A browser video studio for teams with no video team

VEED is a browser-based video editing and AI video creation platform with a built-in screen and webcam recorder, automatic subtitles and translation, AI avatars, text-to-video generation, background and noise removal, brand kits, and shareable links with comments; it was founded in London in 2018 by Sabba Keynejad and Tim Mamedov, raised $35M from Sequoia, and runs from a free watermarked tier up to $35 a seat for Studio.

Overview

VEED started as a bootstrapped side project in London in March 2018. Sabba Keynejad and Tim Mamedov built a browser video editor and grew it to over a million dollars of annual revenue before taking any outside money, largely on the back of an SEO strategy that put them in front of every search for adding subtitles to a video. Sequoia led a $35M round in 2022 at a reported $160M valuation. The company is now remote-first with more than 150 people and has repositioned from an online editor into an AI video creation platform.

For this category, the relevant fact is that VEED includes a competent screen and webcam recorder and hosts what you make with a shareable link that viewers can comment on. That makes it possible to record something once and send it, which is the job this category describes. But VEED is not primarily an async messaging tool and pretending otherwise leads to disappointment. It is a production environment. The recorder exists so that footage can enter the editor, and the editor is where the value is.

The AI surface is the current center of gravity. Automatic subtitles across a very wide language set, translation and dubbing across 50 or more languages, AI avatars, text-to-video generation through multiple underlying models, eye contact correction, background removal without a green screen, and voice generation are all in the product. All of it is metered by AI credits, and the credits are the thing you should scrutinize hardest: 20 generations a month on Free, 6,000 a year on Creator, 30,000 on Pro, and 180,000 on Studio, with unused credits expiring monthly or annually rather than rolling over.

Pricing is per seat, which is easy to misread from the pricing page. Free is watermarked, 720p, ten minute maximum length, and 2GB. Creator is $10 a seat with 1080p, no watermark, unlimited length, three seats, and 5GB. Pro is $21 a seat with 4K and 50GB. Studio is $35 with unlimited storage, five seats, and the enormous credit allowance. A three person team on Pro is $63 a month, not $21, and the storage numbers below Studio are small enough that a team working in 4K will need to be disciplined about clearing old projects.

Best for

Marketing, social, and content teams that produce a steady volume of short video, need subtitles and translation constantly, and want everyone editing in a browser without installing software or learning a professional editor.

Not the right fit for

Sales teams doing video outreach; there is no per-prospect personalization, no animated email thumbnail tied to a contact, no view alerts, and no CRM integration, so this does none of the job Sendspark or Vidyard exists to do.
Anyone who wants a fast internal async message; recording, editing in a browser, rendering, and sharing is a slower loop than Loom's record-and-paste, and you are paying for a studio to send a two minute update.
Teams that need predictable costs on AI usage; credits are metered per tier and expire without rolling over, so a heavy translation or avatar month is a planning problem rather than a line item.
Buyers who assumed the headline price is the team price; every paid plan is per seat, so a five person team on Pro is $105 a month, not $21.
Editors doing long-form or technically demanding work; a browser editor at 4K on large projects has real performance ceilings that a desktop application does not.

How it works

1
You work entirely in a browser. There is nothing to install, which is the main reason VEED spreads inside organizations where people cannot install software on their laptops.
2
You bring in footage by recording your screen, your webcam, or both from the built-in recorder, uploading existing files, or generating video from text using one of the AI models the platform exposes.
3
You edit on a timeline that is deliberately approachable: trim, split, add text, add music from a stock library, layer images, and apply transitions. It is a real editor with a low floor rather than a stripped-down template filler.
4
You apply the AI layer. Subtitles are generated automatically and can be styled and animated. Background noise is removed, backgrounds are replaced without a green screen, eye contact is corrected, and the whole thing can be translated and dubbed into other languages. Each of these consumes credits from your plan allowance.
5
You apply brand consistency through a brand kit on the higher tiers, so fonts, colors, and logos stay the same across everyone's output without a written style guide.
6
You export at 720p watermarked on Free, 1080p on Creator, or 4K on Pro and Studio, or you share a link. People who open a shared link can watch and leave comments but cannot edit, which is what makes VEED usable for review cycles and for sending a finished video to someone outside the company.

Feature breakdown

28 features in 5 modules

Recording and capture

Competent, browser-based, and clearly built to feed the editor rather than to compete with Loom.

