Method 1: Using the Camera Application:
- Launch your device’s camera application and set it to Video. This will vary from device to device:
iOS:
Note: You can record your screen instead by adding the Screen Recording to you Control Center. Read Apple’s instructional here.
Android:
- Press the red Record Button
to begin recording your video. - Once recorded, open the KMS Go application and tap the Upload button (
for iOS and 
for Android). - Next, tap Gallery.
- Locate your video recording and tap it to add. Enter in a title for the video and tap Done to go to the next step.
- Tap UPLOAD in the top right corner to begin the upload process.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your mobile device is connect to a stable internet connection for the entirety of the upload process! Any interruptions may cause the video to corrupt and not upload correctly.
- An “uploaded successfully” pop-up will appear when when the video has been successfully uploaded.
It may ask if you wish to Publish now: this isn’t necessary to use for your course submissions, but you are free to select either “Yes” to publish to allow *anyone* to search and view the video (not recommended), or “No” to keep it private (recommended).
Once you have your video recorded and uploaded, you can submit your videos to your course assessments.
Method 2: Using KMS Go to Launch the Camera:
This method isn’t recommended for long recordings or for sessions that cannot be redone. Make sure to only use this method for short videos or for sessions that can be re-recorded, and follow the instructions carefully and EXACTLY to avoid losing the video!
- Open the KMS Go application and tap the Upload button ( for iOS and for Android) and then tap Camera.
- This will launch your device’s camera application. To record, set the option to Video. This will vary from device to device, and may only have “Photo” and “Video” available:
iOS:
Android
- Press the red Record Button to begin recording your video.
- Once recorded, enter a title for your video and tap Done to enter the next step. DO NOT UPLOAD yet!
- Tap the I will upload later option found below the title you entered. This will ensure the video that was just recorded is saved to your camera roll.
NOTE: If you do not tap I will upload later first and instead tap Upload, your video will instead begin the uploading process without saving to your device. If something goes wrong or your internet connection is interrupted in any way, your recording will be lost. - Once recorded, tap the Upload button ( for iOS and for Android) and then tap Gallery.
- Locate your video recording and tap it to add. Enter in a title for the video if prompted again and tap Done to enter the next step.
- Tap UPLOAD to begin the upload process.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your mobile device is connected to a stable connection for the entirety of the upload process. Any interruptions may cause the video to corrupt and not upload correctly.
If you followed the steps exactly up to this point and something does go wrong, your video will still be saved to your camera roll to try again. - An “uploaded successfully” pop-up should appear when complete.
It may ask if you wish to Publish now: this isn’t necessary to use for your course submissions, but you are free to select either “Yes” to publish and allow *anyone* to search and view the video (not recommended), or “No” to keep it private (recommended).
Once you have your video recorded and uploaded, you can submit your videos to your course assessments!
