How do I send a picture or video message?

Sending a picture message works just like sending a regular text message with Sideline.

If you want to send a photo from within a conversation you're already having with a contact, simply tap the camera icon next to the text box.

Here you can choose to take a photo, choose one from your camera roll, or send emojis.

To send a picture or video from within an ongoing conversation:

1. Tap the camera icon next to the textbox
2. The Camera icon next to the text box will open your photo preferences - take a photo, choose from your camera roll, or send emojis

To send a picture or video in a new conversation: 

1. Tap on the New Message icon along the toolbar from the inbox
2. Type in and select the contact you would like to send a message to
3. The Camera icon next to the text box will open your photo preferences - take a photo, choose from your camera roll, or send emojis

Note: Make sure you have allowed Sideline access to your photos

Video Messages

Sending a video is very similar to sending a picture. Instead of tapping Take Picture, tap Take video.

Once you've taken your video, an HD version will be sent along with the video for higher quality

Please Note: Unfortunately, there is a 100 second limit to the videos you can send. If you attempt to send a video that is longer than 100 seconds, it will not deliver successfully

If you're in Canada: We do not support any MMS to Canadian numbers at this time.
