Recording Video in CompanyCam

Learn how to record video directly in the CompanyCam app to document your work on the jobsite.

Video gives you another way to capture what's happening on a job, alongside your photos. Record a walkthrough, show a problem in motion, or document work you can't fully capture in a still shot.

This feature is available on select plans and is only available on the mobile app.


  1. Open the Camera View like you would to take a photo.

  2. Select the Project you want to add the video to.

  3. Tap Video at the bottom of the screen.

  4. Allow CompanyCam to use your device's microphone if this is your first time recording video.

  5. Press the Record Button in the middle of the screen to start capturing.

  6. Tap the Take Photo Button to take a photo without stopping the video. It's the white circle with a camera on it, to the right of the Record Button. The screen flickers to show the photo was taken.
    ​

  7. Switch between photos and video as needed while you shoot.

  8. Tap Done once you're finished.


FAQs

What video resolution does CompanyCam support?

CompanyCam supports 4K resolution video on all plans.

What happens if my video exceeds the upload limits?

If your video exceeds the specified duration or file size for your plan, the upload will fail. Consider compressing the video or trimming its length to meet time requirements. Additionally, the maximum file size is 2 GB for the Core/Pro plan and 4 GB for the Crew/Premium and Scale/Elite plans.

Is there a maximum video length in CompanyCam?

Depending on your plan, you can record videos up to 5 minutes or 10 minutes long.

Can I take a photo while recording video?

Photos can be taken while you record. Tap the Take Photo Button to the right of the Record Button. The video keeps recording.

Why don't I see the Take Photo Button?

The Take Photo Button only shows while a regular video is recording. It requires app version 10.0.66 or later, and it does not appear in Dual Video.

Are photos taken during a video lower quality?

Photos taken during a video are lower quality than normal photos. Each one is a still taken from the video. For full quality, stop recording and take the photo in photo mode.

When do photos taken during a video show up?

Photos taken during a video show up in your session bar once you stop recording. They save to the Project like any other photo.
