Record your first video memorykept on one timeline.
Video memoir — your questions
What is a video memoir?
A video memoir is your life story told on camera, in your own words. Instead of writing a book, you record video memories — so your family keeps your face, your voice, and your presence, not just text.
How do I record a video memoir?
With My Journal Story’s Heirloom plan you tap record and speak to the camera. Record one story at a time; they all collect on a private timeline you can add to for the rest of your life.
Can I leave a video message to be watched in the future?
Yes. Record a video now and schedule it to be delivered on a future date — a child’s wedding, an 18th birthday, or any milestone, even years away.
Is my video private?
Yes. Your videos are stored privately and shared only with the people you choose. You decide who can watch each one.
How is this different from just recording on my phone?
Phone videos get lost in a camera roll of thousands. My Journal Story keeps your video memories organized on one timeline, titled and dated, safe, and deliverable to the right people at the right time.
