How to Make AI Personalized Videos at Scale (2 Min Demo)

How Sendspark Records Videos

Sendspark

Sendspark gives you the tools to create engaging, personalized videos that leave a lasting impression. With three recording modes - webcam, screen, or a combination of both - you have the flexibility to tailor your message to your audience. The platform is accessible via a Chrome Extension for quick browser-based use or a Desktop App for recording over applications like PowerPoint or PDFs. Let’s dive into what each mode offers.

Webcam Recording for Personal Messages

The "Face" mode is designed for direct, camera-to-viewer communication, making it ideal for introductions, product pitches, or follow-ups where a personal touch matters. You can enhance your appearance with features like a "Touch Up Appearance" slider, background blur, or virtual backgrounds. The built-in 3-second countdown and on-screen pause/resume controls ensure a smooth recording experience.

For quick access, pin the Sendspark icon to your Chrome toolbar. Once your video is recorded, it’s hosted on a customizable landing page where you can add titles, logos, and call-to-action buttons to make your message stand out.

Screen Recording for Demos and Presentations

Screen recording is perfect for showcasing product demos, proposals, or presentations. You can choose to record a specific Chrome tab for a clean, professional look, an application window like Slack or PowerPoint, or your entire desktop to highlight multiple applications. For seamless audio and video sync, especially when working with non-browser applications, the Desktop App is your go-to tool. Recording a single Chrome tab also keeps your viewers focused by hiding bookmarks, open tabs, and desktop clutter.

Combined Webcam and Screen Recording

The "Both" mode combines the best of both worlds, overlaying your face in a resizable bubble on top of your screen content. You can adjust the bubble’s shape, size, and position - or use the "Spotlight" feature to enlarge it in the center of the screen for a personal introduction before transitioning to your demo.

For more dynamic presentations, such as PowerPoint slides or PDFs, the Desktop App allows you to overlay your camera bubble seamlessly. Plus, Sendspark’s "Add Video" feature lets you record a single high-quality demo and then personalize it with short introductions for different prospects - saving time while keeping your outreach personal.

"I'm confident I've found the best video prospecting tool, and it's Sendspark. Welcome to the world where AI meets video." - William Padilla, Account Executive, GRIN

How to Share Videos Instantly with Sendspark

Sendspark Video Sharing Methods Comparison Guide

Sendspark Video Sharing Methods Comparison Guide

Once you've recorded your video, sharing it is just as simple.

Sendspark makes sharing videos a breeze by automatically generating a shareable URL after you record. Just click "Copy Link" to grab the link and share it wherever you need.

For email outreach, opt for the "Copy Animated Thumbnail" feature. This creates a clickable link paired with a GIF preview of your video, which grabs attention in crowded inboxes and often leads to higher click-through rates.

Sharing on platforms like Slack, WhatsApp, or LinkedIn DMs is seamless - just paste the link, and these platforms will "unfurl" it to display a video preview. No extra steps required.

Sharing Method Best Use Case Key Feature
Copy Link LinkedIn DM, Slack, WhatsApp Quick URL with preview
Linked GIF Gmail, Outreach, SalesLoft GIF preview with clickable link
Instant Integration Gmail, LinkedIn, HubSpot Insert videos directly while composing
Email Embed Code Mailchimp, HubSpot Marketing HTML snippet for email campaigns

Pro tip: If you're using Outlook, stick to "Copy Static Thumbnail" to ensure the image displays correctly.

These sharing options help you integrate video links effortlessly into your communication workflows.

Add Videos to Emails and LinkedIn Messages

Beyond simple link sharing, Sendspark integrates directly into popular messaging platforms for even more convenience. By installing the Sendspark Chrome Extension, you can embed videos directly into Gmail, LinkedIn, HubSpot, and Outreach. Once installed, a Sendspark icon appears in the compose window, letting you record and insert videos without leaving the platform.

For LinkedIn, the extension works in Direct Messages, InMail, and Sales Navigator. Just note that video thumbnails will only display for 1st-degree connections or those who've already accepted your InMail. For public posts on LinkedIn or Facebook, download your video as an MP4 and upload it to ensure maximum visibility.

When using email marketing platforms like Mailchimp or HubSpot Marketing Cloud, leverage the HTML embed code provided by Sendspark. For the best display, resize the video thumbnail to 50%.

