Video testimonials, recorded right in the browser
Customers record on your collection page (or upload a file) with a countdown, your questions on screen, and a retake button. No app, no video cap.
Video is the most persuasive testimonial format — a real face and voice is hard to fake and easy to trust. ShowTrust puts a recorder right on your collection page, so customers can say it on camera without installing anything.
They get a 3-second countdown, your questions shown on screen like a teleprompter, and a chance to watch it back and re-record before sending. Prefer a clip they already have? They can upload a file instead.
The problem
Collecting video usually means chasing files over email, converting formats, and hosting clips somewhere — enough friction that most teams never ship a single video testimonial. And most tools cap how many videos you get before you pay a lot more.
How it works
Customer picks video
Your collection page offers “Record a video” or “Write a testimonial” — or video only, if you prefer.
Record with prompts
A countdown, your questions on screen, a timer, and a review step with “Record again”. Or they upload an MP4, MOV or WebM file.
Approve and it plays in your wall
Videos land in your Pending tab with a thumbnail. Approve one and it plays inline in your Wall of Love next to written quotes.

Testimonial pageFAQs
How long can videos be?
You choose, from 15 seconds up to 5 minutes. Two minutes is the default — long enough for a story, short enough that people finish.
Which plan includes video?
Video testimonials are part of Pro, with no limit on how many you collect. On the Free plan your collection page collects written testimonials.
Where are the videos hosted?
ShowTrust stores and serves them for you, with a thumbnail, and they play inline in your wall. Only one plays at a time, and scrolling layouts pause while a video plays.
What if a customer can't use their camera?
They can upload a video file instead, or switch to a written testimonial.
