Looking for a Vidyard alternative? See our ranked comparison.→What is Vidyard?
Vidyard is a video hosting and messaging platform for sales and marketing teams. Reps record personalized videos on webcam, screen, or with an AI avatar, then send them by email, LinkedIn, or a landing page. Analytics show who watched, how much, and when.
The product now leans heavily on AI avatars and "Video Agent" automation. You record a short training clip once, then generate new videos from a text prompt using your own likeness and voice. You can also set avatar videos to trigger automatically off signals like a form fill or a CRM stage change. It integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, and Marketo, so video activity shows up in pipeline reporting.

Who it's for
- ✓ Sales and marketing teams that want video hosting and CRM-linked engagement analytics in one tool
- ✓ Teams that want to scale personalized outreach with AI avatars instead of recording every video live
- ✓ Companies already on Salesforce, HubSpot, or Gong that want video data inside those workflows
Who should look elsewhere
- ✗ Solo reps or small teams who just want a quick way to record and share a screen recording without CRM integration
- ✗ Teams that need CRM integrations, SSO, or advanced admin controls with clear self-serve pricing. Those features sit on the Teams and Enterprise tiers, which are quote-only
Pros
- + The free plan includes AI avatar video creation (15 AI videos a month), not just basic recording
- + Deep CRM and sales-engagement integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Gong, Marketo) on the Teams tier and above
- + Video Agent can trigger personalized avatar videos automatically off CRM or intent signals, so you don't have to send each one by hand
- + Vidyard ships new updates most months in 2026, so the roadmap isn't stale
Cons
- – Teams and Enterprise pricing is quote-only ("Talk to Sales"). Only Free ($0) and Starter ($59/seat/month billed annually) show a public price
- – The free plan caps out at 5 regular videos and 15 AI videos a month, which is thin for daily prospecting
- – CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot) need the Teams tier or above, so smaller teams on Starter miss that connection
- – AI avatar videos can come across as impersonal or gimmicky to prospects if you overuse them in outreach
