Indespensible tool for working with my overseas team
I am finding creative ways to use Vmaker in my life. It's fun to send a link to my mom to show her how to do something or just say hello. Also, whenever I have a tech support issue or something wrong with a purchase, I just make a quick video of the problem I am having and send the link via email or chat. It saves me SO MUCH HEADACHE going back and forth trying to explain the problem to someone. I always use a friendly tone of voice when showing the problem and I think the person watching the video feels more like helping me because of the more personal touch. I'm always trying to find ways to use Vmaker instead of just email.
PROSWhen I first hired my team of virtual assistants, I used Loom to make short videos of "test tasks" I wanted them to perform for me. That worked okay, but to make videos longer than 5 minutes, I would need to go with a pro plan so I started comparing other similar products. I found Vmaker to have everything I needed and (at the time) there was a lifetime deal on a team plan that I snapped up. This plan allows me to give my team members access so they can make screen recordings for me so they can show me *exactly* what issues they may be having. I encourage them to send me a lot of videos to give me suggestions for ways they think we can improve our workflow or anything else they want to discuss with me. I use the Vmaker dashboard a lot because I can organize my videos into folders by topic and can reference them later. I really like that I can just put a shortcut to Vmaker on the dock of my MacBook Pro so I can quickly record a thought or bit of instruction without waiting a long time to open and set up a recording app. It is quick and easy!
CONSI really wish there was a feature to easily add captions to my videos without having to use a 3rd party app.
Reason for choosing Vmaker AI
I had used Screenflow for years but I was getting tired of having to pay for software upgrades so when I found a lifetime deal for VMaker, I happily took advantage! I find that I can do everything with Vmaker that I used to do with Screenflow and it is web-based so no bothering with software updates.
Reasons for switching to Vmaker AI
I was constrained by the 5 minute video limit so I needed to move to a pro solution.

I use v maker for my marketing company
It’s a part of my daily go-to software for recording explainer videos or tutorials online. Saves me from having to record on my laptop and then waiting for it to be uploaded on YouTube.
PROSI love that I can instantly click on the banker plug-in on my Google chrome & instantly record my screen. I use this for training my staff on designing websites, as well as sending tutorial videos to my clients. It’s so convenient as I can send a shareable link straight away, see if anyone has viewed my video & retitle it as I please.Definitely recommended for those who run a service based business!
CONSSometimes I have to sign in as the plug-in logs me out randomly on Google chrome, which delays me by a few minutes but it’s not a deal breaker.

Wouldn't buy again
The ease of screening recording through the internet with the Google Chrome extenion
CONSI have attempted to email [sensitive content hidden] several times as his Auto email kept asking how we were liking Vmaker but, whatever server you use kept rejecting our email responses. Unfortunately I can't touch the video I initially tried to email you but see you below. I'm pretty unhappy with my plan. I ordered it to record some videos while in Google Meets, but the system has glitched out on me both times I have tried. I've attached a screenshot of the video that took over 24 hours to load. I did not close my laptop or exit the screen as required, but it has yet to progress despite even being plugged in overnight. After stopping the recording, the first video did not copy to the clipboard, and for some reason, I got a pop-up that said "cancelled copy to clipboard." At this point, I have had to switch screen providers as the training I need these for was very important.

A solid option for sharing videos and walkthroughs
I really like being able to record my screen simply and reliably. The price was great for the value. It wasn't the cheapest and isn't the fanciest but is a really great balance of the two. It does what I need it to do.
CONSI wish there was a firefox extension. That's the browser I currently use the most. Also, it's great that I can share the videos with people, but it's so important to me to be able to allow people to download their videos. While they can download them, it seems to be difficult for people to figure out how to do that. I understand wanting to prevent too many bots or random downloads, but I'd love it if I could maybe provide a password or have a specific link I can share or some way to allow people to download without having to create an account. One client thought they had to download the software and was having trouble so I had to download it and share it via Dropbox.
Reason for choosing Vmaker AI
Price, value, and downloading the videos.
Reasons for switching to Vmaker AI
Most of the screencast programs that are new start off with a nice 30 or 60 or 90 minute limit for the free version and then once they get popular they change that to 5 minutes. So they've all done that. I started with Screencast-o-matic but they didn't have a way to download the videos.

