Supported Android and iOS versions
You will need an iOS or Android device to install the Record app. The device will need to be running either:
- iOS 15 or newer
- Android 7 or newer
Not Supported
- Amazon Fire
- Chrome OS (Chromebooks)
Device Specification
We would recommend that the recording device you use meets the below specifications as a minimum.
- RAM (Memory): 2GB
- Storage: 8GB
- Processor: Dual-core 2GHz
Please do a test recording as you intend to use the device (e.g. with Bluetooth mic paired if planning to use one) to ensure audio and video are recorded ok prior to capturing a recording.
Android Devices
Due to the vast number of manufacturers, models and software versions, we aren't able to test all combinations. The above is a rough guide to finding a suitable device. Please get in contact with our support desk if you have any questions or problems.
Internet Connection Requirements
We recommend a minimum of 4-5MBPS upload speed. This is based upon a 'medium' resolution being used. Users are able to increase the recording quality but are notified that this isn't recommended on slower connections.
The Record app will create a file of about 600MB-1GB for a 1-hour lesson, which will upload in around 30 minutes at the above speed.
Network/Wireless Requirements
Connection
You will need a wireless/mobile network connection to:
1) Install the Record app
2) Authenticate your login details when logging in (first time only, afterwards you can log in offline)
3) Uploading recordings
4) Updating the app
5) Accessing the web platform to review your recordings
Filtering
You may need to allow some of our URLs through your internet filtering if we find they are being blocked. See URL list here.
Storage Requirements
The Record app will create a file of about 600MB for a 1-hour lesson, Once the upload has been completed the app will automatically delete the file. You will need at least triple the expected file size in free space on your device to enable the device to make an encrypted copy of the file which is then used to securely upload to your account.
