# How to record a lesson on your iPhone

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

**Short answer**Phone on a stand at eye level, a window or lamp in front of you, a quiet room, notes as short bullet points near the lens, and lessons cut into short videos of a few minutes each.

* **Eye level:** stack books under the stand; looking down at the camera reads as looking down at students.
* **Light in front:** never a bright window behind you.
* **Sound:** soft furnishings and a wired or Bluetooth mic beat a big echoey room.
* **Short chunks:** one idea per video. Students finish short videos.

## Questions

How long should a lesson video be?

Long enough to teach one idea well. Many course creators aim for a few minutes per video and split longer topics.
