How do you ask for a video testimonial?
Ask right after a customer gets a clear result, in a short personal note with one link. The link opens a form with two or three prompts, and the customer records in the browser, with no app, and can try again before sending. Every clip is transcribed, and Showcase helps you trim, title and publish the ones you approve.
You know your customers love your product, but they never think to leave a review, and asking for one feels awkward.
- Share a link: customers record in their browser
- AI suggests titles and trims and enhances covers
- Showcase wall for any landing page
- No editing, no video team needed
How it works, step by step
Send a video form link: customers record a 60-second testimonial in their browser, no app needed. Showcase suggests titles and trims, then publishes approved videos as a wall on your landing page.

Ask
Step 1: Send a video form link at the right moment
The best time to ask for a testimonial is right after a success moment: purchase delivery, project completion, or support resolution. Send the form link via email, Slack, or SMS: "Would you share a 60-second video about your experience?"
- Timing beats wording: ask within 24 hours of a measurable customer win (project delivered, goal hit, renewal completed). Gratitude peaks at the success moment, not weeks later when the memory has faded
- Keep the ask to one sentence and one link: "Would you share a 60-second video about your experience? → [link]" No instructions, no attachments, no excuses to defer. Every extra word of explanation is friction that kills completion rates
Record
Step 2: Customer records in 60 seconds, no friction
Customer clicks the link, sees 3 short prompt questions ("What problem did we solve? What result did you see?"), and records a video response from their phone or laptop. No download, no login, no editing. Just record and submit.
- The 3-prompt structure guides the story without scripting it: "What problem did you have?" → "How did RecRam help?" → "What results did you see?" The problem-solution-result arc makes every answer usable without any editing
- Zero friction: no download, no login, no editing. The customer records one take (with optional retake), clicks submit, done in under 3 minutes. That's what makes the ask feel small instead of a big favor
Publish
Step 3: Publish on your site with Showcase
Approved testimonials go into a Showcase wall. Embed it on product pages or checkout, or share the hosted wall page. Showcase suggests a title and trim for each video, and analytics show views, plays and watch time.
- Embed the wall with a snippet copied from your dashboard, or link to the hosted wall page. Works on any site where you can paste HTML: Webflow, WordPress, Framer, Shopify
- Every video is transcribed, so you can copy a customer's exact words, (for example, "We stopped scheduling first-round calls") into email campaigns or ad copy
