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.

Recording and saving a new video

Step 1: To record and save a new video, log into your account and click on the Videos tab.

Step 2: Click "New Video" at the top of your screen. 

Step 3: Click the red circle to begin recording a video of yourself, or click the Screen Record icon on the lower left to begin recording your screen.

Step 4: Once you are done recording, hit the square button. From here, you have a few options. 

• Retitle your video by editing the field under "Video Title."
• Screenshot a new thumbnail by clicking "Thumbnail." (This will override your 3-second animated gif!)
• Re-record your video. 
• Play back your video by clicking the Play icon.
• Add a call-to-action link by toggling on CTA. 

When you are happy with your video, click "Save," and your video will be saved to your video library.  

Step 5: If you are ready, share your video from this screen. 

• To text or share on social media: Click "Copy Link" to paste this url into any social media platform or text message. Or, click the icons for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to share the video directly to one of these platforms.
• To share in an email: Click "Copy Link for Email" and paste into your email body. This will send your video as an animated gif in your email platform. 
• To email from BombBomb's Quick Send: Click "Email with BombBomb Template." This will allow you to customize your email template and email directly through BombBomb. 

Uploading and saving a video 

Step 1: To upload a video, log in to your account and click on the Video tab. 

Step 2: Click "New Video" at the top of your screen. 

Step 3: Click "Upload Video." This will bring a pop-up box where you can select the video you'd like to upload. BombBomb will begin encoding your video. The encoding process makes copies of your video so that it can be available in various different formats (desktop, mobile, text, etc.). Once uploaded, retitle your video, if desired, and click "Save."

File Types and Sizes: Your video files for upload can be up to 2 GB in size. BombBomb accepts mp4, mpg, mov, avi, flv, mpeg, wmv, and m4v files. We recommend mp4 for the best quality. 

Step 4: If you are ready, share your video from this screen.
