Video: Gabmail

Image of GabMail User Interface

GabMailTM is a free, easy-to-use video email service that enables anyone with a webcam or video camera to send, reply to and forward messages to anyone with an email address.

  • You don’t have to sign up to use it. There’s no registration or log-in. It just works!
  • Each recording can be up to 5 minutes long. You’ll see a 10 second countdown before your 5 minutes are up so you won’t have to time yourself.
  • It’s compatible with your preferred email client or webmail service. Outlook, Thunderbird, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail - any email client or webmail program will work.
  • To request code for embedding, do the following:
    • After recording your GabMail™ (but before clicking ‘Send’) click the link at the lower right hand corner of the screen that says, ‘Add this video to your web site?’.
    • You’ll get html to embed in your page as well as options to choose a color scheme and/or add a title.
  • Try it out at http://www.freegabmail.com/Composer/Composer.html.

The embedded web page below is a gabmail I made earlier. Click Play under the Play Message button (near the bottom)
