Bonjoro's new Chrome recorder lets you record and share UNLIMITED webcam videos or screen recordings! 

Use this to record a webcam video or screen recording and drop it directly into Facebook messenger, Salesforce, Gmail, Outlook, your support channels, Slack, websites, SMS providers, anything with a text field!

Here's how it's done:

1. Install the Chrome extension

2. Record your videos

There are three options for recording. Your webcam, your screen or your screen + webcam.

Webcam recording:
Navigate to any page such as your Gmail account. Open the Bonjoro Chrome extension by clicking the Bonjoro logo in the top right hand corner of your Chrome toolbar. You may need to login to your account at this stage.

You'll see a preview pop up - click the Webcam option, and then click "Start recording" to kick it all off. To stop recording, click the red flashing icon in the same location.

When you have finished recording, either hit "stop sharing" at the bottom of your screen or hit the Bonjoro icon again on the top right hand corner. This will end the recording and open up the customisation page.

Screen Recording:

Hit the Bonjoro icon on the top right hand side and this will drop down the option to either screen record or record yourself. Then click on screen recorder, pick your microphone (If you don't have multiple microphones then no worries!), and hit "Start record". Once you have chosen the display that you want to record you are all ready to record your screen and educate and support your customers.

When you have finished recording, either hit "stop sharing" at the bottom of your screen or hit the Bonjoro icon again on the top right hand corner. This will end the recording and open up the customisation page.

3. Name, customise and share your video

After recording, a new window should open where you can watch your video, add a template, rename and then share this video.

Rename: click the icon after the name on top left

Message template: Use an existing template, or create a new one. Subject lines will not be used as you are not sending in an email, but your logo, background, message and CTA will. You can read about how to create templates here

Sharing: Choose to share with or without the image. Copy the link, or link and thumbnail and paste into wherever you like

Here is an example of pasting into an outlook email

5. Manage videos

Head to the Share Library and select the "Recordings" tab in your Bonjoro account and you'll be able to edit and re-share any of your videos from here. Unlike Task based videos, we do store these so you can re-use them when required. 

N.B. After recording your first video with the new Chrome recorder, you will automatically be taken to the new Recordings tab in your account.
