Retirement videos

A retirement send-off from every colleague and friend.

Decades of work mean decades of people whose lives they touched. Gather farewell messages and favorite stories from coworkers past and present, and we’ll turn them into one send-off film worth more than any plaque.

After a long career, the best retirement gift isn’t a watch — it’s proof of the impact someone had. A retirement video brings together colleagues from every chapter, including the ones who moved on years ago, to share a story, a thank-you, or a favorite memory. Send one link around the office (and the alumni group chat), and videos.me compiles every clip into a single film to play at the send-off and hand them on their way out.

How it works

Three steps, a few minutes, zero editing skills.

1

Create a link

Add a prompt like “Show us your view” and get one shareable link in seconds.

2

Everyone records

Anyone with the link opens it and records a short clip right in their browser — no app, no account.

3

We make the film

We stitch every angle into one film — yours to watch, download, and share.

How to make a retirement video

1

Loop in current and former colleagues

Share the link around the team and the alumni group — past coworkers often have the best stories.

2

Ask about impact

Prompt people for what the retiree taught them, or a favorite memory of working together.

3

Give a week to record

A week of lead time lets busy colleagues find a quiet moment to record.

4

Compile for the send-off

Order the clips, compile the film, and play it at the farewell or hand it over as a gift.

Prompt ideas for your video

Give contributors a great question — or write your own.

Impact

“What did working with them teach you?”

Story

“Share a story that sums them up.”

Thanks

“What do you want to thank them for?”

Next

“What are you wishing them for retirement?”

Questions, answered

Can former coworkers contribute too?

Yes — send the link to anyone, including people who’ve since left the company. Their messages often mean the most.

Is this okay for a professional setting?

Completely. Collections are private, contributors don’t need accounts, and you control the final film before it’s shared.

Can HR or a few organizers manage it together?

One person owns the collection and link, but anyone can contribute. Share the link as widely as you like.

Can we download it to keep on file?

Yes — download the finished film in full quality to play at the event and give to the retiree.

Is this appropriate for a senior leadership send-off?

Yes — it scales from a small team to the whole company, and you control the final film before it’s shared.

Can remote employees take part?

Absolutely — everyone records on their own time from wherever they work.
