Do I need any equipment to record a video message?

No. The camera and microphone on the laptop or phone you already have are enough.

Can I change or delete a video after recording it?

Yes. You can edit its title, description and category, change who receives it, adjust the release timing, or delete it. To change what you said, record a new message and delete the old one.

Does a video message replace a written will?

No. A video message adds context and personal words alongside your will; it is not a substitute for it. When you record, you can link the message to a will you are drafting here so it is kept with that will. The formal requirements for a valid will vary by jurisdiction, and a qualified legal professional you select can explain how a recording is treated where you live.

Can I group related messages together?

Yes. Collections keep related recordings together, so a series of messages stays together as a set rather than as scattered files.

Is there a set length or format?

No. There is no expected length or format, and a two-minute message is as valid as a long one.
