@vhmth @opentest Hi Vinay, I really love the simplicity of using Openvid and it's minimalist design. Is there a way to stop audio from recording though? There's a video on/off button but none for audio that I can seem to find.

@vhmth @opentest Ooh I like this video response style! :)
Specifically at my work, we share internal testing videos between the QA and dev teams.
Right now it involves using Jing to capture screen recordings and sharing it through Slack, etc.
Since most of these recordings are in the work environment with an open space layout, it's generally preferable to make the recordings with no audio.
This leads me to another request. It would be great if sharing the Openvid URLs in Slack would allow inline video playback. That's one of the biggest annoyances with Jing (even though it's just one click to open the share links in a browser window :) )

@nilayk @opentest I really love using our tool to add emotional context to support answers. :-) It's made this launch 100x easier!
Proper Facebook OG tags are high on our priority list. I personally want Slack inline videos to work as well since our team practically lives on Slack. You will have your way soon Nilay!

@vhmth @opentest Sounds like a good idea, I too shall try to add emotional contexts to support videos whenever possible. Best of luck with the next phases of development and congratulations on the product launch!