Screen recording in the browser: Capture your screen with no download or extension required, which matters in locked-down corporate environments where installing a desktop recorder is not an option.
Webcam recording: Record camera alone or alongside the screen, choosing a layout before you start.
Layout selection: Pick between camera, screen, audio-only, and combinations at capture time rather than composing them afterwards.
1080p capture: Recordings capture at 1080p, which is adequate for demos and tutorials, though export resolution is separately gated by plan.
Upload existing footage: Bring in video from a phone, a camera, or another tool and edit it with the same toolset as anything recorded in VEED.
No mobile recording: Recording from a phone or tablet is not supported; you record from a desktop or laptop browser. Worth knowing before you plan a field-recording workflow around it.

Editing

A genuine timeline editor with a deliberately low floor.

Timeline editing in a browser: Trim, split, reorder, and layer clips without installing anything, with an interface that a non-editor can use on day one.
Text, titles, and animation: Animated text and title treatments that carry a lot of the production value in short social video.
Stock audio and video library: Unlimited stock audio and video on paid plans, which removes the licensing question from routine content work.
Transitions and effects: A standard set of transitions and visual effects, enough for marketing output and not intended for cinematic work.
Resize and reframe: Convert a horizontal video into vertical or square formats for different platforms without recutting it.
Brand kit: Store fonts, colors, and logos so everything the team produces looks like it came from the same company. Full brand kit access sits on the higher plans.

Subtitles, translation, and accessibility

The feature that built the company and still the most reliable reason to buy it.

Automatic subtitles: Generated from the audio and editable in place, with styling and animation options. This is what VEED became known for and it remains fast and accurate on clean audio.
Translation and dubbing in 50 or more languages: Translate the subtitles and generate dubbed audio, turning one recording into a localized set without re-shooting or hiring voice talent.
Subtitle styling and burn-in: Captions can be styled and burned into the exported file, which is necessary because most social and in-feed video is watched without sound.
Transcript generation: The generated transcript is reusable as a blog post, show notes, or documentation rather than only as captions.
Text to speech: Generate narration from a script rather than recording it, with substantial annual allowances on the higher plans.

AI generation and cleanup

Broad, impressive, and metered by credits that do not roll over.

AI avatars: Synthetic presenters that deliver a typed script, with several hours of avatar generation included per year on the higher tiers.
Text to video generation: Generate video from a prompt using multiple underlying models exposed through the platform, consuming generation credits.
Background removal: Remove or replace the background of a webcam recording without a physical green screen.
Eye contact correction: Adjusts gaze so a presenter reading from a script appears to be looking at the camera, which is the difference between a video that reads as direct and one that reads as distracted.
Background noise removal: Cleans up room noise from a laptop or headset recording so a casual capture is listenable.
AI credit metering: 20 generations a month on Free, 6,000 a year on Creator, 30,000 on Pro, and 180,000 on Studio. Unused credits expire monthly on monthly plans and annually on annual plans, with no rollover.

Sharing, collaboration, and administration

Enough to run a review cycle, not enough to run an outreach programme.

Shareable links with comments: Send a link and let people watch and comment without giving them edit access. This is the mechanism that makes VEED work for feedback loops with stakeholders and clients.
Seats bundled per plan: One seat on Free, three on Creator and Pro, five on Studio, and custom on Enterprise, with pricing charged per user rather than per workspace.
Storage allowances: 2GB on Free, 5GB on Creator, 50GB on Pro, and unlimited on Studio. The 5GB on Creator is small enough that a working team will be deleting projects regularly.
Export quality by tier: 720p with a watermark on Free, 1080p on Creator, 4K on Pro and above. The watermark is the hard gate rather than the resolution.
Enterprise controls: Custom seat counts, custom credits, and enterprise administration are available on a quoted plan.

Use cases

4 documented

Social media manager producing daily short video

Every clip needs captions, a vertical crop, brand fonts, and music, and doing that in a desktop editor for five clips a day is a full-time job.

Automatic subtitles, the resize tool, and a brand kit turn each clip into a ten minute task in a browser, with the stock library removing the music licensing question.

Support team building help center videos

Fifty articles need a short walkthrough each, the team cannot install software on locked-down machines, and nobody is a video editor.

Browser-based screen recording plus automatic subtitles produces consistent walkthroughs, and shared links let the docs lead comment on each one before it goes live.

