Start a Chorus book for a person, and get the one link to forward.
start_bookStarts a book of voice, video and written messages for one person, and returns the single link the organiser sends to everyone taking part. Gathering is free and the people recording need no app and no account. Use this as soon as somebody wants to collect messages from a group for one person, whether or not there is an occasion.
