Overview

Video Cards in Zoho Notebook allow you to capture, store and revisit video content directly within your notebooks. Whether you're recording a quick idea, saving a presentation, documenting a process, or storing important video references, Video Cards provide a dedicated space for managing video content alongside your notes.

Video Cards help bring visual information into your note-taking workflow, making it easier to document events, create tutorials, save memories, and collaborate with others.

Key Features of Video Cards

Create Video Cards by recording videos directly from your device's camera.

This is useful for:

• Capturing ideas on the go
• Recording meetings or discussions
• Creating personal video journals
• Documenting field observations
• Recording tutorials and demonstrations

Once recorded, the video is automatically saved as a Video Card within your notebook.

You can also create a Video Card by uploading videos already stored on your device.

Supported use cases include:

• Training videos
• Event recordings
• Project documentation
• Educational content
• Reference materials

Uploaded videos remain accessible from any synced device.

With Notebook AI enabled, spoken content in videos can be converted into searchable text transcripts.

Benefits include:

• Easier content review
• Better accessibility
• Faster information retrieval
• Searchable meeting notes
• Simplified documentation

Video Cards include a built-in player that allows you to:

• Play videos directly within Notebook
• Pause and resume playback
• Seek to different parts of the video
• Watch content without leaving the app

This eliminates the need to download videos each time you want to view them.

For longer videos, you can create Chapter Markers to divide content into meaningful sections.

Benefits include:

• Quickly navigating to specific topics
• Organizing lengthy recordings
• Improving accessibility of training materials
• Simplifying review of meeting recordings
  

Examples of chapter markers:

• Introduction
• Project Updates
• Requirements Discussion
• Action Items
• Questions and Answers
  

Viewers can jump directly to any chapter without manually searching through the recording.

Video Cards support Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, allowing you to continue watching a video while navigating through other notes and notebooks within Zoho Notebook.

With PiP mode, the video appears in a small floating window, enabling you to:

• Continue watching videos while taking notes. 
• Refer to video content while creating or editing notecards. 
• Multitask without interrupting video playback. 
• Review tutorials, lectures, or meeting recordings alongside your notes. 
  

This feature is particularly useful when:

• Taking notes from recorded meetings. 
• Following instructional videos. 
• Reviewing training materials. 
• Watching presentations while documenting key points. 

The floating video window can be repositioned on the screen for a more convenient viewing experience while you continue working in Notebook.

Video Cards can be shared through Notebook's collaboration features.

Depending on your sharing permissions, collaborators can:

• View videos
• Access chapter markers
• Review transcripts
• Collaborate within shared notebooks

This makes Video Cards useful for team collaboration and knowledge sharing.
