Hey there and congratulations again on unlocking video uploading!

The aim of this help article is to get you familiar with uploading video(s) to TinglyTube and help you do it right so people want to click on your video and enjoy it.

Rules for video uploads

First, let's start with the rules of uploading video to TinglyTube:

• Videos must be ASMR or relaxing in nature.
• Videos must be under 2gb (specifically 2.99gb) in size and in one of the following formats; .mp4, .avi, .flv, or .mov. We highly recommend uploading your video in .mp4 format as it will be immediately playable after you upload as it won't need to go through the first pass of FFmpeg conversion (an open-source codec library for converting many video formats to .mp4, which is universally playable on all kinds of devices, PC, mobile, gaming console, etc).
• And all videos must of-course abide by our Terms and Conditions (specifically the acceptable use clause).

Uploading your first video and metadata best practices

Second, let's now show you how to upload your first video and give it the proper metadata:

If you haven't already, please sign-out and back into your TT account, this is so that the video uploading permission change will take effect on your account.

1. Click the "UPLOAD" button in the top right corner of the menu. On mobile, tap the hamburger menu in the top left corner of the screen and locate the "UPLOAD" option at the bottom of the menu.                                                                                 
2. You will then be able to choose the video file you would like to upload, you can do this by either using the drag-and-drop function or choose a file from your PC or device via the "Choose File" button.
3. Once your video file has been attached, you can now start adding the 'metadata' to your video, this means your titles, description, tags, category, and privacy options. All of the metadata fields are mandatory and you should fill them out completely and properly so your video ranks high and possibly even get featured! But please don't add misleading or spammy metadata.
4. Then hit the "Upload" button and your video will get beamed up to our server and start uploading! As it says on the page, keep the tab open, if you close it you'll have to upload your video again. You can mesmerize yourself with the realtime progress bar in the meantime.
5. Once your video has successfully uploaded, you've been redirected back to the uploading page and if you uploaded your video in .mp4 format, you should see it live on your profile right away, if not, just wait a couple of minutes! Keep in mind that the processing time depends on how long your video is, longer videos will take longer to process and convert.
