How to Personal
Creating a personal video
All you need to do to start is hit the green plus button here and then it will fire up your webcam and then of course you'll be able to choose whether you want to add a little script for yourself here and this is basically think of this like a teleprompter or just notes that you'll have in front of you to read. So you could say like remember to mention XYZ just to have something in front of you that you might want to mention during your recording. And then you just need to press the recording button here to get started and then you can choose whether you want to share your entire screen one application window or just one Chrome tab. So I'll share my entire screen for this example. And then now it is recording both my webcam and my screen at the same time and then of course I could start off by reading my notes which look pretty natural in front of me like this. Or I can go in and show something for example some product visuals. Or anything like that. That I might want to show during my presentation so I can go in and show any kind of website or anything that you might want to show as visuals during your recording. And then whenever you're done recording of course you just go back and hit the stop button here. And then we'll be presented with the editor mode inside our Personal. And then in here we can go in and quickly choose whether we want to start off by, for example, just showing our screen. So as you can see by default. It will always show like these. have a side-by-side view of your webcam recording and your screen recording so you can go in and choose whether you want to for example just start off by showing your webcam only and then go in later on and go into the side-by-side view to show yourself and your screen recording perhaps you cannot even go in and also just do a full screen and then maybe you want to end off saying goodbye and just showing your webcam at the end again and then now of course you have the option if you hit the little plus button here you have the option of adding a video or a recording on top of the video that you just made so you could go in and for example add a recording of a colleague or you could add a recording yourself if you wanted to do the video in two parts now alternatively to that you could also go in and pull up your video library and then this would basically enable you to for example upload pre-recorded videos to your library beforehand and then actually put those videos together with the video that you just created of yourself and then thereby kind of repurposing perhaps marketing videos or product videos that you already have and put them together with videos that you just recorded of yourself using personal so whenever we're happy with the way the video has been edited we hit the Save button and then all we need to do now is basically just design our video landing page which is what the receiver of the video will see so we can give it a quick little title like video for Brian for example add a description here hey Brian check this out and then now of course we can also go here and add a call to action on the side of the video page now this is a great way of incentivizing people to take some kind of action that you might want them to do after watching your video so you could for example add a button with a link or anything like that to a demo page for example or you could just for example add your business card to have a bit more context to who's watching the video now the last step is basically to add a thumbnail you could just go with this static thumbnail if you're happy with that but you also have a couple different options of course you can do the static one a gif animation or even upload a image thumbnail that you might already have made beforehand now let's say you want to use a gif thumbnail because that works very well in emails to get people to to click on your video a render a gif thumbnail you could choose a gif option and then all you need to do is just pick a couple seconds and then you hit save and then this will render a gif thumbnail for your video right here in inside of the browser here we go and then we just say finish video once it has rendered the gif for us and then all we our email provider here now paste into mail is a standard option that works for most email providers like Gmail for example or Outlook but if you're using anything like HubSpot marketing or HubSpot sales of course you have a couple different options over here I'm going to use paste into mail because I'm just going to be using Gmail for this example so I can click copy link a thumbnail go to your Gmail your email provider and then all you need to do is just hit copy paste embedded inside of your email ready to send off to your your receiver and of course they'll be redirected to your landing page which you design in a very interactive environment
