Record a Video

Explains how to record a video within the tool. To ensure the best experience possible, please review our Basic System Requirements and Check your System before starting your assignment.

Within the Individual Assignment and Group Assignment, you can add a video within the assignment space. We recommend recording within Bongo as shown here to get the most out of the tool, but you can also upload a video if necessary. The maximum length for a recorded or uploaded video is 120 minutes, and the maximum file size is 20GB. 

You will be given the option to record your Camera only, your Screen only, or your Camera + Screen at the same time. Additionally, if a video is not required for your submission, you can choose Record using only your microphone for audio only recordings. If Auto Anlysis is Active, we will provide information on your delivery once your video has processed. 

Desktop Share

If you selected one of the Screen options, you will be prompted to share Your Entire Screen or an Application Window. Click here for more detailed information about how to record your webcam and desktop on a single screen.

Select your preferred option and Share.
