Watching Videos and Adding Comments
Open Byte. This app icon looks like a red circle overlapping a green square on a blue background that you will find on one of your Home screens, in the app drawer, or by searching.
Tap the home icon. This is the Home screen and will generally open when you open the app.

Tap the heart icon to "like" the video. You can also double-tap on the video to "like" it.

Tap the arrow icon to share the Byte. You'll find this diagonally pointing arrow next to the heart icon. A menu of sharing options will appear: You can share the Byte externally, such as in a Facebook post. You can copy the link to the Byte. You can export the Byte to your local storage.
