How do I upload a pre-recorded video?

In some situations, you may need or want to submit a video that has been previously recorded. This can be useful if you want to do multiple takes and have a chance to review them all before deciding which you like best and submitting it, or if you're the Group Video organizer and someone has sent you their Video Clip directly, via email, or text, instead of directly to the Group Video.

Quick How-To:

Use the device that has the video file stored on it.
Visit the Record & Upload Page of the Group Video using the Record & Upload Link.
When presented with the option to either record or select/upload a video, choose to upload/select a video file from your device.

Step-by-Step:

Uploading from a Phone

Memento App (iOS only):

Download the Memento App from iTunes!

Click on the Record & Upload Link; this will prompt your phone to open the link using the Memento App.
The app will automatically take you to the Record & Upload page, where you can either Join the Video immediately or set a Reminder for later.
Once you're ready to record, select Join the Video - you'll be prompted to either Record, Upload from Photo Library, or Choose File.
Select either Upload from Photo Library or Choose File, depending on where your video is stored on your device.
Select the video file that you'd like to upload.
Wait for the file to upload entirely before exiting the app.

Mobile Browser (Android or iOS):

Use the phone that has the saved video file.
Visit the Record & Upload Page on your mobile device and scroll down to the Join The Group Video! section.

The video submission process appears differently depending on the phone's operating system (OS). The screenshots shown below are representative but may appear slightly different when viewed on a different iOS or Android version and/or screen size.
