What is an internal communications video maker?
An internal communications video maker is a tool that turns company updates, announcements and leadership messages into short videos. In Pictory you paste the message or upload a document, and get a narrated, captioned video you can edit, translate and share with every office.
Among internal comms tools, the one that gets watched. Pictory works as a corporate video maker for the comms team: long emails get skimmed. A two-minute internal communications video with captions reaches people on the shop floor, in the field and on their phones, and the message stays the same in every language.

Ideas
Internal videos you can make
Internal communications video examples: a company update video, a leadership message, a policy change explainer, a town hall video recap, a product launch for employees and an event announcement. Each one starts from something comms already writes, so internal video communications fit the existing calendar.
