Record a video using the Microsoft Stream (Classic) mobile app
When you record a video using the Microsoft Stream (Classic) mobile app on either your iPhone or Android phone, there are many artful as well as standard recording-related features—including annotations—that you can use. The best part? Most of these features are available before and during recording.
Sometimes, in the same recording, you need to switch from recording with a self-view camera
to a world-view one. And even if you don't think you have nimble editing fingers, we make it easy for you to record multiple clips, string them together, and rearrange them into new compositions.
