Title: Record audio/video fields for contacts?
ThreadText: # Record audio/video fields for contacts?
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-10-22)
  
  I'm using CiviCRM + Drupal 8.
  
  I'd like to be able to add fields to contacts that can record audio &/or video, so that we can collect interviews with our contacts.
  
  Is it possible to add "recording" fields that will allow you to record from within CiviCRM?
  
  If not, what's the best way to set up contact fields to allow you to upload an audio/video file to a contact's record?
