Video Recording and Playback Help

Supported Video Formats

Our application supports the following video formats:

• WebM - Preferred format for most modern browsers
• MP4 - Widely supported format for video playback

The application will automatically detect which formats your browser supports and use the best available option.

Recording Videos

To record a video for your note:

1. Click the "Start Recording" button in the video section
2. Grant permission for the application to access your camera and microphone when prompted
3. Record your video (maximum 20 seconds)
4. Click "Stop Recording" when finished or wait for the automatic stop after 20 seconds
5. Review your recording in the preview
6. If you're not satisfied, click "Retake Video" to record again

Video Size Limitations

While there is no strict limit on video file size, we recommend keeping videos under 10MB for optimal performance. Videos larger than 10MB may:

• Take longer to upload
• Experience playback issues on slower connections
• Potentially exceed server limits

The application will warn you if your recorded video exceeds 10MB.
