BugCam: Add Video to Your Bug Reports

Today I'm launching my project BugCam. It all started four years ago when I sent an email to the folks at Fog Creek Software, asking them to add a video capture tool, just like their screenshot tool, into FogBugz. Their response: that sounds awesome, why don't you build it! Well, here we are. We've been in private beta for 3 months, have some happy users, and we're ready to release BugCam to the world today! BugCam makes it easy to create bug videos and share them via your favorite bug tracking tool (at this point, Bugzilla, FogBugz, Gemini, JIRA, Redmine, Mantis, and Trac. Additional…

In plain words

BugCam is a video capture tool that allows users to record and attach videos to bug reports in issue tracking systems. It integrates with popular platforms including FogBugz, JIRA, Bugzilla, Redmine, Mantis, Trac, and Gemini, helping testers and developers communicate more efficiently by using video documentation instead of static screenshots alone. The tool is designed for Windows and aims to streamline the bug reporting workflow.

    Most feedback tools are built like people actually want to report bugs. They don’t. Unless you make it dead-simple, or better yet - a little fun. After shipping a few SaaS products, I noticed a pattern: Bugs? Yes. Bug reports? No. Not because users didn’t care but because reporting bugs is usually a terrible experience. Most tools want users to: * Fill out a long form * Enter their email * Describe a bug they barely understand * Maybe sign in or create an account * Then maybe submit it Let’s be real: no one’s doing that.