Marketer localizing a product video

The English explainer works and the company is opening in three more markets, but re-shooting with local voice talent is out of budget.

Translation and dubbing across 50 or more languages produces localized versions from the original recording, with subtitles regenerated per language, at the cost of AI credits rather than a production budget.

Founder recording a webinar follow-up

A 45 minute webinar recording is too long for anyone to watch and needs to become a handful of usable assets.

The recording is trimmed into short clips, captioned, reframed vertically, and shared as links that stakeholders can comment on, all without leaving the browser.

Pricing

from $10 per user per month (Creator, billed annually)

Per-seat subscription with AI credit allowances, storage caps, seat counts, and export resolution stepping by tier. Credits expire rather than rolling over.

Plan	Price	Includes
Free	$0 per user per month	Browser editor and screen recorder 720p export with a VEED watermark Ten minute maximum video length 20 AI generations per month 2GB storage, one seat The watermark makes this an evaluation tier. Nothing you publish externally should come off it.
Creator	$10 per user per month, billed annually ($120 per year)	1080p export with no watermark Unlimited video length 6,000 AI credits per year Unlimited stock audio and video 5GB storage, up to three seats The 5GB storage is the pinch point. Fine for short social clips, tight for anything longer.
Pro	$21 per user per month, billed annually ($252 per year)	4K export 30,000 AI credits per year AI avatars, text to video, and translation across 50 or more languages Full brand kit 50GB storage, up to three seats The plan most marketing teams land on, and the first with 4K and the serious AI allowance.
Studio	$35 per user per month, billed annually ($420 per year)	180,000 AI credits per year Unlimited storage 4K export Up to five seats Everything in Pro Buy this for the credit allowance and unlimited storage rather than for extra editing capability.
Enterprise	Custom contact sales	Custom seats and credits Enterprise administration 4K export and unlimited storage Negotiated terms

Billing notes

All paid plans are per user. The headline prices are single seat costs, so a three person team on Pro is $63 a month and a five person team on Studio is $175.
AI credits do not roll over. Unused credits expire monthly on monthly billing and annually on annual billing, so paying for a large allowance you use unevenly wastes money.
Storage is a real constraint below Studio: 2GB on Free, 5GB on Creator, 50GB on Pro. Teams working in 4K will spend time deleting old projects on anything under Studio.
The free tier caps video length at ten minutes and watermarks every export, which makes it unusable for anything customer facing.
VEED has repeatedly reorganized its plan names and structure, moving from a Lite, Pro, and Business lineup to the current Free, Creator, Pro, Studio, and Enterprise set. Comparison articles frequently quote the old names and prices, so verify against the vendor's own page before budgeting.

Value assessment: Creator at $10 a seat is one of the cheapest ways to get an unwatermarked 1080p editor with automatic subtitles into the hands of a marketing team, and for that specific job VEED is excellent value. Pro at $21 is where the AI features stop being a demo, and it competes directly with Descript Creator at $24. The value case gets murky at the top: Studio at $35 a seat is a large annual credit pile that many teams will not exhaust, and the per-seat structure means a modest team on Pro or Studio is paying real money. Buy the tier that matches your credit and storage consumption, not the one whose feature list looks best.

Strengths & limitations

Strengths

Runs entirely in a browser with nothing to install, which is the deciding factor in organizations where people cannot install software.
Automatic subtitles are fast, accurate on clean audio, editable, and stylable. This is the feature the company was built on and it still works better than most alternatives.
Translation and dubbing across 50 or more languages turns one recording into a localized set without re-shooting.
Creator at $10 a seat for unwatermarked 1080p with unlimited stock media and unlimited video length is aggressive pricing.
Genuinely approachable for non-editors; someone who has never edited video can produce a captioned, branded, resized clip in an afternoon.
Broad AI toolkit including avatars, text to video across multiple models, eye contact correction, background removal, and noise removal.
Well funded and substantial: $35M from Sequoia, more than 150 people, and years of continuous operation, so the vendor risk is low.
Shared links with comment-only access make review cycles with stakeholders and clients straightforward.

