Farewell videos

A goodbye worth taking with them.

Someone is moving on, a colleague, a neighbor, a friend headed somewhere new, and a card passed around the office says less than anyone means. Send one link, and everyone records a short goodbye from wherever they are. They leave with one film full of the people they mattered to.

A farewell video works because leaving is rarely about one goodbye: it is the whole room, the old team, the friends across two offices and three time zones. With videos.me nobody circulates a card or chases a signature. One link goes out, each person records a short message in their browser, no app for them and no editor for you, and every goodbye is stitched into a single film. Play it at the send-off or send it after they land, and they take the room with them.

What you get back

A preview cut from the prompts on this page. Yours will be the clips your people record.

How it works

Three steps and a few minutes, and never an editor.

1

Create a link

Add a prompt like “Share a favorite memory” and get one shareable link in seconds.

2

Everyone records

Anyone with the link opens it and records a short clip in their browser. They never install an app or make an account.

3

We make the film

We stitch every message into one film that’s yours to watch, download, and share.

How to make a farewell video

1

Start when the date is set

Create the collection about a week out. Pick Farewell as the occasion and share the link quietly.

2

Reach beyond the room

Send the link to the old team, former colleagues, and friends who moved on themselves. Distance stopped mattering: recording takes a minute from anywhere.

3

Prompt for stories

Ask for a favorite memory or a wish for the next chapter, so the film is full of moments rather than formalities.

4

Compile for the send-off

Arrange the clips, compile in minutes, and play it at the farewell or send it as their parting gift.

Prompt ideas for your video

Give contributors a great question, or write your own.

Memory

“What’s the moment with them you’ll still be telling stories about?”

Gratitude

“What did working with them, or living near them, give you?”

Send-off

“What do you wish them in the next chapter?”

Honest

“What will the place just not be without them?”

Tips for the best results

Recruit one insider

Someone close to them can name the people who must not be missed, including the ones nobody thought to ask.

Keep it a surprise if you can

A film they didn’t know was coming says more than one they signed off on.

Let the stories be specific

The inside joke lands harder than the well-wishes. Nudge people toward moments only they could tell.

Works for these, too

One link, the same effortless flow, whatever you're collecting for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do people say in a farewell video?

A story beats a speech. One memory, one thank you, one wish for what’s next. If someone blanks, the recorder offers a prompt, and thirty warm seconds outlast a page of formal goodbyes.

Can far-flung people join, like former teammates?

That’s the point. Anyone with the link records in their browser from anywhere, no app to download and no account to create. The people who left the team two years ago are often the messages that land hardest.

How many people can record a goodbye?

As many as you like on pay as you go, from a small team to a whole floor, all through the same link. Bundles cover up to 10, 25, or 50 people.

How long should we collect before the last day?

About a week works: long enough for the far-flung, short enough to stay a secret. A free collection gathers for up to 14 days, so start when the leaving date is set.

Can they keep the film?

Yes. Share it with a private link, and they can download it, so the send-off goes with them wherever they’re headed.

What if someone records after we’ve compiled?

Late goodbyes land at the end, and you can re-compile any time to include them, useful when word gets around after the party.

The messages will matter more every year.

Two minutes to set up, whenever you are ready. Free to create, and nothing to pay until you unlock the messages.
