Using Video Stream from the mobile client

Video Stream supports uploading and viewing videos from the iPhone with the Aurea Social Mobile Client for iPhone.

Browsing videos from the iPhone

Once you have installed the Aurea Social iPhone client on your iPhone and have it configured to access your Aurea Social implementation (see Aurea Social for iPhone section in this guide for details), you’re are ready to browse videos. You can browse videos from your Newsfeed or from the communities that you are following.

The example below shows a video from the Video Center community. Touching the thumbnail brings you to the next screen (where you can comment) and touching on the thumbnail again invokes the player.