Limitations

AI credits expire rather than rolling over, and the allowances are annual on annual plans, which makes uneven usage expensive.
Storage below Studio is small: 5GB on Creator and 50GB on Pro. Teams working at 4K will be managing space rather than making video.
Per-seat pricing means the headline numbers understate team cost by a factor of three to five.
Nothing for sales outreach: no personalized landing pages, no email thumbnails tied to a prospect, no CRM push, no view alerts.
Viewer analytics are effectively absent. Shared links collect comments, not completion curves or drop-off data.
No mobile recording; you must record from a desktop or laptop browser.
Browser-based editing hits performance ceilings on long or complex projects that a desktop application would handle comfortably.
The plan lineup has been restructured repeatedly, so third-party pricing information about VEED is unusually unreliable and should never be trusted over the vendor page.

Head-to-head comparisons

5 alternatives

VEED vs Descript

from $16 per month billed annually (Hobbyist), or $24 billed monthly

Descript edits by transcript, repairs audio with Studio Sound, clones voices, and records remote multitrack sessions, from $16 a month on annual Hobbyist with metered media hours. VEED is browser-only, cheaper at the entry point, and stronger on subtitles, translation, and short-form social output. Choose Descript when the words carry the video and the recording is long; choose VEED when the output is short, visual, captioned, and produced in volume.

Full VEED vs Descript comparison

VEED vs Vmaker

from $18 per month (Starter)

Vmaker covers similar ground at a similar price with AI clipping, avatars, and subtitles, plus a stronger screen recorder story across desktop and Chrome. VEED has the better editor, far broader translation, and a much larger company behind it. Take Vmaker if screen recording and turning long recordings into clips is the main job; take VEED if editing and subtitling are.

Full VEED vs Vmaker comparison

VEED vs Screen Studio

from $9 per month billed yearly ($108 per year), or $20 per month billed monthly

Screen Studio is a macOS app that makes screen recordings look beautiful automatically for $108 a year, with no subtitle pipeline worth the name and no team features. VEED does subtitles, translation, and social repurposing across a whole team in a browser. They solve different halves of the problem, and a Mac-based marketing team could reasonably run both.

Full VEED vs Screen Studio comparison

VEED vs Weet

from $24 per creator per month billed yearly ($29 billed monthly)

Weet is a training-video tool with interactive annotations, quizzes on Enterprise, avatars, and 100-plus language subtitles at $24 per creator per month, built around teaching people something. VEED is a general video studio with far more editing depth and no learning features. Pick Weet if the videos are training modules that need interactivity and tracking; pick VEED if they are marketing assets.

Full VEED vs Weet comparison

VEED vs Loom

from $0 (Starter), then $18 per user per month billed monthly (Business)

Loom is built for the video you record and send in ninety seconds, with instant links, a team library, and viewer analytics. VEED is built for the video you make. The overlap is only the recorder, and VEED's recorder is a way to get footage into the editor rather than a messaging tool. Most teams need Loom for one and VEED or a peer for the other.

Implementation & onboarding

Setup time: Minutes. Open the browser, sign up, and record or upload. There is nothing to install and no permissions beyond the browser's own camera and screen access prompts. Brand kit setup takes an hour and is worth doing before anyone produces their first published video.
Learning curve: Low. The editor is designed for people who are not editors, and the subtitle and resize workflows are close to one-click. The learning that does take time is credit management: understanding which actions consume credits and how quickly a translation or avatar habit burns through an allowance.
Onboarding: Fully self-serve through Studio. Enterprise involves a sales conversation for custom seats and credits. Documentation and a large tutorial library cover the product, and the free tier makes evaluation easy despite the watermark.
Migration notes: Nothing to migrate in: upload existing footage and edit it. Migrating out is straightforward for finished assets, because exports are standard video files you own at up to 4K on Pro and Studio, but projects, brand kits, and shared comment threads do not travel. Export finished work before cancelling, and note that shared links go dead, which matters if VEED links are embedded in help center articles or landing pages.

Platform, API & security

Platforms: Web browser (desktop and laptop)No native desktop application requiredNo mobile recording support
API: VEED has offered API and automation surfaces around subtitle and video generation, but the product is fundamentally a browser application rather than a developer platform, and the primary integration path is exporting standard video files.
Compliance: GDPR as a UK and EU headquartered company; no SOC 2 status prominently marketed on the self-serve tiers
Data residency: Not published as a customer-selectable option. Media is processed and stored on VEED's cloud infrastructure.
SSO: Not published on the self-serve tiers; enterprise administration is handled through a quoted plan.
Security notes: Everything is processed in the cloud, including AI generation, so recordings that contain customer or production data leave your machine by design. Shared links grant view and comment access without edit rights, which is the main access control available on self-serve plans. Buyers with a formal security review should ask directly about certification status rather than assuming it, since it is not advertised on the pricing tiers.

