Soapbox by Wistia enables sales professionals to create polished webcam and screen recordings that combine personal presence with visual demonstrations, making it easy to deliver compelling product walkthroughs, personalized pitches, and follow-up messages that engage prospects and communicate complex ideas clearly.
Soapbox provides a Chrome extension and desktop app that lets you record your webcam, screen, or both simultaneously with a single click, creating professional split-screen videos that show your face alongside product demonstrations, presentations, or website tours without requiring video editing skills. The platform automatically uploads recordings to Wistia's video hosting infrastructure, generating shareable links that play beautifully on any device without requiring prospects to download files or create accounts. Soapbox includes basic editing tools that let you trim recordings, remove mistakes, add custom thumbnails, and polish content before sharing, ensuring every video represents your brand professionally. The platform integrates with email clients and provides detailed viewer analytics showing who watched your video, how much they watched, engagement heatmaps indicating which sections captured attention, and re-watch data that signals strong interest. You can create video templates for common use cases like product demos, feature explanations, proposal walkthroughs, and onboarding guides that sales teams can reuse and customize for different prospects. Soapbox supports calls-to-action and lead capture forms that turn video views into actionable next steps like meeting bookings or trial signups. As a product of Wistia, a leading video hosting platform, Soapbox benefits from enterprise-grade video infrastructure, reliable playback, and professional hosting that ensures your sales videos always look great and load quickly regardless of viewer location or bandwidth.
