Welcome videos

Their first day starts before they arrive.

The gap between “signed the offer” and “knows anyone” is where new hires wobble. A film of the team saying hello, who they are, what they do, one real tip, arrives in that gap and turns day one from a room of strangers into a room of faces they’ve already met.

A welcome video is onboarding’s cheapest high-touch move. One link goes to the team; each person records thirty seconds in the browser, their name, their role, one honest tip about the place; and the new hire gets one film before their first morning. No app for anyone, no editor for the organiser, and it scales from a five-person startup to a distributed department where the new hire would otherwise meet everyone as a calendar invite. It is also the rare onboarding artifact people keep: the film of who welcomed 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 “Show us your view” 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 the clips into one film that’s yours to watch, download, and share.

How to make a welcome video

1

Open the collection at offer-signed

That gives the team a week-plus of runway to record before day one.

2

Prompt for name, role, one tip

Structure keeps clips short and makes the film genuinely useful, not just warm.

3

Get the manager in early

Their clip sets the tone and signals to the team that thirty seconds is expected.

4

Send it before the first morning

Compile and deliver the private link a few days out, so day one starts with familiar faces.

Prompt ideas for your video

Give contributors a great question, or write your own.

Intro

“Say your name, your role, and what you actually do all day.”

Tip

“Share one honest tip you wish you’d known in week one.”

Warmth

“Tell them why you’re glad they’re joining.”

Fun

“Reveal one harmless secret about this team.”

Tips for the best results

Keep clips to thirty seconds

A face-name-tip clip is a map entry. Fifteen crisp hellos beat five speeches.

Include the adjacent teams

The people they’ll email weekly matter as much as the people they’ll sit with.

Save the template

Same prompts every hire, and the ritual runs itself. New joiners often become the keenest contributors.

Works for these, too

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

Frequently Asked Questions

When should the welcome video arrive?

Between offer acceptance and day one, ideally the week before the start date. That’s the stretch where a new hire knows nobody and imagines everything.

Do teammates need an account or an app?

No. They open the link and record in the browser on any phone or laptop. Only the organiser needs an account.

How big can the welcome be?

As many people as you like on pay as you go, from the immediate team to everyone they’ll work with. Bundles cover up to 10, 25, or 50 people.

What makes a welcome clip useful, not just nice?

Name, role, and one honest tip. The warmth matters, but the film doubles as a face-to-name map the new hire will replay in week one.

Can we make this a standing ritual?

Yes, and teams do: a collection per new hire, the same prompt each time. It takes the organiser minutes, and every new person starts with a film of their team.

What about late hellos?

Late clips land at the end, and you can re-compile any time, useful when a teammate is back from leave.

Someday you’ll be glad you did this today.
