Record a Property Walkthrough and Share It
A real estate video tour is a recording of a walkthrough: you film the property, and a buyer watches it before booking a showing. ScreenApp records the walkthrough from your phone camera or a webcam, or takes footage you already shot on another camera, and turns it into a link you can send.
Once you stop recording, ScreenApp also transcribes anything you say on camera, in 99 languages. Read back your own narration to pull out the details for a listing description instead of re-watching the clip to remember what you said.
What you get:
- Record with screen, window, browser tab, microphone and camera, with system audio, or upload footage you already have (MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV)
- trim recordings before you share
- A transcript of your narration, with timestamps
- AI chat with any recording, so you can ask it to pull out room details or draft a description from what you said
- Download the finished walkthrough as MP4, or use team workspaces and share links to send a link
- Free plan: one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat on it
ScreenApp does not build interactive 3D tours, add background music, or apply templates. If a listing needs a 360-degree walkthrough with hotspots, that is a different category of tool.
How to Make a Real Estate Video Tour
- Record the walkthrough: Walk the property with your phone camera, or record with a webcam if you are introducing yourself before a virtual showing. If you already filmed the property on another camera, upload that footage instead.
- Trim and check the narration: trim recordings to cut dead air at the start or end, then read the transcript to check the room details you called out came through clearly.
- Share it: Download the MP4 for your listing or upload it elsewhere, or generate a share link so a buyer can watch it without signing up.
Lighting and a steady hand matter more than the camera itself. Walk at a slow, even pace and narrate as you go so the transcript captures room names and features. See how we measure accuracy for how narration quality affects the transcript.
For a vertical or square cut for social media, the vertical video converter crops the same file to 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5 after you finish recording.

- vs 3DVista: 3DVista builds interactive 360-degree panorama tours with hotspots and VR viewing, a different job than a straightforward walkthrough video. ScreenApp records a regular video you can trim and share; it does not build panorama or hotspot tours.
Who Uses This for Real Estate Video Tours
Agents record a quick walkthrough on their phone between showings and send the link to a buyer who cannot make it in person that week.
Property managers film a unit before a new tenant moves in, keeping a dated record of its condition alongside the listing video.
Short-term rental hosts record a walkthrough for a listing page, narrating the layout and any quirks a guest should know about before booking.
Small agencies without a videography budget record every listing themselves instead of paying per video, and use the transcript to pull room details straight into the listing copy.
Out-of-town or relocating buyers get a recorded walkthrough to watch on their own schedule when they cannot fly in for a showing, then follow up with questions once they have seen it.
FAQ
What is a real estate video tour maker?
It is a tool for recording a walkthrough of a property and turning it into something you can share. ScreenApp records with screen, window, browser tab, microphone and camera, with system audio, or takes an upload if you already filmed the property, then lets you trim recordings and share a link.
Can I edit the video beyond trimming?
Trimming the start and end of the clip is included. ScreenApp does not add background music, text overlays, templates, or scene transitions. If a listing needs that kind of editing, a dedicated video editor is a separate step.
Does it build 3D or virtual tours?
No. ScreenApp records a regular video walkthrough. Interactive 360-degree tours with hotspots and floor plan navigation are a different category of software, like 3DVista.
Can I record on my phone?
Yes. Record with your phone’s camera through iOS and Android apps, or use a webcam or your computer’s screen through the browser recorder.
Is it free to make a real estate video tour?
The free plan includes one recording of up to 45 minutes, with the transcript and AI chat on it. Paid plans start at $19 a month billed annually and remove the per-recording limit.
What video formats can I upload?
ScreenApp accepts MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV, up to 2 GB per file.
Can I get a vertical version for Instagram or TikTok?
Yes, but as a separate step. The vertical video converter crops a finished recording to 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5.
Can AI write the listing description from my walkthrough?
ScreenApp transcribes what you say on camera, and AI chat with any recording means you can ask it to pull out the details you narrated, like room counts or features, to use as a starting point for the listing text. It does not publish the listing for you.
Is my walkthrough recording private?
Yes. Recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest with AES-256 and are not used to train AI models. Nothing is shared unless you generate a link. ScreenApp’s security controls are published on its trust center.
