hello vipers today we're going to talk

0:02

about

0:03

how you can record videos using

0:06

the default windows

0:10

camera app and so an advantage here

0:14

is that this will allow you to record

0:17

videos

0:18

either using an alternate webcam that

0:21

you have set up

0:22

because browsers don't let you change

0:25

from from one camera to the other and

0:28

another

0:29

advantage here as well is that you'll be

0:31

able to

0:33

have a more reliable connection uh so

0:36

while an advantage to using this record

0:38

video button in your browser is that

0:40

it's

0:40

easy uh a disadvantage is that

0:44

this connection relies on you having a

0:47

stable internet connection

0:49

uh so if you have a if you're recording

0:51

a long video it's like 20 minutes long

0:53

or something like that

0:54

and there's a hiccup in your internet

0:56

connection along the way you could you

0:58

risk

0:58

losing that entire video whereas if you

1:01

are just recording a video into a file

1:03

that went straight onto your hard drive

1:05

then that is a just a more stable

1:08

connection there are fewer variables

1:11

going on there so um so

1:14

often it's uh it's just it's safer to

1:18

just record straight to your hard drive

1:20

and thankfully in windows it's really

1:24

easy to do this as well

1:26

windows has comes with a really great

1:28

default

1:29

camera app so to access this

1:33

you'll just want to hit your the windows

1:35

key

1:36

or go down to the bottom left corner

1:38

where it says tap type here to search

1:41

i'm using a dual monitor setup here and

1:44

i don't have that task bar

1:46

on this window so you can't see it but

1:48

just hit

1:49

i'm hitting my windows key type starting

1:51

to type in camera and

1:54

before i even finish the word it shows

1:56

the camera app

1:58

so you hit enter on that and there you

2:00

go now you have your your windows camera

2:02

app that pops up here

2:04

and then this is kind of like a like a

2:07

cell phone interface really you know you

2:09

have your

2:10

take video button take photos you want

2:13

to make sure the video one

2:14

is the one that is highlighted also uh

2:18

so many of you might be using this

2:20

because you're looking for a way to uh

2:23

to use a webcam as opposed to your

2:25

default uh

2:27

as opposed to your laptop's default

2:30

webcam

2:31

um since i'm using a desktop here i'm

2:33

not

2:34

able to i don't have multiple cameras so

2:36

i can't show you exactly

2:38

how you change them in the in the

2:42

page like in the help center

2:45

uh page for this i'm going to include a

2:48

link to uh to an article that i found on

2:51

on microsoft's support forum talking

2:54

about how to change

2:55

uh cameras in this um from my

2:58

understanding the

2:59

the option pops up when you have

3:01

multiple cameras

3:02

and it's hidden when you only have once

3:04

but i believe that you

3:05

want to go over to this gear here and

3:07

you should probably somewhere in here

3:10

see a place to to change cameras i'm

3:13

guessing it's probably going to be

3:15

somewhere

3:15

around here so this is where you'll have

3:19

that option

3:20

[Music]

3:21

so to record your video just go

3:24

here you hit take video it's very

3:27

similar

3:28

actually to how it plays out in our

3:31

web app where you just let it roll you

3:34

hit stop

3:35

and it's saved and uh and then to

3:39

to locate this you can either just

3:43

open your open your file manager

3:48

and go to i believe it's actually under

3:50

pictures yes

3:52

they put under pictures might be under

3:53

videos too no

3:55

just under pictures camera roll and

3:58

there you go

4:00

uh this is where you'll find it um

4:03

alternately you could just go down here

4:04

to this lower corner again this is kind

4:06

of like the

4:07

kinda like the android um

4:10

like like the android camera app and

4:13

then you go over to the upper right

4:15

the three dots right there open folder

4:18

and then there you go that'll also take

4:20

you straight here

4:23

so then what you're going to want to do

4:26

to upload this to bike cloud as you hit

4:28

the plus button file video

4:31

uh and then you can just you know you

4:33

can just navigate you know pictures

4:35

camera roll alternately what you could

4:38

also

4:39

do to to navigate to where your file is

4:41

in here

4:42

is uh you know you've got like the uh

4:46

the path to to this folder right here

4:48

just click into this empty space next to

4:50

it

4:52

brings this up copy it go over to

4:56

where we are opening again here i'll

4:58

just start from this from scratch here

5:00

so i've got that saved in my uh in my

5:02

clipboard

5:04

hit the plus hit file video

5:07

select in here paste it there

5:10

and hit enter and then that is going to

5:13

take us straight to our camera roll

5:14

without having to navigate there

5:17

so then we find the video we want hit

5:20

open

5:22

upload

5:36

and let this upload

6:05

then we can give it a name if we so

6:07

choose

6:09

and head over to our content management

6:11

to uh to find it there

6:13

while it is encoding so this is it right

6:15

here

6:16

and while it's encoding we're not going

6:18

to see a thumbnail there but

6:20

that's how you can use the the windows

6:23

default camera app to upload a

6:27

video or record a video and then upload

6:29

it to vip cloud

6:30

let us know if you have any questions
