Chose Wistia Record
Where Zoom and GoToMeeting focus on the meeting itself, Soapbox goes more in-depth and gives the structure that a lot of managers are looking for. In my case, it was the question prompts, shared meeting notes, and meeting feedback that provided the most value. Seeing changes to …
Chose Wistia Record
In terms of usability, Soapbox trumps Loom, Vidyard, and the recently released Drift Video. I'll be honest -- the integrations and live chat functions on Drift Video are attractive, but I still prefer the simplicity of Soapbox.
However, reliability is where Soapbox could …

If you work in a customer-facing role like sales, customer success, or support, you may find this nifty tool extremely useful. If a picture says 1000 words, a video can tell a million, and with Soapbox, you can quickly record screen sharing videos (as well as your webcam) to deliver a personalized message to your leads or customers. What I've found especially useful about Soapbox when compared to other tools is the ability to select when to show a full or split-screen video of either the webcam or the screen. It truly adds a professional touch to your videos, and they seem so much more personal that way. I love that it's so easy to embed a GIF into an email, and the usability is good all around.

We haven't had the chance to reach out to Wistia about Soapbox support, but I know Wistia (as a brand) is epic on all fronts -- sales, marketing & support. So if I had the need to reach out, I'm sure I'd get a reply in a prompt and satisfactory manner.
