You're often on the go, and so are many of your connections. People may not be checking email throughout the day, but did you know that you can text videos too?
With BombBomb, you can send your videos through text messages straight from the mobile app! You can text a video you've just recorded, or you can even send a pre-recorded video from your video library.
Watch this video to learn how, or read the step-by-step instructions below.
Here's are the step-by-step instructions:
Texting a pre-existing video
Step 1: Open the mobile app on your phone. Select the Video Library icon at the bottom of the screen.
Step 2: Select the video that you want to send through text message.
Step 3: Click the orange “Text” button on the left side of the screen just below the video.
Step 4: This will take you to your phone's default texting app. Add the person you want to send the video to and type a quick message to encourage them to watch your video! Depending on the system, it will either paste a link or an animated preview of your video.
Quick Tip: If you choose multiple recipients at once, they will be placed into a group text where all recipients can reply and see each others' responses.
Texting a new video
Step 1: To text a brand new video, open the app and select the red record button at the bottom of your screen.
Quick Tip: Videos look best in landscape orientation, so rotate your camera before you hit that record button!
Step 2: Tap the red button to start and stop recording. If you'd like, you can also flip your camera by selecting the camera icon on the bottom right of your screen when you are recording in landscape/horizontal orientation.
Step 3: Once you're done recording, you will be taken to the video delivery screen. You can make any edits by clicking the "Edit" button in the top right. Once you're ready to send then click the "Text" button just below your video preview.
Step 4: This will take you to your phone's default texting app. Add the person you want to send the video to and type a quick message to encourage them to watch your video! Depending on the system, it will either paste a link or an animated preview of your video.
Quick Tip: If you choose multiple recipients at once, they will be placed into a group text where all recipients can reply and see each others' responses.

How do you insert a contact list from your contacts in BomBomb using the mobile app?
Hi Anthony!
Thank you for reaching out and for your question. At this time there is not a way to upload a contact list from the Mobile App. There would definitely be a great feature, and I will pass along your feedback to our product and development team.
If you need anything else please feel free to write us at support@bombbomb.com.
Thank you!
Can we mass text a video to all my customers cell phones on the desktop platform?
Hi Jacob!
Thank you for your question. At this time, we do not have a way to mass text from our desktop application, but we do offer you the video URLs through the Videos tab, as well as our Mobile App, to be able to send texts through other texting or phone software programs.
Please let us know if you have further questions and we are happy to help! We can be best reached by emailing support@bombbomb.com.
