Add videos to notes and understand recording, playback and sharing.

Videos add motion and sound to an entry. Media features require Lognote Pro. You can keep a video with text and revisit it in its chronological context.

## Record a video

1. Open the destination group and open Camera from the composer or attachment menu.

1. Switch the camera to Video. Allow camera and microphone access when prompted.

1. Start and stop recording, review the result and add it to your note.

The integrated camera workflow is for iPhone and iPad. On Mac, add an existing video file as an attachment; this guide does not describe recording through an integrated Mac camera.

## Add an existing video and play it

Use the media picker or add a video through Files. Open the saved video attachment to play it. The available player or file view depends on the device and file format.

## Sync and share

Files over 50 MB stay local and are not uploaded through Cloud Sync. In a shared group, check that uploads and downloads have completed. A visible thumbnail alone does not confirm that the whole file has arrived.

Check recordings for private people, conversations and other content before sharing. Keep an additional copy of important originals outside the app.
