The reveal moment lasts ten seconds — don't miss any of it
The actual reveal — the confetti cannon, the colored smoke, the first cut into the cake — is over almost as soon as it starts. The parents-to-be are usually right in the middle of it, which means neither of them is the one holding a camera at the moment it matters most.
Guests, on the other hand, already have their phones out filming. The real problem is getting those clips off twenty different phones afterward, when half of them get forgotten in a camera roll or trimmed for a Story and never sent on.
This is the one event type where the paid plan's video upload feature earns its keep more directly than almost anywhere else — a gender reveal is, by definition, a single filmed moment you want captured from every angle, so pairing your QR code with video upload is what actually delivers on that.
Share the QR code on a sign, the printed invite, or in the group chat ahead of time so guests already have it ready — then it's just scan, hit record, upload.
