Recording a face-to-face session

You can use the mobile app to create a new recording of an event, which is useful for face-to-face sessions. All recordings made with the mobile app will sync with the web app.

 

Create a new event


From the Home screen, press on the New Event button. 

Once the new event is open, click on the 3 dots menu on the top right and click Edit Event Name. Give your event a name, and then press Update.

Menu optionsOnce you have named your recording you can then import the PowerPoint slides if they are available. Press Import slides and locate the file.  We recommend saving the file to your OneDrive (on your laptop) and then download the OneDrive app (Apple and Android) to your phone to be able to locate it.   

If the slides are not available before the lecture they can be added retrospectively on the web application via the 3 dots Import Slides option. (see the menu page)

Once imported the slides will be displayed at the top of your screen, you then need to press start recording to begin recording the lecture.

Once you are recording use the post next slide button to mark slide changes in the recording as the lecture progresses.

Collections

When starting an event, it's a good idea to use collections to organize them into different groups.

Click on the four squares icon and then the New Collection button. Next, name the collection and start adding events to it by clicking on the New Event button.


At the end of your teaching session press the stop button to save the recording.

You will now be able to go back and review your recordings.

If you are connected to the internet, the recording will be uploaded to the cloud. If you lose your internet connection or are recording offline, the recording will be uploaded when you are next online.

The tick in the cloud icon on the top right of the screen will show when your recordings have been uploaded.

You will now be able to open your recordings from either the full list of your events from the Home screen:

Or, from with Collections.  You can select the collection group to display the contents of that folder.

You can select the 3 dots to the far right of any recording (event) to assign the recording to a collection, change its collection or to delete the recording.
