Record and Upload Videos in the Administrator App

Capture videos with Cloud Cam, upload them and share them when ready.

Use Cloud Cam in the Administrator App to record and upload videos, then share them through News, Notifications or connected channels when ready.

Before you start: if Videos is unavailable, complete the school’s Vimeo integration. Follow your school’s media-permission and device-use rules.

1. Open the video library

  1. Open the Administrator’s App.
  2. On iPhone, tap Cloud Cam in the bottom menu. On Android, open the three-line side menu and select Cloud Cam.
  3. Tap Videos at the top.

Use the three-dot menu to create a folder if needed, for example by event, year group or academic year. Open the folder before recording if you want the video saved there.

2. Record and review

  1. Tap the video / camera icon.
  2. Tap the circle to start recording and tap again to stop.
  3. Record additional clips if needed.
  4. Tap the check icon to review them.
  5. Tap a clip to preview it. Long-press to select a clip, then use the bin only if it should be removed.

3. Upload the selected videos

  1. Long-press to select the clips you want to upload.
  2. Tap the cloud / upload icon.
  3. Wait for the upload to complete, then check that the videos appear in the library.

Large videos or a slow connection may take several minutes. Do not assume a clip is uploaded until the upload has finished.

Uploading is not the same as publishing. The Cloud Cam video library is for internal staff use according to access permissions. Sharing through News, Notifications or social media is a separate step with a wider audience.

Optional: upload an existing video

  1. Open Cloud Cam → Videos.
  2. Tap the video icon, then the Gallery icon.
  3. Select the existing video from your device.
  4. Tap Done and complete any upload step shown.
  5. Check the video is available in the library.

Use this for approved existing or edited videos when needed. Uploading does not itself remove the original file from the device. Only use media the school has permission to use and share.

Share when ready

Check the content, student permissions and intended destinations before publishing. See Creating News in the Administrator’s App or Uploading Videos & Sharing on the Dashboard.
