  • Video File:  Press the orange video file icon to add a video already on the device to your task.
    • The video should have spoken or captioned instructions since it will override the text-to-speech for the task.

• From this screen, you can customize the start and end messages for the task sequence, or press the blue New Step icon.
  
• From here, you can input the instructions for the sequence step and insert an image file or take a photo with the device.

• You can also add a timer that will remind the user to continue with their task. The timer can be set in increments of 15 seconds, for a maximum value of 30 minutes.
  
• Once you’ve configured the sequence step to your liking, hit the green checkmark button in the top-right of the screen. This will take you back to the sequence editor screen

• Now you can create multiple steps and 1.) Edit them 2.) Delete them, or 3.) Reorder them by pressing on the step you want to move and then pressing the arrows in the corresponding direction.
