Note: This feature is available on the Premium Plan and higher.


Starter and Business plans support video URLs only (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo links).


Overview

The Video Uploads feature allows users to upload videos directly to your contest, rather than linking to an external platform.

All uploaded videos are hosted securely on the ViralSweep platform and played using an HTML5 video player, ensuring a smooth viewing experience across devices.


Key Features

  • Upload videos directly—no third-party hosting required

  • Built-in HTML5 video player for reliable playback

  • Access and export all uploaded videos at any time

  • Direct access to raw video file URLs


File Requirements

Make sure your uploads meet the following criteria:

  • Maximum file size: 500MB per video

  • Supported formats:
    MP4, MOV, WEBM, AVI, WMV, FLV, MPEG, 3GPP, 3G2, MKV


When Should You Use Video Uploads?

This feature is ideal if you want to:

  • Run contests that require user-generated video submissions

  • Keep all entries stored in one place

  • Avoid relying on external platforms like YouTube or Vimeo


Best Practices

  • Encourage users to upload compressed videos to stay within size limits

  • Recommend widely supported formats like MP4 for best compatibility

  • Provide clear instructions in your campaign on what kind of video to submit
