If you’re not happy with a video you’ve submitted for a speech assignment, you can remove it from your recordings by moving it to the Archive folder. Videos you move to the Archive folder are visible only to you.

Keep in mind that you can’t archive or delete a video if your instructor has already graded the assignment or given you feedback.

Archive a video

From the main view of the Soomo video recorder, click the three dots on the right side of the video you’d like to archive and select Archive.

The Archive folder in the Soomo video recorder showing the three dots menu on a video thumbnail. In the drop-down menu, the Archive option is highlighted.

In the pop-up that appears, click Archive again to confirm or Cancel to go back.

Videos in the Archive folder will automatically be deleted after 60 days.

If you’d like to restore a video that you’ve archived, select Archive in the menu on the left side of the Soomo video recorder. (Note: On smaller screens, you may need to click the three horizontal lines in the upper left of the video recorder to view the menu.)
