Recording, uploading and saving videos to your video library

Recording or uploading videos to your video library is the easiest and most common way to catalog your videos so they're readily accessible to you on any platform. By recording or uploading videos in your Videos tab, your videos will populate your library on any device and can be embedded, shared, emailed, and texted.
