Activity: Uploading Video Content
Recording Content from Phones/Tablets Check the “settings” area of your device to adjust as desired Choose the “720p” or “1080p” options 720p allows for longer recording time, with good video quality 108p allows for shorter recording time, but excellent video quality 4K creates extremely large video files that can only be appreciated on select large TVs 30 fps is good for most video content Aim to keep video segments under 10 min.
