This is for submitting “shout out” videos which will play when competitors pass the video board on the course. You can record a video for your friend, coworker, relative, etc.
The participant experience will be like this: https://www.facebook.com/MarathonRdam/videos/2337252402967281/
When you visit the site, you must give it permission to access your camera in order to record a video. The site will only have permission to record while it is open.
Search for your participant by name and select them from the search results. Then you will be shown a live image from your webcam.
Prepare your message and click Record. When you have finished your message click Stop. Then click Review to check that your recording is to your liking.
If the recording looks ok then click Upload to submit your video. If you want to re-record your video, you can click the Record button again.
Wait until the video is submitted and you see a success message. At this point your camera is no longer being accessed.
COURSE DEPENDENT, FILL IN!
When the participant crosses the timing system prior to the video board it will trigger their video.
Because there may be many participants with submitted videos passing the board simultaneously, it may not be possible to show everyone’s video.

The participant data is being updated as new registrations and changes are received, it might take a few days for recent entries to show up in the search, please check back.
You can also try searching by a partial first or last name - in case your participant used a different spelling, is listed under a nickname, etc.
Yes, although they may not all be played back. Priority for playback will be for participants who haven’t had a video played yet. If time allows, multiple videos may be played for one participant.
The recoring must be EVENT DEPENDENT, FILL IN seconds long. This gives long enough to get your participant’s attention, but not so long that other videos don’t have time to play.
Video submissions will be accepted until EVENT DEPENDENT, FILL IN
No. The videos will only be played at the event when the participant passes the video board, if there is a time slot available. They will not be available online before/after/during the event.
Sorry, but you do have to record the video using the submission website. In order to control video length, quality, format, etc. we can’t accept uploaded video files.
COURSE DEPENDENT, FILL IN
Both iPhone and Android are supported, although you may need the most updated version. Recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Opera are also supported if you’d like to record from your computer. You must have a built-in camera or webcam and microphone in order to record a video.
