To record a lecture effectively as an audio or video file, follow these guidelines:
- Video Recording: If recording a video, follow the outlined steps for efficient uploads. Uploading a video automatically generates an MP3 audio file.
- Bandwidth Considerations: Faster upload speeds improve efficiency; use a strong internet connection when possible.
- Recording Settings: Record at 720p resolution with 30 fps to balance quality and file size. Apple users should record in landscape mode with the home button on the left for correct orientation.
- Video Compression: If reducing resolution isn't an option, compress the video to speed up uploads and save storage space.
- Smaller File Sizes: Optimize video size to improve viewing, downloading, and reduce storage costs.
Ensure these guidelines are shared with the person responsible for recording and uploading.
