    Wouldn't it be awesome if your website visitors could record their screen and send you a video message instantly? Showing you exactly what they're seeing for support or just sending you some love.

    Well I've been working on a new video messaging product and have just launched the website widget so your visitors can record their screen & send a video message to you directly on your site. This can be used for product feedback, customer support, authentic video reviews & more.

    All you need is one line of code and to register your domain name & email so we know who & where to send your messages.

    You can try it here: https://zessage.com/widget - Click the "Try it Now!" button to see it in action.

    Instructions: Step 1: Go to the link to copy & paste the js code above the closing </body> tag. Step 2: Login to Zessage and add your domain & email address to ensure you receive your messages. Step 3: Design your own trigger button and set the ID to 'zessage'. This will overwrite our default button.

    Technical: The code for the widget is very lightweight and simply listens for a click of the record button. Once clicked, the rest of the code is added and allows your visitors to record the screen with their own video & audio. There is no user tracking or over bloated non-sense to slow your site down.

    I've also just posted it to Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/zessage-website-video-mess...

    I'd love your votes, feedback and thoughts.
