Join a shoot
Someone has started a shoot and wants your angle. You need the Angles app and the shoot's code, QR code or link. You don't need an account.
Join with a code
- Open Angles.
- Under Join with a code, type the 6 letters you were given.
- Angles moves on by itself when you type the sixth letter.
Older shoots have 4-letter codes. On iPhone, type the 4 letters and press Go on the keyboard. On Android, type them and tap the Join button that appears under the boxes.
Join with a QR code
- Open Angles and tap Scan a QR code.
- If Angles asks, tap Allow camera.
- Point your phone at the QR code on a phone that is already in the shoot.
You can also scan the QR code with your phone's normal camera. That opens the invite link, which is covered next.
Join with a link
Tap the invite link you were sent.
- If you have Angles, the link opens the shoot in the app.
- If you don't, the link opens a web page with the shoot's name and who is already in. Tap Get Angles for iPhone or Get Angles for Android. Once the app is installed, go back to that page and tap Open in Angles. You can also type the code from the page into the app.
Add your name and join
Whichever way you came in, you land on the join screen. It shows the shoot's name, who is already in, and the camera letter you will get.
- Type your first name. Everyone sees it next to your camera letter.
- Tap the join button. It says which camera you will be, for example Join as camera B.
On iPhone, your camera opens straight away. On Android, you see the shoot's screen first. Tap Open camera there when you are ready to film.
Angles remembers your name, so next time it is already filled in.
The first time you start or join a shoot, you agree to the terms and the privacy policy.
After you join
- Your clips go to this shoot only.
- Everyone in the shoot can see and use the clips you add.
- The shoot appears on your home screen under Your shoots, so you can get back to it.
- If you joined a shoot you were already in, the button says Back to and the shoot's name. You keep the same letter.
If the code doesn't work, see I can't join a shoot.
