What is Vmaker?

Vmaker is a video-making tool that can record the user's screen, webcam, voice and internal audio. It can be used to make explainer videos, product demos, B-roll footage & how-to videos without having to spend a lot of time or money on production. It’s also a tool for marketers, L&D professionals and content creators. As videos become a more essential part of daily communication, and a source for connecting with an audience, Vmaker aims to make recording, editing & sharing video content hassle-free.


Categories & Use Cases

Vmaker is a 'Loom Beater'

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Iuse Vmaker mainly for creating short Vlogs and video introductions for my Podcast.

I like that it allows you to easily select the portion of the screen to be recorded. Plus it allows Picture In Picture with the webcam video also being captured. On paid plans, it also allows you to set a webcam virtual background which most competitors do not offer.

I moved from Loom since they no longer allow you to download videos on the Free plan.

Pros

  • Picture in Picture (screen+webcam) Recording
  • Virtual Backgrounds for the Webcam (most other platforms don't support this)
  • Super easy to use

Cons

  • Wish they allowed virtual webcam backgrounds or blurred background on the Free plan.
  • Some of the messaging on the site is a bit inconsistent re pricing of the plans (some refer to annual pricing paid monthly vs monthly pricing)

Most Important Features

  • Screen+Webcam capture
  • Virtual and blurred webcam backgrounds
  • Very reasonable price vs competitors
  • Cloud based

Return on Investment

  • Makes recording video intros for my Podcast super easy
  • I can record from anywhere (eg my AirBnB while traveling and still look professional
  • Totally affordable for my relatively small business

  • Record meetings you are unable to attend
  • Easily send links to your videos
