What is Video Testimonials in Reputation Management?

Educational description:Video Testimonials is a Reputation feature that allows you to collect customer video reviews using shareable, branded “Video Collectors.” Contacts can record or upload a video from desktop or mobile (no app required). Collected videos can then be reviewed internally and showcased on your site using the Review Widget.

• Frictionless capture: Contacts record or upload from any modern device—no app required.
  
  
• Brand control: Customize collector branding (logo, background, text, accent, button colors) to match your visual identity.
  
  
• Flexible distribution: Share direct links or send via Email, SMS, or WhatsApp from HighLevel.
  
  
• Centralized management: View and download all submissions in the Responses tab.
  
  
• Easy showcasing: Add videos to your existing Review Widget, with layout options and per‑collector filtering.
  
  
• Performance guardrails: Each video is capped at 2 minutes 30 seconds to keep files lightweight and watchable.
