How do I create a capture?

This article explains how you can create captures in the Udo app. 

This article will teach you how to create four different kinds of captures:

• Dual video camera: A video using the front and back cameras simultaneously.
• Video camera: A video using a single camera.
• Photo: A photo using a single camera.
• Text: A text message through typing or speaking.

To begin, tap the Capture button from the Hub. Tap one of the four available capture options.

Recording a dual video camera capture (only available for iPhone models XR or later) 

1. Tap the dual video option. The dual video uses both your front- and back-facing cameras in a split-screen view. 
2. Tap the Switch icon to swap the split-screen camera view. 
3. When you’re ready, tap the Capture button to start recording; tap the Capture button to end recording.
4. If you want to re-record your video, tap the red X; if you're happy with your video, tap the green check.
5. Enter a capture title and optional notes, for future reference, if desired.
6. Tap Upload. Note: Be sure to keep the app open while the video is uploading.

• • If your capture is attached, it will be uploaded to the patient case.
