How do I take photos and videos during a lesson?
Updated
You can take photos and videos during a lesson from the lesson card on your iPhone lock screen. The Coach App adds them to the progress report for that lesson.
Open the Camera
The camera button shows on the lesson card while the lesson is live. It does not show before or after the lesson.
- On the lesson card, tap Photo or video or Take a photo or video. On some phones, the button reads Camera.
- The Coach App opens to the camera. This also works when the app is closed.
To contact support from the lesson card, tap the round ? button.
Turn On the Camera
The first time, the app tells you why it needs the camera.
- Tap Turn on camera.
- Allow access when your iPhone asks.
If you declined camera access before, tap Open Settings. Then turn on the camera for the Coach App.
Take Photos and Videos
- Tap Photo or Video to choose a mode.
- Tap the flip button to switch between the front and back cameras.
- The screen shows how many items you saved, for example "2 saved for Maya's report".
The first time you tap Video, the app asks for your microphone. If you decline, your videos record without sound. The screen tells you this. To record sound, tap Turn on in Settings. Then turn on the microphone for the Coach App.
Find Them in the Progress Report
Your photos and videos stay on your phone until you open the progress report for that lesson. Then the app adds them to the report.
A note on Lesson summary tells you how many photos and videos from the lesson are already there. The same note shows on the step where you edit photos and videos.
- A report holds up to 10 photos or videos.
- Remove any photo or video that you do not want before you send the report.
- If an upload fails, the item stays on your phone. The app tries again the next time you open the report.
Good to Know
- The lesson card is on iPhone only.
- Open the progress report within 30 days. The app deletes photos and videos older than 30 days from your phone.
- These photos and videos go to the progress report, not to your chat. To send a voiceover on a clip, see How do I send a video analysis?