You can also customize the video landing page before sharing. Add a personalized title, your company logo, brand colors, and Call-to-Action buttons like "Book a Meeting" or "Reply with Video" to encourage immediate engagement. Take it a step further by using merge tags to automatically include the recipient's name, company, or job title in the video page or thumbnail for a personal touch.

"Sendspark is 'fiber for your funnel.' Whenever leads, or customers, are stuck, you can send a Sendspark video to get things moving!" - Bethany Stachenfeld, Co-founder, Sendspark

AI Personalization for Sales Outreach at Scale

Outreach

Creating personalized videos for every prospect can be a massive time drain, while generic videos often go unnoticed. Sendspark's AI changes the game by letting you record once and personalize thousands of videos in just minutes. Here's how its AI-powered features make personalization faster and more effective.

AI Voice Cloning to Say Recipient Names

Instead of recording a new video for each prospect, Sendspark uses AI to clone your voice and insert personalized greetings. For example, you can record a video using the placeholder word "watermelon" where the recipient's name would go. The AI replaces "watermelon" with each prospect's actual first name, creating a natural and customized introduction. This approach has been shown to boost email outreach replies by up to 300%.

A real-world success story comes from Warmly, which used this strategy in December 2025 to re-engage closed-lost opportunities. By personalizing their outreach, they achieved 2-3x higher email engagement and closed over $100,000 in ARR in just one month.

To get the best results, ensure your audio quality is top-notch. Use a good microphone, avoid background noise, and leave a short pause before and after saying "watermelon." This helps the AI seamlessly insert names without sounding robotic.

Dynamic Video Backgrounds for Custom Visuals

Sendspark doesn't stop at voice personalization. It also customizes the visuals behind your video bubble, automatically displaying relevant content like the prospect's company website or LinkedIn profile. The AI even simulates scrolling and cursor movements, making it look like you're actively browsing their site in real time.

This kind of visual personalization helps build trust quickly, showing prospects that you’ve done your homework. To avoid any hiccups, set a "fallback URL" for the background in case the prospect’s website link isn’t available in your data. With bulk personalization tools, you can scale this process effortlessly.

Record Once, Personalize Thousands of Videos

Sendspark allows you to import contacts from platforms like CSV files, HubSpot, or Salesforce, and then generates personalized videos for your entire list - whether it’s 100 or 10,000 prospects. The system processes these videos in minutes, making it easy to scale your outreach.

For cold outreach, keep your videos concise - 20–40 seconds is the sweet spot for maintaining engagement.

"Simply record one video, upload contacts and then generate videos, the time to generate 10, 100 or 1,000 videos is a matter of minutes." - Ben Wright, Sendspark

Video Analytics and CRM Integration

Recording and sharing videos is only the beginning. The real magic happens when you track how viewers interact with your videos, turning video outreach into a measurable and effective sales strategy. Sendspark takes care of this by tracking every interaction and syncing the data directly into your CRM. This makes it easier to spot potential leads and automate timely follow-ups.

Track Video Engagement Metrics

Sendspark provides detailed insights into who’s watching your videos by capturing information like their name, location, device type, and browser. The platform's dashboard offers powerful tools, such as engagement heatmaps, data on replayed or skipped sections, and click-through rates on CTAs (call-to-action buttons). If a prospect clicks a CTA or schedules a meeting through an embedded calendar, Sendspark immediately notifies you, ensuring you never miss the chance to follow up promptly.

For managers, the admin dashboard delivers a broader view, showing long-term stats, the best-performing videos, and the most active team members. These insights allow your team to focus on the most engaged viewers, boosting conversion rates.

And the best part? All these metrics are seamlessly integrated into your CRM, giving you actionable insights at your fingertips.

CRM Integration with HubSpot, Salesforce, and More

HubSpot

Sendspark takes video engagement data and feeds it directly into popular CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, Close, and HighLevel. Every interaction - whether it’s a video view, watch percentage, CTA click, or even a like - gets logged as a timeline event in your CRM. This gives sales reps the information they need to tailor their outreach and close deals more effectively.

Want to connect Sendspark with HubSpot? It’s simple. Head to the Integrations tab, select "HubSpot", click "Connect", and enter your 7-digit Hub ID under "Tracking Snippets." Once connected, you can automate workflows based on video engagement. For instance, you could move a lead to a "hot prospect" stage after they fully watch a demo or trigger a follow-up email when they click a CTA.

"Sendspark helps us increase the level of humanization, personalization, and trust in our prospecting emails to establish ourselves in the space and land big clients." - Chris Draper, Head of Sales, OmniPanel
