Tasks with 2+ people
Tasks marked "2+ people" need someone to do them with you. The other person will be on camera. There are three kinds:
- ① Do a task together: Chores that take two, like moving furniture.
- ② Teach me first, then repeat: Record the other person doing the task first, then do the same thing yourself. No need to reset the scene in between. Keep the phone pointed at what they're doing.
- ③ With someone: Work side by side and help each other. Keep the other person in the shot.
For the 2-minute tasks ("Hand someone an item they ask for" and "Greet a guest at the door"), keep the phone on your head and pointed at the other person's face the whole time.
⚠️ Before you record a 2+ person task
- The other person's face and voice will be in the video. Get their consent before you record. See Your videos and privacy.
