Questions

How long should a birthday video message be?

Thirty seconds to a minute each. In a group video, short messages keep it fun to watch.

Is it really Free?

Yes. No trial, no paywall, no card.

Do people need an app or an account?

No. They tap a link and record in their phone's browser. Only the organizer gives an email address.

Does AI change what people say?

Never. AI helps pick the best moments and arrange them with music, but every word is something someone really said, in their own voice.
