Vertical smartphone filming!

Wouldn’t it be a good idea for the Udemy platform to enable vertical film clips? So many today are watching their films on their smartphones. Personally I find that my presentation and introduction of myself works better in vertical form. Not only because I can do a standing presentation as a teacher but also because I have vertical art and display behind me that would be lost in a ‘landscape’ format.

What do you all think? Is it something that Udemy can do?

    Hi;

    Welcome to our community.

    I suggest you send a test video for Udemy review team and ask them .

    They are realy great team and tell you every thing about your video and teaching.

    But then what would you do for all those watching on their computers?
    They would get black bars on both sides?
    My take is, anything that you can film in portrait, you can also film in landscape and get much more in the frame (assuming of course that you have enough room to go back to capture everything in the frame).
