Common Questions
How long should each clip be?
Between 10 and 30 seconds is the sweet spot. You set a max — most birthday chains use 20 seconds per person.
What if Grandma can't figure out the camera?
Tap the link, tap record. No app to install, no account needed. We tested it with grandparents — it works.
Can the birthday person see clips before the reveal?
No. That's the whole point of the blind chain. Even if they're tech-savvy, they can't open the link until you publish the reveal.
Can I choose the music for my video?
We auto-pick a track that matches the occasion. Custom AI-generated songs from your description are coming soon — sign up above to get notified.
