Frequently asked questions

Can I review and approve the videos in the contest before publishing them in the gallery?

Yes, the videos that the users upload to participate in the contest can be moderated, including the ones that come from the Twitter and Instagram integrations. 

In a video contest, can I let the users upload their video directly from their mobile phone?

Yes, by enabling the Video Hosting Extension. By default, the video contest app allows users to upload their video with a link from YouTube or Vimeo. By enabling the video hosting, the users can upload their own video file from any mobile device or computer. 

Can I integrate my video contest with Instagram and Twitter?

Yes, in the Video Contest, you can enable the integration with Twitter and Instagram. The integration works separately for each social network so you can decide which platform you want to import the content from only Twitter, only Instagram, or both. To enter the contest, users should post a video on their public profile with the campaign hashtag and a mention of the organizing brand. This way, the app will import the videos and show them in the public gallery of the video contest. 

Can I organize a combined photo and video contest?

Yes, you can let contestants participate with a photo or with a video, and that way increase participation. In the same contest gallery, you will find both photos and videos together.
