best way to collect video messages?

Couldn't think of a better title - sorry!

Its my parent's 30th Anniv in July and im planning a surprise lunch and will invite some of their best friends. however most of their long term best friends live abroad, so i thought about getting them to send video messages to me, so i could play them on the day. Does anyone have any bright ideas for how to do this? does some wonderful online service exist for this sort of thing?

TIA!

    Youtube? I think you can protect things so only friends can see them.

    Thanks Flowery, I had thought about youtube, i've just been googling and I think windows Live does something like what im thinking of too - its more to make it easy for them to just use a webcam and upload it onto a site, instead of having to use specific software to do the video, format it, email it over etc.

    thanks!

    For collecting video messages, I’ve seen the smoothest results when people ask contributors to upload unlisted YouTube videos and submit the links through a simple form. It keeps file sizes manageable and playback consistent for reviewers. When you’re sorting or watching lots of submissions, an uninterrupted viewing experience really helps with focus and time. I came across some notes on optimizing long video sessions here: https://theytpremium.com/

    That’s a really thoughtful and memorable idea—your parents will truly appreciate it! 💖 You can collect video messages via Google Drive, Padlet, or private YouTube links and compile them into one surprise video, then celebrate the day with good food inspiration from Kfcmenuu menu guide SA.

    If you're trying to keep costs down, you *could* use a shared folder on Google Drive or Dropbox. You'd just create a folder, share the link, and ask everyone to upload their videos there. But that means you'll have to keep track of who's sent what, and you'll need to do all the editing yourself, which can be a bit time-consuming.

    Another simple option, if everyone's comfortable with it, is just to ask people to send videos directly through WhatsApp or Messenger. Check out this website to get latest offers and best gaming expericence. But the video quality might not be great, and it can be a bit of a pain to organize everything.
