Show exactly which window needs attention. Start with the room and whole unit, then film the seal, glazing and nearby finish so a repairer can find the concern.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
Identify the room and window, then show the complete accessible unit and surrounding finish before filming close details.
The living-room window is shown in a wide view from inside the room.
Move slowly along accessible frame corners, hinges and weather seals. Locate apparent gaps or displaced material without declaring a performance failure.
The lower frame and seal are filmed closely; any apparent displacement needs checking in person.
Show the glass, corners and pane edges in steady light. Record visible chips, cracks or apparent condensation between panes, if present.
The glazed unit and lower edge are recorded from inside; no glass performance test was performed.
Film the sill, jamb and nearby wall to locate marks or damage. Describe what is visible without claiming a cause of water ingress.
The sill and adjacent painted finish are shown in context; a small mark would require follow-up.
Record the property, room and window identifier. Film a wide view before moving to accessible frame, seals, glazing and adjacent finishes. Include a scale or location note where it helps a repairer. This record covers visible condition from safe access only. Footage cannot establish thermal performance, water tightness, installation compliance, the cause of staining or the condition of concealed fixings. Do not operate an unsafe window for a recording.

Questions, answered
No. It can show an apparent gap, damage or condensation, but the cause and repair need an appropriate on-site assessment.
Only if it is safe and within the inspector's task. A visible-condition recording does not require operating a window that may be unsafe or defective.
Record the property, room, elevation or window number, visit date and the view used for each clip.
