We present an overview of the current approaches and a categorization of the approaches of using video in design and research into four main strands: video ethnography, video recording of experiments, design videography and professional video production. Through case examples of videos done in our research group over the years, we discuss three potential video genres that suit the needs of co-design. After that suggest five considerations on what should be taken into account when using video in co-design. Finally we conclude by considering potential future directions for the use of video in design and research. ER -
