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.

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.
