Pick a line below, collect a few clips, and export an **Video (MP4)**, or a quick **GIF** if it is just you. This page opens the editor on the work templates in Landscape 16:9, for a meeting-room screen or a video call. For a manager, the [boss page](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-boss) has more formal wording. Nothing is uploaded: the clips come to you, and the video is made on your own computer or phone. Start from one of these ## Happy birthday wishes for a coworker Safe for a shared screen and a team chat. Paste one into **Message**, or give each person their own line. * Happy birthday from the whole team. Meetings are better with you in them. * To the colleague who always knows where the good biscuits are hidden: happy birthday. * Wishing you a birthday with no emails, no deadlines and a lot of cake. * Happy birthday. Thanks for making Mondays bearable. * You’re the reason our team chat is worth reading. Have a great day. * Happy birthday to the best desk neighbour in the building. * Out of office: celebrating you. Happy birthday. * Here’s to another year of brilliant ideas and questionable coffee. * Happy birthday from everyone who has ever borrowed your charger. * Thanks for always having our backs. Enjoy your day. * Happy birthday. Your to-do list can wait until tomorrow. * Cheers to you, from the people who see you more than your family does. * Wishing you a fantastic birthday and a quiet inbox. * Happy birthday to our favourite colleague. (HR says we can’t rank you, so this is unofficial.) ## How to make a birthday video from the team 1. ### Collect clips quietly Message everyone except the birthday person: “Send me a five-second happy birthday clip by Thursday.” Save the clips as they arrive. 2. ### Choose a work template Press **Make a team birthday video** and pick a card from **Templates**. Type their name in **Name** and the team’s wish in **Message**. 3. ### Add everyone’s clips Press **Add photos and clips** and choose the clips in the order you want them to play, then **Add music** for a Happy Birthday tune. 4. ### Export and play it Press **Export video**. Play it at the start of a meeting, share it on the call, or post it in the team chat. ## Gathering clips without spoiling the surprise birthday.video has no shared upload link, so one person collects the clips. That turns out to be the easiest way to keep it secret: * **Make a separate chat** without the birthday person, or message people one by one. * **Ask for five to ten seconds**, phone held sideways, saying their name and one line. Shorter clips keep the whole video under two minutes. * **Set a deadline** a day before the birthday, so you have time to put it together. * **Offer a fallback.** Anyone camera-shy can send a line of text instead; put it on screen in the **Message**. Remote team? Clips filmed on laptops work fine; ask people to sit facing a window rather than with one behind them. The [group birthday video page](https://birthday.video/birthday-montage) has more on gathering clips from lots of people. ## Keeping it right for work Office birthdays work best when they are warm, short and nobody is embarrassed. A few rules most teams follow: * Check the person enjoys a fuss; some would rather a quiet card. * Leave the age out unless they mention it themselves. * Use photos from team events, not ones from someone’s personal social media. * Keep in-jokes kind; the video may be played in front of people who don’t share them. ### Colleague, not coworker? In the UK most people say colleague. Type whichever your team uses into **Message**; every word on the card can be changed. ## Coworker birthday videos: questions ### What do you write in a birthday message for a coworker? Something friendly and work-safe: thank them for something specific, mention cake, wish them a quiet inbox. The list above has lines to borrow. ### Can the whole team upload clips to one video? Not directly: there are no accounts or shared links, because nothing is uploaded to us. Colleagues send their clips to one person, who adds them with **Add photos and clips**. ### How long should a team birthday video be? Under two minutes. Five to ten seconds per person is plenty; for a big team, pick a few voices and put the other names in the **Message**. ### Can we play it on a video call? Yes. Download the MP4 and share your screen with sound, or post it in the team chat before the call. ### Is the music safe to use? The Happy Birthday arrangements under **Add music** are made for the site and free to use in the video. The melody itself is in the public domain. ### Is there a cost or a watermark? No. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. ## Birthday videos for other people * [ Birthday video maker Start from an animated template, add their name, photos and a song. ](https://birthday.video/) * [ Happy birthday boss wishes and video Respectful lines and a polished card or team video for a manager. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-boss) * [ Happy birthday teacher wishes and class video Lines from the class and a video organised by one parent. ](https://birthday.video/happy-birthday-teacher) * [ Birthday montage from friends A clip from everyone, put together into one surprise tribute video. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-montage) * [ Video birthday cards An envelope that opens on an animated card with their name and your photos. ](https://birthday.video/video-birthday-card) * [ Funny happy birthday GIFs and videos Meme captions, a fake age and their worst photo, as a GIF or a video. ](https://birthday.video/funny-happy-birthday) * [ Birthday video templates Every template in the editor, by occasion, with the formats it suits. ](https://birthday.video/birthday-video-templates)
