To send a video message in Papalocal, tap Messages, then Video at the top. Tap someone you've pinned, or a conversation under Recent, and record. They watch it when they're ready, and can record one back. To start a new one, tap the pencil and search for anyone, or send a link to someone not on Papalocal yet.
Step by step
0:00Open Video. Tap Messages, then Video at the top. This is where your video messages live.
0:07Record one. Record a video for someone, and they watch it when they're ready. They can record one back the same way.
0:13Tap someone you pinned. The people and groups you pin sit at the top. Tap one to record a video for them.
0:18Check Recent. Under Recent are your newest video conversations. A dot marks any you haven't watched yet.
0:24Use it with a group. Groups get video too, like the team in the video. Everyone in the group can watch, and record a reply.
0:31Watch one live. A red LIVE tag means they're recording right now. Open it to start watching before they finish.
0:37Start a new one. Tap the pencil, and New Video Message opens.
0:41Pick who it's for. Search for anyone. Not on Papalocal yet? Use Invite someone to chat to send them a link, and your message will be waiting.
0:48Go back to your chats. Tap Messages at the top.
