Product Update: Short URLs

January 27th, 2012 by admin

We’re always looking for ways to make sharing videos easier, and realized the long URL attached to each video was less than convenient.

So two months ago, as a first step, we introduced a shortened Post Link URL to be used when embedding a video. While results were promising, the URL converted to original length during video playback, limiting its functionality. After several weeks of tweaking, we’re proud to introduce an even shorter, more serviceable URL.

Short URLs are particularly handy when using Post Links.  Additionally, you or your recipients can copy and paste the link from the address bar for easy forwarding, and Short URLs can be used with any video from your video library.

 

Example: Previous ‘Long’ Playback URL

 

 

 

Example: New ‘Short’ Playback URL

 

 

 

If you have questions about using Short URLs, contact us at support@covideo.com.

 

 

Mac Desktop Recorder Released

January 5th, 2012 by admin

Covideo is excited to announce we now have a downloadable desktop recorder for Mac users!  The new Mac version allows Snow Leopard 10.6 and Lion 10.7 users to download the recorder from their Covideo account back office.  Desktop functions include: Record, Preview, Save and Email much like the web version but with higher video quality, for better results.  Users can also access their Mac address book instead of loading all their contacts into our system for ease and time-savings.

Watch a Video Demonstration!

Current Covideo customers can download the Mac desktop recorder by logging-in to their account, selecting Email and then Download.  For additional details check out the Mac Quick Start Guide.  If you would like more information about our downloadable Mac Desktop Recorder or any of the other new features we added in 2011 feel free to contact us.  We’re always happy to help!
