Hippo Video believes that creating videos should be fun and easy. These 20 Hippo Video features are what we consider video hacks. They will allow you to create highly customized videos in a fraction of the time and at a faster pace.

Getting started
We have included Hippo Video features in this category that will help you make videos quickly.
1. Stop and resume visibility of the webcam
You can adjust the visibility of your webcam while using the screen + webcam function. This feature is particularly useful for demos or walking prospects through a proposal. It eliminates potential distractions and keeps things flowing. You don’t even need to make your webcam visible during the introduction. The end-user can continue their experience without interruption.

2. To record videos, use keyboard shortcuts
It’s easy to feel professional by using keyboard shortcuts to record videos. Instead of spending time fiddling with a mouse which can be tedious and time-consuming, users can record videos quickly using only their keyboards. Both Windows and macOS users can benefit from these intuitive shortcuts.
Here are some shortcuts for mac users:
To stop the recording press Option+ STo pause/play it, press Options + PTo delete it, press option + DTo highlight and write text while recording, presse Option+ ATo focus on a specific portion of the video, press Option+ HTo erase the marked text press Option+ ETto clear the screen in one shot, use Option+ ZTo minimize/maximize tools, use Option+ C
Windows users can replace the Option key by Alt.
3. Teleprompter for intuitive use
Teleprompter. We all know what the benefits are. What about one that stops scrolling after you’ve finished speaking? This feature does not scroll at a preset speed but allows you to control the pace of your delivery. It also ensures that your text doesn’t lag behind the moving words.
P.s.: Use the spacebar to tap the spacebar and select “Auto Scroll” to pause the text and scroll it.
To pause and scroll according to your voice, select “Voice Flow” in the teleprompter.

5. Blur parts of the video
Sometimes, your video may contain sensitive information that you don’t want to share with others. Your phone number and personal email address might be included in the video. You can use the blur effect here to protect sensitive data from being misused.
To blur:
Navigate to the Hippo Video Library and choose the video that you want to blur. Click on the “Edit & Personalize” button in the video preview. From the pop-up select “Quick Edit”. You can also adjust the intensity of blur to the video by clicking on the button “Add new blur”.
6. LinkedIn profile added to the video background
Do you send out prospecting videos? This feature is essential if you are. Use your prospect’s LinkedIn profile, or their company website, as your background to grab instant attention. Do you have 100 prospects? It’s no problem. Upload the prospect’s profile and URL, and you will see the magic happen.
To do is:
Log in to Hippo Video and choose HV Studio from the left navigation bar. Click on “Video Flows”, then “Custom Tags,” to locate the “Create Prospecting Video flow.” After you’ve uploaded or recorded a video, click on “Video Flows” to see the tab “Add Virtual Background.” Click “LinkedIn Screenshot” to copy and paste the URL.

10. Privacy Protect your Videos
When you send sensitive or confidential video content, privacy protection is crucial. You can protect your videos by setting a date when the video will be automatically deleted to prevent unauthorized access. A password-protected video can be added to security. Only those who have access should see it.
This is how you do it:
Save the video that you want to protect. You will see the tab “Video Settings” > Privacy. Click “Apply” to set the expiration time and date for your video.
11. In the thumbnail, mention the length of the video
Did you know that if you inform your prospects about the length of your video, they will click on it. Hippo Video provides this smart hack as a default. Every time you send your video via email, a stamp will appear.
Productivity hacks
These features will help you scale your video efforts as a sales professional without getting bogged down or with maximum efficiency.
