If you don’t already have snapchat on your phone, go ahead and download it. Snapchat is available for both Android devices and Apple devices and can also be used on BlackBerry devices provided you do a little extra work and deal with some uncomfortable error messages.

Step 2: Hold the “Ö”

Once you’re inside the Snapchat app, you’ll see an ”Ö” at the bottom of the screen. Normally this button is used for taking pictures. However, holding the button reveals something completely different. Hold the button until it Turns Pink, once it’s pink, you’re taking a Snapchat video! Simple hold the button until the desired video is shot and you’re done! Keep in mind though, you can’t send videos over 10 seconds to your friends and videos over ten seconds often “suffer in quality.”
