Rationale
Screenity is a Chrome extension that offers screen and camera recording, along with basic editing features like trimming and cropping. It also mentions annotation tools and the ability to save videos to Google Drive, which can then be shared. While it doesn't have instant shared links directly from its platform, the Google Drive integration serves a similar purpose for sharing. It explicitly states it does not collect user data, which aligns with a privacy-friendly approach. It lacks explicit mentions of team libraries, viewer analytics, or direct integrations like Slack/Gmail, but its core functionality aligns well with the asynchronous video communication concept.
