In the screenshot above, you can start recording the message after hitting the record button and then playback and email it. Unfortunately, my webcam had some hardware issues so I couldn’t capture my video, but I’ve got the tool tested and it works. You could specify a deletion time in days and self-destruct time in views.

Although the email can be sent to only one recipient, it could be forwarded and hence a self-destruct time of 1 view is recommended.

Another nice feature is that the videos are hosted on their server, so no huge emails in the inbox. A premium service is in the offing which will introduce more features.
