    • A phone number opted in to texting (required for text delivery)

  • Navigate to the Activity tab

  • Select the Video tab

Where to Find It

The recorder is right where you send everything else to a customer.

  1. Open the customer's card.

  2. Tap the video icon at the top, just under the customer's name.

If the customer has no email or cell number on file, the video option will be greyed out.

How to Use It

Pick a recording mode

When the recorder opens, you'll choose between two modes:

  • Pro Mode for standard, high-quality video. Records in 4K and lets you pause and resume to capture several clips in one take.

  • FX Mode for short, social-style video in portrait, with face filters.

Record your video

  1. Tap the record button to start.

  2. Tap pause anytime to stop and line up your next clip, then resume.

  3. While recording you can flip between the front and rear camera and turn your store logo on or off.

  4. Pause, then tap stop to finish.

Edit your clips

After you stop, you'll land in the editor. From here you can:

  • Trim clips and split them where you want

  • Drag clips to reorder them

  • Add background music

  • Fade between clips for a smoother flow

  • Pull in photos and video from your camera roll

  • Tap Add to record another clip or grab one from your library

Sending the video

  • Choose how to send the video:

    • Email: Can edit the subject line and body of email.

    • Text: Customer must be opted in to texting. Can edit the message.

  • Tap Send Video

Good to Know

  • Your resolution and frame rate settings save between sessions, so you only set them once.

  • Face filters show up only if your store has them turned on.

  • Videos you record are saved to your Video Library, so you can resend them later.