Making things easier than expected
Ten out of ten, I can't ask much more, just to get the windows app improved.
PROSHow easy is to start using it. Install, login and click record to have everything online.I'm a disaster with data, so I value being able to have folders where I can store the videos I recorded, and also having subfolders inside.Sharing a link is a breeze: record, stop recording and the link gets copied automatically after you stop the record.
CONSFor windows users: they have the info about shortcuts just for Mac, so you have to guess the windows ones.App performance for windows (not browser extension), needs to be improved.

A very good tool for record your screen and share it easily
As I said, I use Vmaker to record tutorial video and share it to my client. It is very helpful for me and for them.
PROSIt is very easy to use. I like the product, the ease to record and share a video to a client. I use it to record tutorials for my clients.
CONSWe can't share a video and protect it by a password. For example, I have many client for I use Vmaker to record tutorial. I would like to share videos to them and add a password to the video, because by default, when I share a video with a client, he can see all my video.

The real maker
I did not expect that a software tool can have such an impact on my productivity.
PROSThe UI and pricing , functionality over form was the main priority when using this kind of apps , but Vmaker was different, then went with form over functionality, and I really like it.
CONSIf the face cam had portrait blur , then it would have been even more impressive. But i know tjat the primary objective isn’t the portrait of face cam , so i am fine with the Vmaker which i am using right now !

A screen recorder and video editor.
Pretty good and basic sufficient for entry-level skill.
PROSThe video timer feature helps the user to auto-delete the video by setting a timer. Annotations can be added to the video. The Vmaker user gets access to unlimited upload storage. The user can make screen recording quality up to 4K. Selective area and full-screen recording features are available. The Vmaker export file can be uploaded directly to youtube. The user interface is simple and easy to use. The video editor tool helps to trim, cut, insert symbols and annotations to the recorded video. Background blur and custom background feature available in webcam recording. The user can share the file with other users to edit or view the file.
CONSThere is a scope to add more features to the platform. The platform is not available on the android app version. Customer support needs to optimize the resolution and response time. Introduce the resource section would be value-added.

Aplicación con potencial pero actualmente llena de bugs
En general mi experiencia con Vmaker ha sido negativa y no recomendaría a nadie con un proyecto serio cambiar de Loom u otra plataforma hacia Vmaker. Tienen características muy interesantes en su roadmap y quizás en el futuro terminen ofreciendo un buen software, pero ahora mismo solo están comercializando un producto que está lejos de cualquier estándar mínimo de calidad.
PROSVmaker es una aplicación que permite la grabación de la pantalla del ordenador, el micrófono y la cámara del ordenador. Tiene aplicación para Mac, pero para Windows debes usarlo desde su extensión. Uno de los principales puntos positivos es que permite grabar en 4K y su tecnología de reducción de ruido funciona bastante bien, eso sí, la grabación de la voz tiene también bugs.
CONSVmaker tiene tantos bugs que es difícil enumerarlos todos. Para empezar puede que estés grabando media hora para después encontrarte con que la plataforma no termina de subir el vídeo. O incluso, que ya haya subido el vídeo y sea imposible descargarlo de la plataforma. La grabación del audio es muy clara, pero en ocasiones se graba con interrupciones. Al final de grabar un vídeo al que le has puesto mucho esfuerzo terminas viendo que es imposible usarlo, ya sea por los problemas en el audio o simplemente porque no se ha subido a la plataforma.

Great product, simple and easy to use.
It's an amazing tool for creating video content, sharing feedbacks, saving time on meetings, and it's much cheaper than Loom which also is ridden of bugs. I have been using Vmaker for almost 6 months now and it has worked great all the time.
PROSIt's a great alternative to Loom, especially because of the pricing and core functionality. It's just as easy to use with one click to start recording. The sharing works nicely and overall, it has all the needed features for recording screen, presenter's face, and capturing audio.
CONSNot much to dislike here but I would like to share some improvement areas. The overall UI/UX can be improved. A lot of times, the videos goes into processing for a long time. It's confusing to understand how shared folders work. Also, there should be more options and ways you can share - share with specific people, self-destruct links (instead of whole video), etc.
Reason for choosing Vmaker AI
Vmaker had a lifetime subscription option. It worked in a similar way as to my previous tool so the switch was very easy.

