How to use Swivl
1. The first thing you will need to do is set up a “Swivl Cloud” account online. This is how you will be able to send your videos you create on the ipad, in the swivl app, to yourself for saving, editing and sharing.
2. Go to http://cloud.swivl.com/login to create an account. You can also create your account right from the Swivl app’s sign-in page.
Set up:
1. Make sure Swivl and marker are fully charged.
2. Attach Swivl to tripod or set on a sturdy secure surface
3. Remove marker from Swivl base and slide into lanyard to be worn around your neck.
4. Place ipad into Swivl base. You can have it facing either direction, but know that the rear facing camera will give you better picture quality.
5. Plug the audio cord into the base and into the ipad.
-OR-
6. Turn the power button on the Swivl base on. You will need to press the button for a few seconds until the green light comes on. The base will move a bit to signal that it is on.
7. Open the Swivl app on your ipad.
8. You will need to sign in to save your videos. Tap on the ‘x’ in the upper left corner.
9. Tap on ‘Log in’ to get yourself logged in. If you want to set up your account from here, tap on ‘Find out more about Swivl Cloud service.’ this will take you to the webpage to sign up.
10. Once you are signed in you will be brought to your main page. It will have some tutorial videos and any videos you have created.
11. Now you are ready to make a video. Tap on the green ‘capture’ bar on the left.
12. This will bring you back to the start-up page. Tap ‘Capture Video’
13. Turn your marker on-the light on the side should be green. Walk around a bit to make sure Swivl is following you. You can record by pressing the circle on the right of your ipad screen or the record button on the side of your marker by the power button.
14. When you are finished recording, simply push either record button again! Voila you made a video!!
Record
Power
Saving your video:
1. Once you have finished recording, tap on the 3 lines on the upper left corner of your screen.
2. This will bring you back to your home screen and you should see your video here. To save your video to your cloud simply tap the the cloud with the arrow that is to the right of your video.
3. To send to your cloud tap ‘Swivl Cloud.’ From this pop up menu you can also preview your video, save it to the photo gallery on the ipad or delete the video.
4. An upload window will appear while your video is sent to the ‘cloud.’ This window will disappear once the upload has completed and you will be taken back to your main page. There should now be a red garbage can next to the cloud icon by the video. You can delete videos from here without deleting them from your cloud once they have been uploaded!
5. You will now need to go to your ‘Swivl Cloud’ through the website http://cloud.swivl.com/login Once you have logged in you should see your home page with your “library” of videos.
**Note** This screen-shot was taken from the ipad, it may look a tad different when you go in through your computer.
6. Tap or mouse over/click directly onto your video
7. On this page you can watch the video. If you want you can “quick share” it as well. This will allow you to just send the video as it named to whomever you would like. Or you can click on “advanced” to change the name and add a description (next slide).
8. The advanced menu will pop up.
9. Once you have saved any changes you are ready to share! To share tap/click on the “Quick Share” button.
From the “Shared” Menu on you main Swivl page, you can click on an video you have shared to get some feed back on the video.
The “My Feed” menu on your main page will show you any videos people have shared with you and also has some different Demo/How-To videos on using Swivl

You can also upload your video from the ipad directly to YouTube. If you are interested in this we can help as needed.
Inside the Swivl’s case you will find a quick reference guide.
Make sure to sign out of the Swivl App and Google on the ipad air before you return it so that others do not have access to your videos.
