The trumpet Video Widget lets you record, customise, and share videos directly inside trumpet, no external tools required.
Use video to share async updates, walkthroughs, demos, and deal context without breaking your flow.
What is the trumpet Video Widget?
The Trumpet Video Widget is a native video recording and playback experience inside trumpet.
With it, you can:
Record screen, camera, or both
Make lightweight edits without leaving trumpet
Customise the look and feel to match your brand
Manage all videos from the Content Library
Videos are added to pods using the “trumpet video” widget and are stored centrally for easy reuse.
How to add a video to a pod or template
Open a pod or template
Add a new widget
Select trumpet video
Record a new video or choose one from your Content Library
Once added, the video will appear as a branded, embedded player inside the pod.
Recording options
When recording a video, you can choose exactly how you want to present:
Recording modes
Screen + camera
Screen only
Camera only
Audio & device controls
Select your camera and microphone
Option to disable microphone
Live preview before recording so you can check framing and sound
Countdown settings
Configure an advanced countdown timer before recording starts, giving you time to prepare
Pause, resume, and stay smooth
Pause and resume — pause a recording at any point (for example, if someone knocks on the door) and pick up right where you left off.
Smooth in the background — recordings stay smooth at 30fps even if you switch to another browser tab mid-recording.
Your face bubble stays in the video — in Screen & Camera mode, your face bubble is built directly into the recording, so it stays in your chosen corner for the whole video, including when you share a single window. The on-page preview bubble hides once recording starts, so you’re always in the final video.
Your recorder settings are remembered
The recorder opens with your last-used setup — recording mode, mic on/off, mic and camera selection, background/blur, frame colour, and bubble position. These are saved to your profile, so they follow you across browsers. If a saved device isn’t connected, trumpet falls back to the system default.
Visual customisation
Make your videos look on-brand and polished:
Background options for camera recordings:
Blur
Custom image
Custom frames and colours to match your branding
Adjustable camera position during screen recordings
These settings help your videos feel consistent with the rest of your trumpet experience.
Processing & playback
After recording, videos are automatically processed to ensure smooth playback across devices.
Each video includes:
An auto-generated thumbnail
An animated preview clip (GIF-style)
A branded video player with configurable:
Theme
Text colour
Accent colour
Editing & managing videos
All videos are stored and managed in the Content Library, where you can:
Edit video details
Rename a video (updates everywhere it’s used)
Set or change the thumbnail
Select a custom preview clip (up to 5 seconds)
Trimming and cutting
The video editor lets you cut sections from the middle of a video, not just trim the start and end. Your original video is always preserved as a new version is created.
Add a cut — position the playhead on the timeline and click Add Cut to mark a section for removal. Add as many cuts as you need.
Resize a cut — drag the handles on either side of a cut to fine-tune exactly what gets removed.
Remove a cut — click the × on any cut.
Live preview — playback skips over cut sections, so you can preview the final result before saving.
Save — saving stitches the kept segments into a single new video, with audio.
Manage video versions
Replace an existing video
Re-record a video
Delete videos you no longer need
Control access
Disable video downloading if required
Video transcription
Trumpet automatically generates transcripts for your videos to improve accessibility and navigation.
You can:
View a full transcript
Click timestamps to jump to specific moments
Show or hide the transcript depending on your use case
Where your videos live
All videos are saved in the Content Library
Videos can be reused across multiple pods
Updates to a video (like renaming or replacing) are reflected everywhere it’s used