The tool was expensive and had a lot of bugs. The videos sometime goes missing, never process, or come out corrupted.

Great loom alternative
The interface is clean and minimalistic, so it's easy to work with. There isn't anything overbearing or scary about it, and you don't need to read any tutorials as you'll know how everything works without them. Chrome extension is straightforward to use and looks similar to other extensions like loom, but with additional features like changing the frames for webcam recording. Vmaker allows you to capture in different modes like screen only, Webcam only and Screen + Webcam. Record 4k videos and edit the videos directly on Vmaker. The 4k video is super sharp. While capturing any meeting or a game vmaker allows you to record system audio, so you don’t miss out on any audio. We can annotate videos if you are recording the video for a tutorial or giving feedback to your team.
CONSNo Cname and No CTA on pro plans they are available only on Enterprise plan

Vmaker is a great communication tool with a bright future ahead of it
Overall, I am quite happy with the product and the team. They seem to have ambitious goals for the future and I am confident that this communication SaaS is sure to pay itself back if you use it right and the "non-on-brand" issue is not an issue for you.
PROSThe ease of use the by far the best thing about Vmaker. In addition to that, the 4k video is super sharp. The interface is clean and doesn't have anything "too much" on it, it's easy to navigate and you really don't need to see or read any tutorials to "just know" how everything works. The Mac app is also a nice bonus for any Mac user even so that I am not one. That being said, I am more than happy with my chrome extension as it works fine for what I use it for.
CONSThe tool has some issues with branding. In case you don't need a full 100% control over your brand look on the "video share page" then this is certainly not an issue.
Reason for choosing Vmaker AI
I chose Vmaker for the price and the 4k video.

Good Screen Recorder, Can be Great.
So far so good. Support team has been really helpful. I had the developer on call once to help recover the video which is something I don't see often.
PROSThe ease of use with the product is amazing. Even if you are completely new to tech, this product can get you going all by yourself. Appreciate the user experience front of the product. The packed features are simple and gets the job done without any noise.
CONSI think Vmaker has to grow a lot compared to the peers in the market. Especially with companies coming up with AI integrations and email integrations, Vmaker has a long way to go. They are good as a screen recorder, but today they have to offer a bit more than that to stand tall.
Reasons for switching to Vmaker AI

Easy to use free screen recorder
I use Vmaker to create creative briefs for my designers and animators. It's easier to show reference on my screen while I can record my face explaining what I need in the creative. This is 100x simpler than typing the creative briefs, adding screenshots and giving references.
PROSBest part about Vmaker is that I need not worry about the cap on the recording duration. I used to use Loom which wouldn't let me record more than 5 minutes in the free plan. Now, it's easy for me to record longer videos and share it with anyone.
CONSIt is currently available only for mac as a stand alone application. Though I have been using mac, I am not able to make my entire team start using Vmaker for internal communication since most of them are on Windows. Vmaker website says their Windows version is coming soon. That would do a lot of good.

VMaker - I still want to buy
I used a lot of similar screen recording apps, many of them are reliable. VMaker is amongst them, with good quality, easy to use, reliable quality. It is the only app promising to record and store at 4K. VMaker is not perfect now, but it has promising features.
PROSVMaker is quite easy to use. It can just work off-the-shelf, without any learning curve. I only need to install the Chrome extension, and log in, then ready to record. The speed which videos are loaded is quite fast. Unlimited storage for recorded video is a big plus. VMaker currently can record screen +/ webcam, and it is easy to select which to record. It has basic editing features and I hope it can be added.
CONSThe fact that it does not have Windows app at the moment (despite the Chrome extension works OK) is a big missing feature. There is a roadmap for it though (Q3/2021 I think).
