Our team @PressFriendly has been remote for 7 years and a Slack team the whole time. We've been using Jamm for 5 months and the Slack integration makes things so easy. It's allowed us to have quick discussions without digging around for a call-in #.
@pressfriendly @joelandren thanks and your feedback as been super useful in our product development.
?makers Is this a hosted service like TokBox, Twilio or anything else? We have been on TokBox for past year and half. I would be interested to learn more about SDKs for JS (ReactJS), iOS, and Android, if available.
Product looks fab.
This looks dope. Reducing the app fatigue one app at a time. Recommending it to my team.
Great product guys! I just add it to our org's slack. One thing is that /jamm record does not work on private channels, which is a bummer and most likely one feature that would mostly be used.
@antonio_bologna indeed the /record does not work in private channels. we will work on that.
@antonio_bologna we don’t upload slack videos to private channels but if you copy a link and paste it in a private channel the video will unfurl there. eg. If you paste this link into a private channel in Slack it should unfurl https://jamm.app/video/xqKcDyrQ9...
Great experience! Always happens you want to quickly explain something to your team and this saves a lot of time. Congratz! :)
@jacobo_vidal thanks Jacobo! We tried to make it quick and easy to record a video and post it to slack. No downloads required!
@jacobo_vidal thanks Jacobo! Indeed using video saves a lot of time and misunderstandings!
Hey Product Hunt👋!
We’re excited for you all to check out Jamm for Slack!
I don’t know about you, but we grew tired of long and boring video meetings. We believe real work happens between meetings, so we went out and built Jamm to bring a bit more fun and dynamic conversations into the workplace.
Hear more on why we built Jamm:

With our latest Slack integration, you can now instantly launch live video huddles and record and send video updates to teammates directly from your Slack channel using slash commands:
-🙌 Jump into a quick huddle to discuss an idea or brainstorm with your team instantly using /jamm chat
- 💁♂️ Record and send video updates and meeting highlights to your teammates with /jamm record
- 🕺 Creatively name video chat links and share with your channel
We invite you to check and let us know what you think!

@baddn Congratulations on the launch. Looks like a great video collaboration tool and great that it is integrated within Slack.
Hi ?makers,
How does this compare to slack's built-in video calls? I can see recording is a plus, but I don't see the ability to draw on top of screens during calls (my team's favorite feature).
@amitav_khandelwal We have a couple of things that are massively different - the ability to have small, resizable floating heads that you can drag around anywhere, there are shared pointers that you can use to show or point to things on top of the scree and a super powerful collaborative whiteboard built into the call & web links to easily invite and collaborate with people outside your slack workspace.
At Jamm, we use `/jamm record` quite a bit for things like sending recorded video updates to our team and capturing brainstorm highlights. On occasion (probably more frequently than we should admit), we like to see who can get the biggest laugh from teammates by sending funny video recordings back and forth - boomerang style!
Here are some other ways we use `/jamm record` on the dailly:

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback! We’d love to hear from you.
@dansiepen Great to hear! Let us know how you go. Video is bringing back a much needed personal touch for our team communication while we're all remote.
I love using the Jamm recorder for product demos (what you see is what you get!) and sharing async status updates. Being a team distributed in several time zones, async communications is a key point in our day2day routines.
As simple as executing `/jamm record` in any of your Slack channels 🙌
@juandebravo asynchronous stands ups really work (esp. in these times when you need flexibility over your schedule)
Video recording into slack makes me save a lot of time when wanting to explain some new feature to the team. I can then take the time to write and delve into details but I can give the high level view fast and to the point.
@chhaya_b as I like to say sometimes, we want "the conversation to follow you to wherever you happen to be working"
I really love the experience we have created that allows me to seamlessly jump on a call with the team. Using it everyday!
It's been fantastic to watch developers demo new features, or getting updates from the team via video. It has eliminated a lot of meetings and essentially allows us to consume them at our convenience. I'd definitely recommend giving the recordings a go in your team!
Love the fact that you guys integrate into Slack directly. We have been using other video solutions like zoom mostly and it was always a bit of a hassle to have to switch between tools. This looks like it’ll help save a ton of time and it’s great to see we can use it for ad hoc video huddles as well. Congrats to the makers! What other features are you planning to release for this in the future?
@ryanchaliff thanks much. Yeah we have a standalone application with rooms, etc but have found often times, we spend a bunch of time in slack and don't want to leave the workflow and be able to jump in and out quickly. Mobile + Computer vision (lighting correction, etc) is another area we are looking at.
