alex625Q: Generally impressed so far.
Couple of questions:
1. What is the LinkedIn integration supposed to do? I've integrated it BUT there seems to be nothing to actually do with it either within storyxpress or on linkedin.
2. I don't understand the need for the location request when a video is viewed. Can it be removed or at least made optional? I really don't like this because when I send a prospect a video to watch I am already fighting their natural tendency to hit delete - this gives them another reason to not watch the video. This does not happen with dubb / vidyard. And (at least before you get the CNAME sorted) it draws attention to your domain and away from my message.
3. Workspaces seem to have little/no practical use? Instead of allowing smart video organisation they create a new subscription (and cannot be deleted).
4. Any plan to add social icons to the video page? This would aid customer engagement.
5. The video page must show my picture, name, workspace and date of creation? - it would be nice to be able to modify / customise this globally or individually.
6. Uploaded videos seem to be excluded from this AS deal - is that on purpose?
(Overall you are 80% there in my opinion and have the makings of an awesome product.)

May 15, 2024A: Thank you, Alex, for your suggestions, and I am glad that you are liking the experience so far, apart from some quirks here and there.
Please find the answers below:
1. Currently, LinkedIn integration allows you to share your videos from the platform to LinkedIn, and if you share the video using the integration, you can actually see the analytics on an individual video, including how many people viewed your video through LinkedIn. Other social channels work in a similar fashion.
2. CNAME is in the roadmap and should be ready by next month. We ask the location to show this in analytics. I think what we can do eventually is to provide the option to the admin of the workspace, if they want to collect the location data or not, if user is selecting the option as "do not collect the location data", location request will not pop up for the viewer.
3. I think a lot of people are confusing with the folders, we have added folders to our roadmap. We created workspaces for large organizations and for agencies where they might want to invite their clients to different workspaces. Once we create folders, the confusion will not be there.
4. That's a good idea. We will consider adding the social icons,
5. Again, we will provide this functionality eventually in the platform.
6. Our hosting platform is different and has different pricing, you can subscribe here: https://storyxpress.co/pricing/hosting, we will be coming up with a deal for AppSumo Clapboard subscribers.
Thanks, again! We are constantly working to make the best video platform for our customers.
