“heygen fucked up twice. First they removed an avatar. If i now want to go back and update my elearning, i cant. And that should be the big benefit, that you can quickly can make changes without recording a real person. Second they changed the voice of an avatar. Same problem here. Had to redo all 42 videos cause of that. Support sucked too.”
