How to upload video from a mobile device
WrestlingIQ does not dictate how you record or upload matches, although we do offer an iOS app to record and take stats at the same time. Whether you have handheld cameras, use a tablet, or record with a phone, the steps are similar to get them uploaded to WrestlingIQ. This article will review uploading video that is on a mobile device, such as a phone or tablet (here is an article on how to upload video from a computer)
1. Record the match with your device
The first step, if you aren't using our iOS app, is to simply record the matches using whatever device you own. WrestlingIQ currently only supports 1 video file per match - it's recommended that you either keep the video rolling for stoppage, or edit the video first before uploading if you need to stitch them together.
2. Upload from the device once back on WiFi (if using phone or tablet)
Once you are back to a stable WiFi connection, sign into your WrestlingIQ account via mobile browser on the device that you recorded the match. Go to the video manager page and select the option to upload videos. Select the intended video and upload it into WrestlingIQ.
Tagging a match
Now that your videos are uploading, or uploaded, the next step is to tag the video with the wrestler, their opponent, and the event the match took place at.
WrestlingIQ uses this info to make these videos easier to find later - by tagging the match to a wrestler, it will now be visible from the profile page of the wrestler. This also helps with searching matches by wrestler, event or opponent in the videos tab.
Tip: Use the 'Prefill Event' or 'Prefill Wrestler' tools at the top of the page to make this process faster if you are uploading matches from the same event or the same wrestler (see below).
Walk away
Once you have tagged all your wrestlers, leave the device on to let it finish uploading the videos. Once uploaded, WrestlingIQ will process your videos so that they will stream well on any device (this usually takes 15-20 min) and then automatically email wrestlers that their match is ready for them to view under their profile.
