Does MoveVision run a live survey call?

MoveVision’s survey is self-recorded. Your customer opens a branded link in their phone browser, records rooms and submits the survey. Your estimator reviews the video and draft afterward.

Can a live video call be recorded?

Yes, some calling products and plans provide recordings and transcripts. Check your provider’s features and permissions. This comparison is about the self-recorded inventory workflow, not a claim that live calls leave no record.

What if the customer misses a room or an important detail?

Your estimator checks the submitted survey and follows up on gaps before quoting. Customers who need real-time help may be better served by a live call or an in-home visit.

A walkthrough without matching calendars.

A live call lets your estimator ask the next question immediately. MoveVision lets the customer film when it suits them, then gives your estimator a draft to check against that video.

A live call shares one appointment

Customer and estimator are there together.

The customer shows the home

They walk through the rooms while your estimator watches.

Your estimator asks as they go

Ask for another angle or clarify an item during the conversation.

MoveVision separates those moments

Choose this when the customer can film independently.

The customer records when ready
Room tips, spoken notes and photo close-ups help them capture the home.
Your estimator reviews afterward
Check the drafted list against the video. Follow up on anything the recording leaves unclear.

Where each approach fits

Both approaches can show the home without sending your estimator there. The practical difference is when the conversation happens: during a shared appointment, or after the customer has recorded the rooms. Choose the approach that gives your team enough information for this move.

Live video calls

Choose a live call when the customer wants a conversation or needs someone to direct the camera and ask follow-up questions as they go. Calling tools can also offer recordings, transcripts and AI notes, depending on the product and plan.

MoveVision

Consider MoveVision when the customer can film independently and your estimator needs to review at another time. Room-by-room tips, pace and blur coaching, narration and photo close-ups help the customer capture the home. The drafted list and video then sit together for review.

The workflow, side by side

These are common ways of working. A particular tool or custom setup may work differently.

Finding a time: Live video callsThe customer and surveyor join at the same time.; MoveVisionThe customer records independently and can stop and resume. Your estimator reviews later.
Guiding the camera: Live video callsYour surveyor can ask the customer to show another angle immediately.; MoveVisionRoom tips and on-device pace and blur coaching guide capture. Your estimator follows up on missing detail.
Creating the list: Live video callsYour surveyor records the inventory, or uses the inventory tools offered by the calling platform.; MoveVisionMoveVision drafts a room inventory from the clips and narration. Your estimator corrects the draft.
Reviewing later: Live video callsUse notes, and recordings or transcripts when your calling setup includes them.; MoveVisionEach inventory line keeps its video moment and still frame, so your estimator can check the item directly.
The customer’s part: Live video callsQuestions and answers happen during the conversation.; MoveVisionThe customer can check drafted items, fix counts, mark moving or staying, and add a missed item or note.

What to plan for

Self-recording depends on what the customer shows and says. Your estimator cannot redirect the camera during the recording. If the view is incomplete or an item needs clarification, follow up before finalizing the quote; a call or visit may be the right next step.
