Videos let field teams capture continuous visual context from a jobsite and save it directly to a Feldy project. Use video when a single photo does not provide enough context, such as when documenting an entire room, walking around an exterior, showing the extent of damage, recording installation progress, or explaining how multiple areas connect. Videos are stored alongside project photos so the office and field teams can review all visual documentation in one place.

Limited availability: Video capture is currently available to selected organizations. Contact support@feldy.ai to request access. Your organization may be added to the waitlist before the feature is enabled.

Recording limit: Each individual video can be up to 10 minutes long.

Photos tab will be renamed “Capture” on August 15th, 2026.

​

Start recording a video

You can open Feldy’s capture experience from camera buttons located throughout the app. To record a video:

1. Open the project where the video should be saved.
2. Select a camera button.
3. Choose Video from the capture options at the bottom of the screen.
4. Select the record button.
5. Move through the jobsite while recording.
6. Select the stop button when the recording is complete.

The video remains connected to the selected project.

​

Switch between capture modes

The Feldy camera includes three capture modes:

• Photo
• Video
• Walkthrough

Select Video before recording. Changing modes does not remove photos or videos already captured during the session.

​

Record multiple videos

You can record more than one video before leaving the capture screen. After completing a recording:

1. Review the video thumbnail in the capture tray.
2. Select Record another.
3. Record the next area.
4. Repeat as needed.
5. Select Finish when all videos have been captured.

Each recording is saved as a separate video. This is useful when different areas should remain clearly separated, such as:

• Kitchen
• Primary bathroom
• Roof damage
• North elevation
• Basement
• Completed installation
• Customer concern
• Final inspection

Recording separate videos also makes it easier for office users to find the relevant area without reviewing one long recording.

​

Review captured videos

Videos captured during the current session appear in a tray above the capture controls. Each video thumbnail can display:

• A preview image
• A play indicator
• The video duration
• The order in which it was captured

The tray only displays videos while Video mode is selected. Select a thumbnail to review the video before finishing the session.

​

Finish the capture session

When you have finished recording:

1. Confirm that the expected videos appear in the tray.
2. Select Finish.
3. Allow Feldy to upload the recordings.
4. Keep the app open when possible until the upload is complete.

Upload time depends on:

• Video length
• Number of videos
• Connection speed
• Device performance

Videos may take longer to upload than photos.

​

Record multiple videos in one capture session

Feldy supports recording multiple videos within a single capture session. After recording one clip, the user can tap Record another to continue capturing more videos without leaving the camera flow. Each recording is saved as a separate video file rather than being combined into one long video. This makes it easier to capture different rooms, conditions, or work areas in a structured way and review each video independently later. How it works

• Start a video capture session.
• Record a clip.
• Tap Record another to capture the next clip.
• Repeat as needed within the same session.
• When finished, each clip is saved as its own individual video.

Why this is useful

• Separate videos by room, elevation, or work area
• Capture before/after conditions in distinct clips
• Keep videos easier to review, share, and reference
• Avoid creating one long video that is harder to navigate

Result
A single capture session can produce multiple different videos, each stored individually for later use in the project.

​

Find videos in a project

Videos appear inside the project’s Photos section alongside regular project photos. A video thumbnail is identified by:

• A play icon
• A duration marker, such as 00:19 or 04:36
• A preview frame from the recording

Videos remain organized by project and capture date, just like photos. You do not need to open a separate media library to find them.

​

Find videos from the main Photos area

Videos can also appear in the app’s main Photos area. Depending on the view, you can browse visual media by:

• Project
• Date
• User
• Label

Video thumbnails remain distinguishable from photos through the play icon and duration marker.

​

Play a video

To watch a video:

1. Open the project’s Photos section.
2. Select a video thumbnail.
3. Use the playback controls to watch the recording.

The video remains connected to the project where it was captured.

​

Delete a video

Delete a video when it was captured accidentally, is no longer needed, or documents the wrong project. Before deleting, confirm that the video is not required for:

• Customer communication
• Inspection records
• Progress documentation
• Insurance documentation
• Quality control
• Dispute resolution
• Completion evidence

Deleting a video may permanently remove it from the project.

​

Best use cases

Videos are most valuable when movement, sequence, scale, or surrounding context matters.

​

Existing-condition documentation

Record the site before work begins. Common examples include:

• Entire-room conditions
• Exterior elevations

​

Videos compared with AI Job Walkthroughs

Videos and AI Job Walkthroughs serve different purposes.

​

Video

A video is a raw visual recording of the jobsite. Use it when you primarily need to preserve:

• Visual context
• Movement through a space
• Existing conditions
• Installation progress
• Completion evidence

A standard video does not automatically create a structured document.

​

AI Job Walkthrough

An AI Job Walkthrough captures field narration and visual context, then generates an organized project document. Use it when you want Feldy to help structure:

• Work categories
• Scope notes
• Field observations
• Supporting photos
• Requested repairs
• Project documentation

Choose Video for raw visual evidence and Walkthrough when the desired output is an AI-generated document.

​

Use videos in project workflows

Videos can support:

• Estimating
• Scope development
• Field reports
• Milestone updates
• Customer communication
• Quality-control reviews
• Inspection records
• Change orders
• Insurance documentation
• Internal project handoffs
• Installer preparation
• Completion documentation

Videos provide context, but they do not replace verified measurements, written scope, product specifications, or professional review.

​

Best practices

Before recording:

• Confirm that the correct project is selected.
• Clean the camera lens.
• Check available device storage.
• Use a stable internet connection when possible.
• Decide whether the area should be one video or several shorter recordings.

While recording:

• Move slowly.
• Keep the camera steady.
• Avoid rapid turns.
• Hold briefly on important conditions.
• Move closer when detail matters.
• Capture the wider area before recording close-ups.
• Avoid covering the microphone.
• Keep each video focused on one area or purpose.
• Record another video when moving to a different location.
• Stay within the 10-minute limit.

After recording:

• Confirm that the video appears in the tray.
• Review the duration.
• Remove accidental recordings before finishing.
• Select Record another when more areas need documentation.
• Wait for uploads to complete.
• Confirm that the videos appear in the project’s Photos section.
