Adding video in Bippit Boards

July 17, 2024

Videos are added/removed/watched using the Blippit Boards app (min. app vers required: 2.3.2 ) or the web app at web.blippit.app via Google Chrome . Videos can be watched in the Blippit Dashboard (log in) as well as the app.

ESSENTIAL TOP TIPS!

  • 1 x photo must be added before you can see and use the add video button
  • 3 x videos can be added per board (1 min each)
  • add video to previous boards via the 3 dot board title menu -> Edit

Video portrait or landscape?

We recommend you record a video with your device rotated in landscape mode. This ensures that the video can be watched at the largest possible size.

How long can a video be and how many are allowed in a board?

Videos can be up to 1 minute long and must be cropped to length before uploading. The app doesn't have a 'video record' button so video must already be recorded.

Up to 3 videos can be added to one board. You can add photos, audio, and up to 3 videos to the same board to bring your example to life. You could record for 3-min and then chop it into 3 for an extended viewing experience or add three different 1-min videos of contrasting approaches/levels of achievement in action.

Can't see your video right away?

Videos are large files that Blippit must process before they are ready to watch. Videos do not show on a board while being processed. Instead, a placeholder image of a clock (shown below) appears after 100% of the video is uploaded. 

When the video is fully processed, a thumbnail image from your video will appear instead of the placeholder shown below.

Playing videos

Once added to a board, tap the play button on a video to play/pause on your device. Tap to go full screen and then rotate your device if needed to make the video fill your screen.

Adding videos to a board you made previously

Tap the 3-dots by the board's title -> tap 'Edit' -> tap 'Add Video' in the bottom toolbar. To delete a video from a board, tap the small icon in the corner of the video thumbnail.
