Record a short video message instead
Record half a minute of yourself and send it, for the times when nobody picks up.
Nobody picked up. It is eight thirty in Denver and two children are being put to bed. A video message solves the whole problem.
Key points
- Record a short video of yourself when nobody is free to talk
- Watch it back and record it again before anybody sees it
- Send it to a whole family at once, with a line underneath
- Save the ones they send you before the app tidies them away
What to remember
- Record, review, send. The middle step is the one that makes it comfortable.
- Stop and send are two different buttons. Everything between them belongs to you.
- Messages get tidied away by the app after a while. Keep this puts a copy somewhere permanent.
Try this
Record twenty seconds of yourself saying what the weather is doing and what you had for lunch, and send it to one person. It sounds like nothing. Ask them in a week whether they still have it.
