actualNoteContentPart: ## Use cases for videos
  If a picture is worth 1,000 words, a video must be worth a [novella](https://images.amplenote.com/73efbaa4-1242-11ec-9068-f674aa3b173c/1b5c726c-af19-438a-b087-be570bbc2557.png) ? In a small space, you can convey meaning that is far more difficult to convey through written content or static images. So, what are the different options for working with videos in Amplenote?
  
  Putting videos in notes can be useful for a variety of cases. Some of which include:
  **"Help" or "How-to" content.** Probably the #1 use case for videos. As the [Amplenote Help Center](https://www.amplenote.com/help)  attests, Amplenote excels at allowing you to publish pages that explain concepts using fewer words and more embedded images and videos. If you need to explain to others how a product or concept works, videos in [published notes](/help/publish_notes_to_web_embed_notes)  are an excellent choice. 
  **Capture what you've seen on the web. **When you're doing research, sometimes the most interesting part of what you see is how a page moves about as you use it. Using a tool like [Amplecap](/help/amplecap_browser_extension_guide) , you can help note viewer experience that content exactly as you did when capturing it. 
  **Better meeting notes**. Nobody wants to read the wordy meeting minutes. Why not record a 1-2 minute summary of the meeting and start your meeting summary with that instead?
  **Bug reports**. When you need to communicate with a developer that something isn't working as expected, embedding a video in a to-do that gets sent to them is a highly efficient option.
  **Journal a vivid life experience**. Many people keep a daily journal, but few ever go back to revisit what they wrote. Maybe if you used less words, and more visuals, your future self wouldn't be so bored by what you have to say? 😂
  **Liven up a blog post**. Similar to some of the above, if you publish the notes you create, your viewers will appreciate occasional breaks from pure text. You know?
