Dailies vs Vmaker AIThe Vmaker AI alternative for shorts from the calls you hold on Meet, Teams and Zoom
Vmaker AI used to present itself as a screen recorder; its homepage now leads with turning long videos into shorts, and the recorder is still there. You give it a file or a link, it detects the moments, scores them and returns captioned clips. Dailies does the same kind of work on one kind of video, the call: a Chrome extension records your Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call, your webcam on a track of its own, and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts a few minutes later.

What Vmaker AI does
Vmaker AI is an AI video editor that turns long videos into captioned shorts, with a recorder, subtitles, avatars and dubbing around it. It takes a file (MP4, MOV, WebM) or a link from YouTube, Google Drive, Dropbox, Vimeo, Loom, Zoom, Wistia, StreamYard, Riverside, Twitch, X or Facebook, up to 3 hours long. It detects high-engagement moments, turns them into several short clips with a virality score, and can be guided by a prompt or keywords; clips come in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, and its homepage says it reframes speakers. Subtitles are animated, with styles and animations to choose from, and can be translated; its homepage counts more than 35 languages, its subtitle page more than 75. It adds B-roll and transitions, dubs into more than 35 languages, generates human avatars from text or audio and removes a video’s background. Its recorder captures screen and webcam on Mac, on Windows and through a Chrome extension, with virtual backgrounds and a screen blur. Its website exists in French.
Where Dailies and Vmaker AI differ
A screen recorder, or a call recorder
Vmaker AI records screen and webcam, on Mac, on Windows and through a Chrome extension. The pages we read do not present it for recording a Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call, and do not say whether screen and webcam are kept as separate tracks. Dailies records exactly that case: the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, the webcam on a track of its own, so a short can show you or your guest full screen. No bot joins the call.
A file to bring, or nothing to move
Vmaker AI’s clipper starts from a file or a link. Zoom is among the sources it accepts by link; Google Meet and Microsoft Teams are not in the list we read, so a call held there would be recorded, downloaded and uploaded as a file. With Dailies there is no file to move: recording and cutting are one flow, and the shorts are ready a few minutes after you hang up.
Hesitations and guests
On a call, people pause and restart their sentences, and the other person did not come to be published. Dailies cuts silences, filler words and false starts out of every short, and one switch blurs your guests and disguises their voice. We found neither a removal of silences or filler words nor a guest blur on the Vmaker AI pages we read, which is why the table says “not stated” on those lines.
What Vmaker AI does that Dailies does not
Vmaker AI takes a long video by file or by link and scores each clip. It adds B-roll, dubs into more than 35 languages, translates subtitles, generates avatars and records your screen and webcam. Dailies does none of that: it does not edit a video you upload. It makes shorts from the calls it records, and you download each one in Full HD to post it yourself.
Questions people ask
Can Vmaker AI record a Google Meet, Teams or Zoom call?
Its pages do not present it for that. Vmaker AI has a screen and webcam recorder on Mac, on Windows and as a Chrome extension, and its clipper accepts Zoom recordings by link; recording a call is not presented on the pages we read. Dailies is made for it: a Chrome extension that records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam.
Does Vmaker AI make shorts automatically?
Yes. It detects high-engagement moments in a video of up to 3 hours and turns them into several short clips with a virality score, optionally guided by a prompt or keywords, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. Dailies also picks by itself, up to eight passages per call, from the calls it records.
Does Vmaker AI work in French?
We could not confirm it for subtitles. Its pages state more than 35 subtitle languages, or more than 75 depending on the page, without naming French on those we read. Its website does exist in French. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, and its interface is in French.
Is Dailies a Vmaker AI alternative for YouTube videos or webinars?
No. Dailies does not edit a video you upload or link: it only makes shorts from the calls it records in Chrome. For a video that already exists, a clipping tool such as Vmaker AI is the right kind of tool.
Your next call already holds your next shorts.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
