Video recording: tips and tricks

Get started with your smartphone/tablet

With your smartphone, you can quickly and easily record a video. Read our easy tips for creating an awesome video, along with your creative inspiration.

  • hold your phone in landscape mode
  • avoid background noise
  • record with highest possible resolution (4K, HD, ....)
  • do not use the front-facing camera (used for selfies) 
    the camera on the back of your phone usually yields better quality
  • keep your phone still, if possible
    use something/anything for support
    have somebody help you when you want to film yourself
  • avoid backlight when filming something
    the person in the video should not stand with his/her back to the window
  • pay attention when you transfer your video(s) from your smartphone/tablet
    file transfer services (WeTransfer...) may compress images which may result in lesser quality;
    you can use a cable or upload video(s) to MS Stream (no compression, Stream is included in your Office 365 pack)
