Guest invitations

Guest invitations bring one person into a project to record for your video — the single-person counterpart to campaigns.

A guest invitation brings one person into a specific project so they can record for your video — no account or install needed on their side. You create an invitation link, send it to them, and their recording lands right in that project. It's the fastest way to get a clip from a single person: a manager's intro, one testimonial, a subject-matter answer.

Guest invitation or campaign?

Reach for a guest invitation when you need one person to contribute to one project — the link is meant for a single, one-time recording. Reach for a campaign when you're collecting from many people at once through a reusable link. Same idea — getting footage from others — at two different scales.

Send a guest invitation

Open the project you want a recording for, then open Guest invitations from the invite icon in the top bar. Click Create invitation to generate a link and send it to your contributor. Each invitation carries its own invitation code, so submissions are easy to tell apart.

Track invitations

The Guest invitations panel lists this project's invitations — the guest, project name, invitation code, date, and status — so you can see who's been invited and whether they've recorded yet. Use Show all invitations to review them across projects.

Good to know: As an admin, you can see every guest invitation in one place under Settings → Accounts → Guests. It shows each invite’s status (Active, Pending, or Expired) and the project it belongs to, and you can search by name or project — handy when you need to find an invitation without remembering which project it lives in.

Where recordings land

Good to know: Whatever your guest records comes straight back into the project, ready to edit or run through your automated pipeline — exactly like any other footage. The invitation just gets the clip in the door.

Good to know: You can guide your guest before they record. On the template or project behind the invitation, each recording scene can carry a briefing, a recording duration (a minimum and maximum length), and other context in its shot settings — so your contributor sees exactly what to record and how long it should be.

One guest per project

Good to know: A guest sees the whole project — every existing scene and all footage already in it. So if you invite several people into the same project, each one can see the others' recordings. When you need recordings from more than one person and want to keep them separate, use a campaign instead: every submission becomes its own project, so contributors never see each other's material.
