How to use ReplyCam

A simple walkthrough for creators who want to collect video responses, review them, and download everything in one place.
TLDR

ReplyCam makes it easy for people to record and submit videos from a mobile device or desktop. You can ask for one open-ended response or guide people through interview questions, then send either one reusable link or a set of one-time links. ReplyCam currently supports clips up to 10 minutes long. After that, you collect the responses, review and organize them in the dashboard, and pull everything back out as a project download or through the API.

Typical uses include testimonials, customer feedback, interview answers, quick team updates, application videos, and reaction clips you want to gather in one place without making people install anything.

What you need
  • A creator login link sent to your email
  • A project name
  • A rough idea of how many people you want responses from
Quick Start
1
Sign in

Go to Creator Login, enter your email, and use the one-time sign-in link ReplyCam sends you.

2
Create a project

In the creator console, give the project a name, choose how many one-time links you want, decide how long each clip can be up to 10 minutes, and set when the links expire.

3
Choose how people respond

Leave interview questions blank for a single open response, or add one question per line to guide people through a short interview flow.

4
Send the right link

Use the universal link when many people can share one reusable URL or scan a QR code to respond. Use one-time links when you want individual links that expire after they are used.

5
Review responses

Open the project dashboard to watch clips, read transcripts, filter responses, and sort by question, date, size, status, or selection.

6
Download the full project

Use Download Project in the dashboard to get the videos, transcripts, CSV, JSON, and a local overview.html page in one ZIP file.

Which link should I send?
Universal link

Reusable. Best when you want to post one link in an email, a newsletter, a group chat, or let people scan a QR code and respond.

One-time links

Expire after use. Best when you want to hand out individual links or keep closer control over who responds.

What happens for respondents?
  • They open the link in their browser.
  • They record with their camera and microphone.
  • If your project has interview questions, they answer them one by one.
  • After the final upload, they see a simple thank-you screen.
What the dashboard gives you
  • Responses and links in one place
  • Transcript previews and full transcript viewing
  • Sorting and filtering for review
  • Reusable and one-time link management
  • Project export for offline review
Good defaults during testing
  • Keep the project short and obvious in the title.
  • Use the universal link when you just want to test the flow quickly.
  • Turn interview mode on only when you actually need multiple prompts.
  • Download the project bundle after a test run so you see the final handoff.
Need the API?

If you are building automations, agents, or your own product workflow around ReplyCam, use the API documentation. The tutorial page is for the normal creator flow. The API docs are for integration work.
