Everyone Who Loves Them, on One Reel

The group video maker: collect video messages from friends, family or coworkers with one link. They record short videos from their phones, or upload ones they've already filmed, and every video plays back in order in one reel they'll actually rewatch. No app, no editing.

How to Make a Group Video in Three Steps

Your mom could do it. Folksee is a group video maker: you share one link; people record short videos (up to 45 seconds per question) from their phone or computer, with no app to install; and every video plays back in order in one private reel they can watch, keep and answer with a thank-you.

Step 1: choose the prompts for friends and family to answerStep 2: invite everyone with a single linkStep 3: Folksee compiles the finished group reel

Watch a Real One First

This is an actual birthday reel a family made. Sixty seconds, and you'll understand the whole thing better than any explanation we could write.

And They Can Send One Back

After they watch their reel, the person it's for can record a one-minute thank-you and send it to everyone who contributed. Most people don't expect that part — and it's usually where the whole thing stops feeling like a gift and starts feeling like a conversation.

How Folksee compares: some group video tools price by total minutes of video and give you an editor with music and effects. Folksee prices per person, and there's nothing to edit. See Folksee vs Tribute, VidDay and Kudoboard →

The honest answers

“But Will People Actually Record?”

It's the first thing everyone worries about. Here's what actually happens.

“My family isn't good with tech”

Nothing to install. No app to download. They tap the link in a text, sign in once, and the camera opens. Already filmed something? They can upload it instead. And they can re-record as often as they like — nobody sees the takes they don't send.

“I don't have time to chase people”

You send one link. That's the job. Folksee sends you one recap on days with new videos and a friendly nudge if things go quiet, so you always know who's recorded.

“What if only a few do it?”

Four heartfelt videos still beats a group card everyone signed in thirty seconds. And your first five are free, so a small reel costs nothing.

Questions

Group Video FAQs

What is Folksee?

Folksee is a group video maker. You share one link; people record short videos (up to 45 seconds per question) from their phone or computer, with no app to install; and every video plays back in order in one private reel they can watch, keep and answer with a thank-you.

How do I collect video messages from a group and put them into one video?

Create a reel, pick up to 5 questions, and send one link by text, email, WhatsApp or your team chat. Everyone records or uploads their answers, and each video lands on the reel as it arrives. When you're ready, send the private gift link. There's nothing to stitch or edit: every video plays back in order, question by question.

Does everyone need to download an app?

No. People tap your link and record right in their phone or computer browser. They sign in once, with Google or an email address, which takes a few seconds, and there's nothing to install.

How much does it cost? Is there a free option?

Your first 5 credits are free, with no credit card. One credit covers one person, however many questions they answer. After that, packs are 10 for $10, 25 for $22, 50 for $40 or 100 for $75, as little as 75¢ a person. A 30-person reel, for example, is your 5 free credits plus one 25-credit pack: $22. No subscription, no ads, and credits you buy never expire.

How many people can contribute?

As many as you like. A credit is only used when someone actually records, and if you run out, nobody's turned away: their videos wait until you add credits.

How long can each video be?

Up to 45 seconds per question, recorded or uploaded, and each person can answer up to 5 questions. Long enough to say something real, short enough that the reel stays watchable.

Can we play it at the party, in the office, or on a video call?

Yes. Tap Watch on a big screen and the reel plays full screen, one question at a time, with everyone's name beside their video. Put it on a TV with AirPlay, Cast or an HDMI cable, or share your screen on the call. (Watch on a big screen isn't available on memorial reels yet.)

Is it good for a coworker's farewell or retirement?

It's one of the most common reasons people use Folksee. Send one link to the team, including people who've moved on or work in other time zones, and it all arrives as one reel for their last day. Questions like “What did they teach you that stuck?” make it easy for people to know what to say.

Can schools and nonprofits use it for teacher, staff or donor thank-yous?

Yes. Classes use it for teacher appreciation, teams use it to thank staff, and nonprofits use it to gather thank-you videos for donors and volunteers. For a limited time, nonprofits get 50 free credits: email support@folksee.com from your organization's email address.

Who can see the finished reel?

Only the people you send it to. Reels live behind a private link, aren't listed or searchable anywhere, and there are no ads.

Can I download the reel?

You can save any video in the reel to your phone or computer, one at a time, with the Save button. There isn't one combined download of the whole reel, and keeping the reel on Folksee is always free.

Can the person reply after they watch it?

Yes. Once they've seen their reel, they can record a thank-you of up to 60 seconds, and everyone who sent a video gets to see it. Most people don't expect that part.