Support & resources

Channels: Email supportIn-app helpPriority handling on higher tiers
Documentation: Extensive help center and tutorial library at veed.io covering the editor, recorder, subtitles, translation, and AI tools.
Community: Very large user base built through years of search-led growth, with a substantial body of third-party tutorial content.

Frequently asked questions

10 questions

What is VEED?

VEED is a browser-based video editor and AI video creation platform. It includes a screen and webcam recorder, a timeline editor, automatic subtitles, translation and dubbing across 50 or more languages, AI avatars, text to video generation, background and noise removal, and brand kits, plus shareable links that viewers can comment on.

How much does VEED cost?

Free is $0 with 720p watermarked exports, a ten minute length cap, 20 AI generations a month, and 2GB storage. Creator is $10 a seat annually with 1080p, no watermark, unlimited length, 6,000 annual credits, and 5GB. Pro is $21 with 4K, 30,000 credits, and 50GB. Studio is $35 with 180,000 credits and unlimited storage. Enterprise is quoted. All paid plans are per user.

Do AI credits roll over?

No. Unused credits expire monthly on monthly plans and annually on annual plans. This is the single most important thing to understand about VEED's pricing, because a team with uneven usage will pay for an allowance it never touches in quiet months and then still run short in a heavy translation or avatar month.

Is there a storage limit?

Yes, and it is tighter than people expect. 2GB on Free, 5GB on Creator, 50GB on Pro, and unlimited only on Studio. A team working at 4K on Creator or Pro will spend real time deleting old projects. When you downgrade, plan on exporting anything you want to keep first rather than assuming it stays accessible.

Does VEED work as an async video messaging tool?

Partly. You can record in the browser and share a link that people watch and comment on, which covers the basic job. What you do not get is the async messaging apparatus: no viewer completion data, no drop-off analytics, no team video library built for volume, and no integrations that put a video into a Slack or CRM workflow. For daily internal messages, Loom or Tella are better shaped; VEED is better when the video needs producing.

Can I send a VEED video inside an email?

You send a link or attach the exported file. No major email client plays video inline, so a recipient sees a thumbnail or an attachment and has to click. VEED does not offer a custom domain for shared links or vendor branding removal on the viewing page below an enterprise arrangement, so the viewing experience carries VEED's context rather than yours.

How good is the subtitling and how many languages does it cover?

Subtitling is what VEED was built on and it remains one of the best implementations available: fast, accurate on clean audio, fully editable in place, and stylable with animation. Translation and dubbing extend across 50 or more languages. On noisy or heavily accented audio you will still be correcting the text, and the automatic timing occasionally needs nudging, but for the ordinary case it is close to one click.

Do I own the exported file?

Yes on paid plans, and exports are unwatermarked from Creator upward at 1080p, or 4K on Pro and Studio. Free exports are watermarked at 720p and should not be used externally. Files you export are yours permanently, but shared VEED links and their comment threads stop working when you cancel, so swap embedded links out before you leave.

Can I record on my phone with VEED?

No. Recording requires a desktop or laptop browser; mobile device recording is not supported. You can upload footage shot on a phone and edit it, but the capture step itself has to happen on a computer.

Who owns VEED and how stable is it?

VEED was founded in London in March 2018 by Sabba Keynejad and Tim Mamedov, bootstrapped past $1M in revenue, and raised $35M from Sequoia in 2022 at a reported $160M valuation. It is remote-first with more than 150 people. Vendor risk is low. The instability to watch is commercial rather than corporate: the plan structure has been reorganized repeatedly, so verify pricing on the vendor's own page rather than from comparison articles.

Editorial verdict

VEED is the right tool for a team that produces video rather than one that sends it. The browser-only architecture means everyone can use it including people who cannot install software, the subtitling and translation are genuinely best in class, and Creator at $10 a seat for unwatermarked 1080p is hard to argue with. Pro at $21 is where the AI toolkit becomes real and where it competes directly with Descript. The things to check before you buy are unglamorous: AI credits expire rather than rolling over, storage below Studio is tight enough to become an operational chore, and every price is per seat so a small team costs several times the headline. Understand that VEED gives you almost no viewer analytics and nothing at all for sales outreach, buy it for the marketing and content job it does well, and pair it with a dedicated async messaging tool for the videos you simply need to send.
