Your video intro
Recording one in the app, what review checks, and what happens when you record another.
1 min read
A sixty-second landscape video that sits at the top of your profile. Optional, and it raises your profile score.
Recorded here, not uploaded
There is no upload path, by decision. You record it in the app, with your webcam or your phone camera, so what a client watches is a person speaking to camera now rather than a file of unknown origin.
Recording
A countdown of three, then "Go", then it starts. There is a deliberate beat between the last sound and the first frame, so the countdown's own tones cannot end up inside your recording.
A level meter shows your microphone is picking you up: because the one failure worth preventing is a perfect sixty seconds into a muted microphone, discovered at review.
Prompts cycle beside the picture if you want something to talk about. Sixty seconds is a hard stop.
Choosing the still
After recording you pick the frame that becomes the thumbnail. Two are produced: a sharp one, and a blurred one made in your own browser.
The blurred one is what a signed-out visitor sees, and it is genuinely blurred rather than a sharp frame with styling over it, so there is nothing recoverable in the public file.
Review
Somebody looks at it before it goes on your profile. Approved, rejected, or approved after you fix something.
