Record Clips in ClickUp for Clearer Communication

Using ClickUp, you can quickly record Clip screen recordings to share updates, walk through tasks, and communicate asynchronously with your team. This guide explains how to start a recording, manage your Clips, and share them where your team works.

Clip lets you capture your screen, camera, or both, and automatically saves recordings to a dedicated panel so they are easy to review, download, or delete.

What Is Clip in ClickUp?

Clip is the built-in screen recording tool inside ClickUp. It allows you to capture video messages instead of typing long updates, which is ideal for remote and distributed teams.

With Clip, you can:

• Record your entire screen, a specific window, or a browser tab.
• Include your camera feed, your microphone, or both.
• Save videos directly to a Clip panel in ClickUp.
• Share links to recordings or attach them to your work.

Because it is native to the platform, Clip helps centralize context, feedback, and walkthroughs without leaving your workspace.

How to Record a Clip in ClickUp

Follow these steps to create a new Clip recording in ClickUp. The exact entry points can vary depending on your plan and workspace configuration, but the basic flow is the same.

Step 1: Open the Clip recorder in ClickUp

To start a screen recording from within ClickUp, open the Clip recorder. You may access it from a record or Clip icon in your interface, or from a menu where recording options are available.

Once the Clip recorder window or panel appears, you will see options to select what you want to capture.

Step 2: Choose what to record

The Clip recorder in ClickUp typically lets you choose from different capture modes so your video is as focused as possible. Common options include:

• Screen only: Capture your full screen or a specific display.
• Window or tab: Record one app window or a browser tab.
• Screen + camera: Show both your screen and your camera feed.
• Camera only: Capture a talking-head style update.

Select the option that matches your message. For example, choose a screen and camera recording if you want teammates to see your face while you demonstrate a workflow in ClickUp.

Step 3: Configure microphone and camera

Before you start the Clip, ClickUp lets you toggle your microphone and camera on or off. You can usually pick from available input devices if your system has more than one.

Check the following settings:

• Microphone: Turn this on to add narration to your Clip.
• Camera: Turn this on to include a video of yourself.
• Preview: Review how your camera feed looks, if available.

Make sure your browser or operating system has granted ClickUp permission to use your microphone and camera so the Clip can capture audio and video correctly.

Step 4: Start recording your Clip

When your recording options are set, click the button to begin recording in ClickUp. A countdown or indicator may appear so you know when the Clip is live.

While recording, you can:

• Walk through tasks, Docs, or Whiteboards.
• Demonstrate a bug, workflow, or report.
• Explain complex updates that are hard to describe in text.

Speak clearly, move through your content at a reasonable pace, and keep the Clip focused so it is easy for your team to follow.

Step 5: Stop and save your Clip

When you are finished, click the stop button in the Clip controls. ClickUp will process and automatically save the recording.

After saving, your Clip will appear in a dedicated panel where you can view, share, download, or delete the video. The processing time depends on the length of the recording and your connection speed.

Where to Find Your Clip Recordings in ClickUp

Once you have recorded a video, you need to know where it lives. ClickUp stores Clips in a panel so they are easy to access later.

In the Clip panel, you can:

• See a list of recent Clips associated with your workspace.
• Hover over a Clip to access key controls.
• Open a Clip to view playback and additional details.

This central location keeps your recordings organized so you can reuse and reference them across tasks and views in ClickUp.

How to Share Clip Recordings from ClickUp

Sharing Clips helps your team consume updates asynchronously without a live meeting. You can distribute recordings directly from ClickUp using several methods.

Copy and share a Clip link

From the Clip panel or the playback screen, you can copy a link to your recording. Share this link in:

• Task comments and descriptions.
• Docs, chat, or email.
• Other collaboration tools used by your team.

Anyone with the appropriate workspace and permission settings will be able to watch the recording directly through ClickUp.

Attach Clips to tasks in ClickUp

To keep context close to the work, you can attach a Clip to a task. This is especially useful for:

• Bug reports and QA walkthroughs.
• Design and product reviews.
• Handovers and status updates.

Adding Clips to tasks in ClickUp ensures that assignees see the visual explanation right alongside requirements, comments, and other details.

How to Download Clip Recordings from ClickUp

If you want to back up your video or share it outside the workspace, you can download the file from ClickUp.

To download a Clip:

1. Open the Clip from the panel or from within a task.
2. Locate the download option in the Clip controls.
3. Click download and choose a location on your device.

The video file will be saved locally so you can upload it to other tools, share it externally, or store it as part of your own documentation.

How to Delete a Clip in ClickUp

Over time, you may want to remove outdated or unnecessary recordings. ClickUp allows you to delete Clips you no longer need.

To delete a Clip:

1. Open the Clip panel or the specific recording.
2. Select the option to delete or remove the Clip.
3. Confirm the action when prompted.

After deletion, the Clip will no longer be available in your ClickUp workspace, so be sure you have downloaded any recordings you might need later.

Best Practices for Using Clip in ClickUp

To make the most of Clip recordings in ClickUp, keep these best practices in mind:

• Keep it short: Aim for focused recordings that cover a single topic or process.
• Use clear titles: Name your Clips in a way that makes them easy to find later.
• Add context: Pair the Clip with a short written summary in a task or Doc.
• Mind permissions: Ensure that viewers have the right access within ClickUp.

These habits help your team quickly understand and act on the information in every Clip.
