They record.
Patch handles the rest.
Ask anyone for a video — a slide walkthrough, an intro, an update. They click, a junior producer named Patch walks them through it, and the finished take lands in your Dropbox.
No app to install. No account for the person recording. No ring light either, but we can't stop you.
How it works
- 1
You write the ask
What to cover, how long, who it's for. That's the whole setup.
- 2
They click the link
Camera, mic, and their slides if they have them — with a live preview of exactly what's being recorded.
- 3
They record
Flub a line? Hit Redo. A cut marker goes into the video and they keep rolling. No starting over. No twelve-minute spiral.
- 4
It lands in your Dropbox
Every take as an mp4, with the cut timestamps, which take they'd use, and their notes to you. You never had to say "the other camera."
Meet Patch
A junior producer in the sidebar
Most people have never recorded themselves presenting. You can tell. Patch sits next to them the whole time: gets the camera and slides sorted, explains the Redo button, nudges them at each step, and answers whatever they ask — in your words, from the brief you wrote.
He can't see their video and he won't make things up. If they ask something you didn't cover, he tells them to leave it in the note for you.
Recorder
I messed up a line — now what?
Patch
Hit Redo and say the line again from the top. It drops a cut marker in the video so the producer knows exactly where to trim — you don't have to stop.
What it isn't
- Not an editing suite. You get clean takes with cut markers. Edit wherever you already edit, or hand it to someone who enjoys that.
- Not a video platform. The files are yours, in your Dropbox, the moment they're done. We don't want them.
- Not a login wall. The person recording clicks a link. That's it. We checked; it's still that.
Ask someone for a video.
Takes about a minute to set up. Takes them about five to record. Takes you zero to nag them, which was the whole idea.
