Record video and audio in Pages on iPad

You can record audio or video on your device and add it directly to a page. For instance, when you create reports or books, you can record yourself reading a page so your readers can play it back.

To learn how to add an existing audio or video file to a document, see Add video and audio.

You can take a video with the camera on your device and insert it directly into your document.

  1. Go to the Pages app on your iPad.

  2. Open a document, then do one of the following:
