Q: picked it up
hey Troy
picked it up and playing with it to see if it is fit for purpose
a few things
The blur / bg replacement did not seem to work very well see below

when I sent a message it appears like this

any thoughts on why that might happen
overall tool look quite interesting but so many links might make LI wonder and also the client if the thumbs do not appear

Dec 9, 2024A: Hi RichardButler! I appreciate your comments! Let me see if I can address them.
First of all that is a great point on the background replacement. We literally added that feature yesterday and published it. So it is a phase 1 for that feature.
Phase 2 for the background replacement (after we add the built-in CRM):
- Will take in account the 3 different size videos and adjust the backgrounds for the images.
- I personally wanted the ability to upload an image. But we may find that it natively skews as we have different video formats (vertical, horizontal and square).
Not really a due date on that as it is low priority.
The second item is and easy one to answer.
On LinkedIn messages you can only have 1 link per message (it is a LinkedIn thing). So if you remove the second link then the visual animated cover image of the video will show.
One other thing to note is if you add the video link to a comment of a LinkedIn post (not talking about LinkedIn messages or DMs) you have to sometimes wait a few seconds for LinkedIn to show the visuals.
I hope this answers your question and if you would like a walk-through or strategy around Skoop feel free to schedule some time. https://go.oncehub.com/SKOOP
And thanks so much for the overall positive response.
