my automated marketing campaigns have gone up since I started using a Soapbox video as the main core of my e-newsletter messages.

It also helps leads & prospects to retain information better. I find less prospects emailing me back with questions about things I already sent them content about, because they watched the content rather than having to read it.

  ### 13. Such a unique tool for your business.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Erica S. | CEO / Creative Community Relations Director, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 22, 2019

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

You can switch between screen sharing and facetime or split the screen to show both.  This is so cool because it allows you to better connect to people who are watching your video.  It makes how to videos so much easier and more efficient.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

You have to be ready for the camera because you cant see yourself when you record.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

This is a cool way to connect to your customers and your followers.  Like a live podcast where you can show your face and your screen!

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our clients don't necessarily have to video chat with us during the day but instead can choose to watch our soapbox video whenever they have a convenient time, so it's nice.

  ### 14. Easily create great content

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Hannah H. | VP of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2018

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Soapbox is so easy to use to shoot videos and then embed in emails to clients. We have used it a lot for sales and for client services. 

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

When they click the video it does take them off of the page or email. You cannot watch the video where it is. This may just be because we use the free version. But it is kind of annoying that the video has to open on a new page. 

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

Getting a paid version is worth it, if you use video to enhance your customer experience and use it for education. Start with the free version, but I promise you, after the 3 videos, you will want to create more. They have great support so if you are struggling with the decision of paying for a paid version, talk to someone on their team and they will give you some ideas. 

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to answer questions and make content in a way that is more engaging for the clients. No one wants to read a long walkthrough email. We use them to demonstrate how to use a platform or show clients data. 

  ### 15. Best for creating tutorial videos

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ishan S. | Customer Success Manager, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

The ease and simplicity of soapbox are what makes it a hands-on tool. It's simplicity automatically drives its usage. 

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Currently, the editing options are limited I would have liked some more options in order to make video experience better for my viewers.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

Go for the paid version I believe it has a lot more features than the free one.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I take care of customer queries where I am asked million "how to" questions. With soapbox I record my screen showing my customers how to perform certain tasks using our tool, the best is I am able to narrate at the same time which makes it very easy for my customer to understand and follow the instructions. I also use soapbox to make introduction videos where I introduce my self as the account manager to my customers. 

  ### 16. Soapbox review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kayla M. | Programs Executive, Publishing, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 08, 2019

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

When I used this software I liked how easy it was to use and how it made video production and sharing presentations easy.  It also was very visually pleasing, and again, simple to use.  Even the free version gives you a lot to work with.  I also liked that it was a Chrome extension so it didn't take up too much memory and I didn't have to download something completely new.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I disliked that sometimes the editing section would glitch, but that could have been an error on my end, not necessarily the software's.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

Do not give up on the software if the editing section glitches on you.  You may just need to restart your computer.  Customer service is also helpful with figuring that out.  It is a very simple and useful software to use so give it a chance, it will do wonders for your team.  When I start recruiting more people onto our team that is working remotely/from home, I will be sure to start using Soapbox again.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I solved being able to present decks to the team and share my screen with them to do tutorials on how to do page layouts on InDesign and how to do certain graphics.  Benefits I realized was it would now be easier to bring graphic designers on to the team who do not live near me, since I would be able to share my screen with them and show them how I want certain pages to be formatted and clear up any confusion.

  ### 17. Amazing Video Editor

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lynn S. | Founder, Writer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2018

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I love the bells and whistles you can add to your videos, like adding a relevant link, or the ability to have someone enter their email address in order to watch a video. 

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I do understand why they want their branding on there - of course it would be nice to not have the Wistia branding, but not complaining about a free account. 

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

Give it a try - it's free as long as you're good with the Wistia branding. 

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main benefit is to help me, as a beginner in using video for my own company, is that I can add so many things to existing videos without having to start again with all new videos from scratch. 

  ### 18. Awesome Video Recorder to Marketing

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven T. | Marketing Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2018

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I like the ability to record both yourself and the computer screen at the same time - then share it out. It's a lifesaver when trying to do quick product explainers. It allows me to use a personal touch in addition to showing complicated products on screen.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

It's a process to tie it with Wistia's main product and leverage it with analytics. Not a big deal, but it could be improved a bit.

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

It's a great tool if you want to do simple videos, where you show your face (give a human element to your business) and where you want to show product demonstrations.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Video marketing on products.

  ### 19. Soapbox: easy to use and adds value with minimum effort

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amanda M. | Marketing Director, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Easy screen recording and video editing functions. 

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Wish there was the ability to cut out a mistake in the middle. 

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

It's free to try!

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

For 1:1 product tutorials specifically, we've found it's helpful to introduce ourselves face-to-face alongside our typical screen recordings. Being a video company ourselves, we create a ton of [mostly animated] video content, and Soapbox is a great addition to our toolkit. 

  ### 20. Great for specialized jobs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

It is unique to me, I make videos, so I like the video making part.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

There are some glitches still and that slows me down a lot.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's like creating a new industry so not really solving just adding value.

  ### 21. Barely works, horrible support

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 17, 2018

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I like the functionality of it, the editing capabilities are pretty good when it actually works

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Support - takes them 24-48 hours to get back to serious issues
Export - often doesn't work properly. Meaning that edits made in Soapbox are often not reflected when we export it to Wistia
Editing - although it's a pro, it's also a con. Hubspot's video platform has the same functionality (even slightly better) and makes more sense as an add-on.
Soapbox pro - I hate that we can't do everything in one platform. It makes no sense to have Soapbox and then a Wistia account.
Did I mention their support is horrendous? They aren't helpful at all, don't take ownership over outages and just generally awful

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Internal communications, marketing/acquisition


  ### 22. Wistia Soapbox 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

I like being able to easily capture short videos to personalize my communications with prospects and to grab their attention and stand out.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

The functionality can be a bit limited.  Wish there were more special effects and editing capabilities. 

**Recommendations to others considering Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox):**

If you need anything complex in terms of editing and creative liberty, look into other products. Great for simple videos. 

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am sending short videos introducing myself to prospects with a light description of our product. It is an engaging way to connect with them.

  ### 23. Great extension to an already great platform

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 10, 2019

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Because it's an extension on Wistia, it's backed by super powerful platform for all of our video needs. Very simple to use.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

There's not much I can say I dislike. Maybe depending on your specific needs it's not as powerful as something like Camtasia...

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used it internally to create quick videos to share new processes. Making a video is much easier than writing out steps and people learn much much quicker by seeing and listening vs. just reading an email.

  ### 24. Easy to Use and implement

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Elijah S. | Account Clerk III, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

Easy to use and show onscreen information to those who we are trying to reach.

**What do you dislike about Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox)?**

The interface was a little difficult to navigate when we first started, but a little experience helps.

**What problems is Video Recording in Wistia (formerly Soapbox) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're using it for app tutorials for others.

  ### 25. Soapbox Is A Great Software to Make Presenations Really Pop

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)
