## Priskribo

With this add-on recording and sending videos in WordPress _finally_ comes true.
No further coding required. Just install + configure a bit (like duration, width
or enable audio etc) and that’s all. Wicked.

 * Record from webcam, simple
 * Allow _video_ and _audio_ inputs in your forms, wow!
 * World first solution
 * Very easy to add with Ninja Forms

All you need is the Ninja Forms plugin so that this extension can be added there.

Latest version (zip file) also can be downloaded for free anytime from GitHub:
 
[https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-for-ninja-forms/blob/master/dist/videomail-for-ninja-forms.zip](https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-for-ninja-forms/blob/master/dist/videomail-for-ninja-forms.zip)

More documentation on setup and configuration see:
 [https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-for-ninja-forms/tree/master/doc/faq/videomail-for-ninja-forms-faq.pdf](https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-for-ninja-forms/tree/master/doc/faq/videomail-for-ninja-forms-faq.pdf)

## Ekrankopioj

 * [[
 * There will be a new Ninja Form Fields in the common section called Videomail.
 * [[
 * Once you have assembled a form and preview it, any browser will ask for webcam
   access first.

## Instalo

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.
 1. Upload 
the `videomail-for-ninja-forms` plugin folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Visit the ‘Ninja
Forms’ menu item in your admin sidebar 4. Build a form using videomail

Probably you also want to whitelist additional domains besides localhost. See whitelisting
under FAQ.

## OD

### Donations?

That would be awesome 🙂 Scroll to bottom of https://videomail.io/faq

### Where is the documentation?

Check out that pretty online PDF at [https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-for-ninja-forms/blob/master/doc/faq/videomail-for-ninja-forms-faq.pdf](https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-for-ninja-forms/blob/master/doc/faq/videomail-for-ninja-forms-faq.pdf)

### What options are there?

That new recordable video field comes with many options you can configure yourself
such as duration, width, audio on/off and much more.

Each option is explained well at bottom of this PDF file: [Videomail FAQ](https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-for-ninja-forms/tree/master/doc/faq/videomail-for-ninja-forms-faq.pdf)

### How does whitelisting work?

For local development, everything will work right away because the localhost URL
is already whitelisted on the videomail server.

But once you deploy your WordPress site out in the wild, we will have to whitelist
your production URL(s). For that, just submit a [Whitelist Request](https://videomail.io/whitelist).
Once your whitelist entry has been approved, you’ll get a secret whitelist key. 
With that key, you can activate this plugin for your site.

Just note that this requires registration on Videomail and that the first three 
months are free (trial period).

### Is there a live example?

There is also the live site [videomail.io](https://videomail.io). Have a look and
play.
 You can see the videomail-client in action and use it right away for free,
anytime, anywhere. Many people, especially Deaf and Sign Language users, already
use it for their everyday communication.

### Can I use videomail outside of WordPress?

Yes. There is a low level npm [videomail-client](https://github.com/binarykitchen/videomail-client)
package. This WordPress plugin relies on it.

### Where is the support?
