Video messages
A group card where the team can say it on video
Everyone writes their message, and anyone who wants to can add a YouTube or Vimeo video to it — a toast from the team, a song, a clip from the last offsite. It plays right inside the card, next to everyone’s words. Free.
How it works
Signers paste a link
On their own signing page they press Add a video and paste a YouTube or Vimeo link. Public and unlisted videos both work.
You decide what goes on
Turn videos on or off for each card and, if you like, approve each one before anyone else sees it. Videos you don’t approve aren’t sent.
It plays on the day
The card arrives sealed on the date you pick. Each video waits behind its own play button and starts when the person it’s for presses play.
What you get, free
- Up to 10 video messages per card
- YouTube and Vimeo, public or unlisted
- Optional approval before a video appears
- Nothing loads from YouTube or Vimeo until someone presses play
- Plays inside the card, in the slideshow and the page-turning card alike
- No accounts for signers; each gets their own email invite
- A report button under every video
- Photos and GIFs for anyone who’d rather not be on camera
No video on YouTube yet?
Record it on your phone, upload it to YouTube as Unlisted (only people with the link can watch it), then paste the link into your message. Recording straight into the card isn’t available yet.

Fair questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Video messages are part of the free card: up to 100 invited signers and up to 10 videos per card, with nothing to buy afterwards.
Can people record a video directly in the card?
Not yet. Videos come in as YouTube or Vimeo links. Anyone without one can upload a clip from their phone to YouTube as Unlisted and paste that link.
Who can see the video?
The card opens only for people who have a link to it. The video itself lives on YouTube or Vimeo, so choose Unlisted if you don’t want it to appear there publicly. Private videos can’t be shown on a card.
Can I check videos before they go on the card?
Yes. Turn on “Approve videos before they appear” on your card’s page. New videos stay hidden from everyone but the person who added them until you approve, and any you don’t approve aren’t sent.
Does the video play automatically?
No. Each video shows a still image with a play button and starts when someone presses it. Until then nothing is loaded from YouTube or Vimeo.
How many videos can one card have?
Up to 10 for now, one per message. Everyone can still write a message and add a photo or a GIF.
