FAQs

Why do my videos take so long to load?
If you are having trouble uploading your videos, we recommend uploading them first to a Youtube channel and then pasting the links into your padlet. For more information on posting images/videos to a padlet, please see here.
Why can't I record audio or video on my phone?
Mobile browsers may not support audio, video, or screen recording. Download the padlet app to use these features on your phone.
