Managing videos
Article Content
As a manager, you can upload videos to share training content, safety briefings, and updates with your team. This guide covers uploading, editing, and organising your video library.
The upload button is only available to managers and admins. Staff members cannot upload videos.

Videos can be up to 1 hour in length. If a video is stored in iCloud but not downloaded locally, you will see a "Video Not Available" alert asking you to download it to your device first.
You can remove the selected video by tapping the X icon next to the file details.
