Hey Product Hunt!
Great to be back on here. Big ups to @erictwillis for hunting us 🙌
Openvid is a the easiest way for anyone to quickly record your screen, mic, and (optionally!) front-facing camera on any URL. Want to easily QA your new mock ups? Give feedback to a friend on their site? Create a quick tutorial for your product? Openvid let’s you do that for free without having to worry about video storage, upload time, or recording time limits.
YUUGE shout out to the rest of the team behind this @yoyo_thomas & @vhmth ⚡

@vhmth @_shahedk @erictwillis @yoyo_thomas Would be great to have a countdown option before the recording starts, and would it be possible to add control over which camera is used?

@webtech @_shahedk @erictwillis @yoyo_thomas both great ideas. Added the countdown to the roadmap. Joe had brought this up previously. That's Joe 2 - Vinay 0 for feature requests from people. :-P
Will add the control over the camera to the roadmap as well. Do you currently use multiple cams?

@vhmth @_shahedk @erictwillis @yoyo_thomas I have 3 when using my Surface in the dock - front and back on the device and then the attached web cam. Could be a programming challenge just to cater to oddballs like me, but that would be yuuge.

@webtech @_shahedk @erictwillis @yoyo_thomas let's make it happen. I can't guaranteed that it will be right away since it's not one of our more highly requested features, but it's now on our radar. When it happens, it will be YUUUUUGE! :D

@_shahedk @erictwillis @yoyo_thomas @vhmth does it also record the sound playing on your computer?

@colindevs @_shahedk @erictwillis @yoyo_thomas as of right now it does not, but we will definitely introduce that. We shipped with the mic for now (which will pick up on sounds from your computer if you're not using your headphones), but we did not do this initially because we're trying to figure out a good balance of system and mic audio so you can clearly hear both at the appropriate time (mixing two audio streams).

@_shahedk great product! Any chance of moving outside chrome and allow to record anything on a Mac (like recordit)?

@leozakour Yes - that's definitely in our roadmap. If you'd like us to build it out sooner, we actually have a public feature board now: https://opentest.co/requests !!
