Step 2: Choose how you want to add your video.

  • If you want to add a video that is already on your device, select Browse. The maximum file size Is 30mb.

  • If you want to record a live video with your device, select Record Video. The video can be up to 5 minutes long. Note: Direct video recording is not compatible with Safari.

If choosing to record a live video, follow steps 3-6. If you are adding a video that is already on your device, skip these steps, and locate your video file on your device.

Step 3: Select the camera icon.

Step 4: Select the record button.

Step 5: When you are done recording, select the stop button.

Step 6: Add a name to your video recording, then select Save.

❗ Are you using an iPad? iPads do not support recording video directly into Otus. You can upload a video file, but you won't be able to record directly into Otus.
