it is good and stuff but it makes my computer lag for some reason… i dont know why but it is good anyways
I wish I could go lower than one star. This app works for like 30 seconds then crashes in the middle of my recording. Would not recommend.
great job
Used this extension 3 years ago and just went to go use it again and not only have there been zero updates, it actually seems to have gotten worse given after clicking record, NOTHING happens.
Might as well be abandonware from what I can tell.
It worked but I was r=trying to make a YouTube video where I react to my show and the was no audio my screen was glitching and when i turned it off it worked fine so doe s anyo\one know how toe improve this if yo can please tell me.
At first it seemed pretty cool until it was time for me to download it and found out i have to pay for that. They make it seem like it’s free to do the whole thing. Waste of my time… smh.
I Havent Used It Yet But Im Going To Do Draw My Life For Youtube And Lets Hope This Will Work
Excrement!
I downloaded it, when I did I watched a tutorial and when i tried it out for myself I clicked “start recording” and it didn’t give me a count down like it said it would and it didn’t record neither me nor my screen
I have tried for the last time to use this extension. It loses more videos due to ‘corrupt’ recordings than I can describe. I am SO disappointed it screwed up another video demo I did today. I appreciate the try from Wistia to create this extension, but this is the worst.
The web video editor leaves a lot to be desired. It’s really hard to see what frame you’re on, anytime you click on the timeline the entire clip jumps, it doesn’t work well for large video files, and there are very few options for transitions or layouts. Nice idea, but the video editor needs a lot of love.
Amazing perfect for making youtube videos and love the editing highly recommend for anyone trying to start a youtube channel.
THIS IS LITTERALY TRASH WHY YOU CHARGE SO MUCH I HATE THIS STUPID THING I JUST WANT TO RECORD!?!
It’s a RAM hog and it doesn’t work half the time. I read their troubleshooting page, but everything appears to set correctly with troubleshooting. Too much effort to get it up and running.
Very Misleading
I add this and create an account believing that it was going to be free or at least cheap. After i record a 15 minute video and upload it so i can download it, I get told that i have to pay for a premium account. Which is $25 a MONTH. Its fine if you want to charge that much for something you can do for free with any editing software, but at least mention that you aren’t able to download videos without dipping into your trust funds.
Simply didn’t work for me. The blue icon never turned pink, the “my videos” page was just filled with marketing material…the user interface is so minimal that it’s impossible to know if it was loading, or if I had done something wrong, or if it was a bug with the software. If you are going to dumb everything down so much you have to make the software smarter.
Does anyone know of any great alternatives to soapbox? I have had a very poor experience with Wistea and unfortunately I signed up for the 1 year plan 🙁 They don’t have a customer service department, live chat, or any method to help customers problem shoot other than submitting a ticket and praying they answer. It is impossible to get anyone on the phone to assist at this company so you have to be very tech savvy and a true DIY person to have success in my opinion.
You cannot download the video without paying. Couldn’t figure out how to just record the screen without webcam or sound..
When I grant permissions it doesnt let me. It says error then moves me to the next step, even though I cant even use it because permissions arent having the ability to be granted even though Im granting them. I wont say I hate it because I have havent used it and simply because other reviews are saying its a fine screen recorder, thats why I have it as “Disliked it”.
I could never hear myself when i watched it after i filmed
Very usefull tool. But it’s unreasonably expensive in my opinion. For future projects I’ll be looking for alternatives just because of the price.
It was really good and easy to use, but I was upset that I could not turn off face-cam. I’m upset. So maybe make facecam and microphone optional?
