Record on your phone
Record with your phone's camera in its browser, or scan a code on your computer and send the take straight to your library.
There's no app to install. You can record on your phone in two ways: sign in to Vidler in your phone's browser, or start from your computer and scan a code.
From your computer, with a code
This is handy when your computer's camera isn't good enough, or you want to film something away from your desk. The video saves to your library on the computer.
- In the recorder on your computer, select Record on your phone under the preview.
- Point your phone's camera at the code, then tap the link. Can't scan it? Copy the link shown under Can't scan it? Open this link on your phone and open it on your phone.
- On your phone, tap Turn on camera and allow camera and microphone access.
- Choose Camera, Voice or Backdrop. With more than one camera or microphone, tap Choose camera and microphone. Tap the flip button to switch between the front and back camera.
- Tap the red button to start. A 3-second countdown runs first.
- Tap the red button again to stop. Use the pause button to take a break.
- Under Review your take, add a Title if you like, or leave it empty and Vidler AI names it from what you say. Tap Upload video, or Retake video to try again.
Keep the page open on your phone until the upload finishes. Your computer shows each step and opens the video when it's ready. If you loaded a script on the computer, it scrolls on the phone too; tap the script button to hide or show it.
In your phone's browser
- Open Vidler in Safari or Chrome on your phone and sign in.
- Tap New video, then Record with your camera.
- Choose Cam or Backdrop. Under Video, pick Landscape, Portrait or Square. Portrait and square suit Shorts, Reels and phones.
- Tap Start recording.
Your phone can't record its screen, so Screen + cam and Screen aren't available there. To share your screen, record on a computer.
Upload from your phone
To send a video you already filmed, tap New video → Upload a video and choose it from your camera roll or files.
