Hey!Spread integrates Seesmic for quick video recording
Great feature today, you can now record yourself directly on HeySpread and send your video to the best platforms in just seconds. Just click on the Webcam link and you’re ready.

For now, all the videos you record belong to the same account “particles” on Seesmic.
Also, when you record a video using Adobe Flash, the audio codec is nellymoser which is not supported by the video platforms. So, you must use the convert option otherwise the video won’t be accepted at all. Note that the option is checked by default if you use the webcam source.
Amazon S3 Buckets located in Europe supported
To upload a video to Amazon S3, we used the path-style URL like http://s3.amazonaws.com/bucket.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with Buckets located in Europe because Amazon only allows virtual hosted URL like http://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com as explained in their documentation.
To access AmazonĀ S3 buckets and objects that were created using
CreateBucketConfiguration, you must use the virtual hosted-style request.
We finally fixed this, so our upload is compatible with EU Buckets. This forum discussion is now closed.
