Transferring videos to your phone
This guide walks you through how to transfer your Lumen5 videos from your computer to your phone so you can post your videos on the go! There are a number of quick and easy ways to do this. Here are a few options for you to consider:
On all operating systems and devices, you can upload the video to Dropbox or Google Drive, then open the Dropbox or Google Drive on your phone and save it to your photos. You can use WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Slack, or another messaging app of your choice to send the video to yourself so you can save it on your phone. Alternatively, you can email the video to yourself (if it's not too big!) and save it from there.
