Using Your Phone Camera App to Capture a Video and Upload It to On3 Content Connect

This guide explains how to record a short training video using your phone (or any camera), upload it into On3 Content Connect on a desktop, and complete the most important checks to ensure accurate learning content is generated.

You do not need technical experience to follow these steps.

Step 1: Record the Video in the Field

When recording in the field, focus on clarity over perfection.

Recording Guidelines

Hold your phone sideways (landscape mode)
Use an external microphone if possible (wireless preferred)
- Phone microphones alone are typically not ideal
Speak clearly and keep explanations simple
Use a small number of clear talking points
Show exactly what you are explaining

Photos (Recommended)

Capture clear photos of specific parts, items, or areas you reference
These images can be:
- Edited into the video, or
- Added later to the module’s Primers to support visual learning

Step 2: Get the Files onto Your Computer

Before uploading:

Transfer only the clean, usable video clips and photos from your phone
Save them into a clearly named folder on your computer
Make sure you know exactly where the files are located

This makes uploading into Content Connect faster and easier.

Step 3: Upload the Video to On3 Content Connect

Open a browser and go to app.on3.ai
From the Home Page, click Create Course
When prompted:
- Select your Workspace (company or division)
- Choose Module
  - This is almost always the correct option
If asked to select a Program and you are unsure:
- Continue without selecting one
Upload one video only
- Additional videos can be added after the module is generated
Enter a Module Title or use the file name
Click Confirm
Click Generate Module

Step 4: Find Your Module Inside Content Connect

From the left navigation bar, click Modules
Open the module you just created

Step 5: If You Recorded Multiple Video Clips

If you recorded multiple videos and want them combined into one module:

Inside the module, click Add Content
- Upload the additional video clips
Go to Key Points
- Add each video clip
- Drag and drop clips into the correct order you want the video to be combined
Go to Module Details
- Remove the original single video
- Click Join Videos
- Select all videos you want combined

Step 6: Check the Transcript (Most Important Step)

⚠ This is the most critical step in the entire process.

Expand the Contents section
Locate your joined video
Find the Transcript directly below the video
- The transcript includes all combined audio from the joined videos
Read the transcript carefully from start to finish

Everything On3 generates—learning content, coaching, and questions—is based on this transcript.

What to Do

Fix any mistakes
Correct wording
Ensure it says exactly what you meant

If You Make Changes To The Transcript (Extremely Important)

Open the AI Assistant (top navigation bar)
Select Regenerate Module

This rebuilds the learning content using all joined videos.

Regenerating the module is a critical step.

Step 7: Review the Learning Content (Quick Check)

Open Primers
Click through each primer
Use Preview (top navigation bar) to see the learner view

Confirm

The content matches what you taught
Nothing important is missing
Images support learning
Content fits properly in the preview screen

If something is missing or unclear:

Edit it directly, or
Use the AI Assistant to improve or expand the content

Step 8: Final Approval

If you have approval permissions:
- Click Approve Module (top navigation bar)
If not:
- Notify your supervisor that the module is ready

Once approved, the module moves to Beta Review in the On3 Learn app before being released to learners.

Key Takeaways for Field Users

Record video in landscape
Ensure clear video and audio
Take close-up photos to support learning
Upload one video first, add others later if needed
Always review and correct the transcript
Regenerate the module after any major change
