Why doesn’t the content “stick” to my surface?

• Aero uses visual features of the real world to decide how the digital content should be shown. Using textured, non-repeating surfaces in well-lit environments help to ensure the content shows up successfully. 
• If your camera lens is not clean the computer vision system may have a hard time calibrating to the surface.  For more details, see creating experiences on surfaces.

Can I record a video of the content?

This feature is not yet available in the Aero Player. Many Android devices have the ability to record video or take screenshots. For details, please refer to your device’s user guide.
