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.
Is this appropriate for a corporate setting?
Yes. You control who's invited and what they record. We've seen it used for partners' retirements at law firms, professors emeritus, executive farewells.
Can HR or the boss approve the final video before reveal?
Yes. The chain organizer (you) sees all clips before publishing the reveal. You can re-order, skip, or replace any clip.
How many people can record?
Free trial supports up to 5 contributors. Premium scales to 30. We've seen birthday chains with 30+ people.
When do I pay?
Free trial gives you a watermarked preview to share. You only pay if you want a watermark-free download and the full feature set.
