One recording or several
Group Video Testimonials or Separate Ones
Three people from the same team, a couple who hired you together, a class who finished a course on the same day. You can sit them in front of one camera, or ask each to record alone. A group clip shows a shared experience and real chemistry; separate clips can each go on the page where they fit and are easier to get approved. Answer five questions to choose.
- Weighs the story, the approvals and the reuse
- Spots when one voice will drown the rest
- Suggests a mix when both make sense
Decision helper
Should these people record together or apart?
Think of one group: a team, a family, a cohort. Answer for them.
The helper runs in your browser. Nothing you choose is sent.
The problem, solved
Where group recordings go wrong, and how StoryProof handles the clips
- Problem 1
One person talked over everyone else
The founder answered every question, and the two users you wanted to hear from nodded in the background.
How StoryProof solves it
Send each person the collection link to record on their own, in the browser with nothing to install. Everyone gets the whole clip to themselves.
- Problem 2
One person in the video wants out
Someone left the company or changed their mind, and the only clip has them in it alongside two people who are still happy.
How StoryProof solves it
With separate clips, each person’s testimonial is approved on its own, so you choose which ones stay in each widget and one withdrawal does not take the others with it.
- Problem 3
We filmed the group on a real camera
The group session was recorded at the office, and the file sits on a laptop.
How StoryProof solves it
Upload the finished video file straight into StoryProof so it sits beside the solo clips and goes through the same approval.
- Problem 4
Solo recordings came back too short
Without the others to bounce off, people say one sentence and stop.
How StoryProof solves it
Send each person two or three prompts so they have something to say, and check the recording limit for your plan first. Longest video a customer can record: Free 2 min, Starter 5 min, Pro 8 min.
- Problem 5
We cannot tell which clips belong together
Six solo videos from one account end up scattered across the library with nothing linking them.
How StoryProof solves it
Tag every clip with the account or group name, so the set can be found and placed together.
Group and separate recordings side by side
In StoryProof
Record the group your way in StoryProof
- 1
Add each person as a contact
Even for a group video, add everyone, so each can be asked for a solo clip if you need one.
- 2
Collect solo clips through the link
Each person records in the browser, or leaves an audio note or written answer if they will not go on camera.
- 3
Upload the group recording
If you filmed the group together, upload the file so it sits with the solo clips.
- 4
Approve, tag and place
Approve each clip, tag the set by group, and choose which clip goes in which widget.
What happens next: If someone in a group video later asks to be removed, take the group clip down and keep the solo clips of those who are still happy.
Before you start
What to know before you film
What this does not cover, and what to check on your side. Better to know now than after launch.
- 01
Edit video before it arrives
We have no verified way to cut a person out of a clip or join clips inside StoryProof. Do any editing in a video editor before you upload.
- 02
A shared clip is one testimonial
Whether a group sits in front of one phone or you upload a filmed session, the result is a single testimonial. Approval and removal apply to all of it at once.
- 03
Everyone must agree
A group video needs consent from every person in it, not just the one who booked the session.
- 04
Plan limits apply per clip
Recording length depends on your plan. A long group conversation may need editing down before it is useful.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Short answers to what usually comes up next.
Are group video testimonials more convincing?
For a story about something people did together, often yes, because the reactions are real. For individual results, separate clips usually work better because each person gets to finish a thought.
How do I stop one person dominating a group video?
Give each person a question to lead on before filming, and ask the talker to go last. If one voice still takes over, use separate clips.
What if one person in a group video asks to be removed?
You will usually have to take the whole clip down or re-edit it outside StoryProof. That risk is the main reason to also hold solo clips.
Can several customers record into one StoryProof link together?
They can sit together in front of one device and record a single clip, but it is stored as one testimonial. To keep people separate, each should record on their own.
Still have a question? Ask the StoryProof team or book a demo.
