Making a simple “family update” video when caregiving is heavy (what helped me)

Hi everyone — when I’m caregiving, I often want to keep family in the loop, but writing long messages can feel impossible. One thing that’s helped is sending a short video update instead: a few photos + a simple caption, turned into a quick clip I can share in a group chat.

I’ve been using a web tool to generate these short videos (and to try different styles quickly): http://sodavideo.ai/

It’s not medical advice — just a small way to reduce the mental load and still stay connected with people who care.

Curious if anyone else does “video check-ins” or memory clips. What format works best for you—photos with captions, voice notes, or short videos?
