What Volley is
Volley is a video messaging app for conversations that do not require everyone to respond at the same time. People take turns sending video, audio, screen recordings, text, images, documents, files, and GIFs; video, voice, and screen recording volleys are automatically transcribed. Spaces group conversations into channels and direct messages, with threads for replies. Users can react, forward volleys, mark them for follow-up, and share public links. Apps are available for iOS, Android, Mac, and PC, and Volley also runs in a web browser. The free Basic plan includes unlimited direct messages and connections, recordings up to 3 minutes, 30-day message history, Basic Spaces for up to 10 members, and a 50 MB file limit. Pro Account costs $10/mo and adds 10-minute recordings, one-year history, and 250 MB uploads. Volley says it collects device and usage information, including IP address and in-app activity. The company was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Alpine, Utah.
