Yes, go to your Profile page and use the Delete Account option. This action is permanent.
Video Upload
MP4 and MOV files are supported for upload.
Videos must be between 7 and 60 seconds long.
An audio track is required because it is part of what our moderation and contest format checks for — silent videos are rejected automatically.
Every video is checked by automatic moderation and, when needed, a human moderator, against our Community Guidelines. You can see the reason on your My Videos page.
Moderation
Uploaded videos are first checked automatically. Videos the automatic check is unsure about go to a human moderator before anything is published.
Yes. Open the video from My Videos and use the Appeal option — a moderator will review it again.
Manual review means the automatic check was not fully confident either way, so a human moderator will make the final decision.
Contests
A new contest runs every week. Published videos submitted during that week are eligible, and users vote for their favorites.
The winner is selected when the current weekly contest closes, based on the votes received.
Yes, but upload is rate-limited per hour to keep the contest fair — see the upload page for the current limit.
Voting
No, voting for your own video is not allowed and is blocked automatically.
No, you can vote once per video. Voting is also rate-limited per hour.
Email verification helps keep voting fair and reduces fake/duplicate votes.
Reports & Appeals
Open the video and use the Report option, then choose a reason. Our team reviews all reports.
A reported video is queued for moderator review. It may be temporarily hidden while under review, depending on the number and type of reports.
Yes, if a moderator reviews it and finds no violation, it can be restored.
Privacy & Safety
No. Only processed, moderated, and published videos are shown publicly — the original raw upload is never public.
No, rejected or non-published videos are only visible to their owner and to moderators/admins.
Raw originals are kept for a limited retention window after processing and then automatically removed — see our Privacy Policy for details.
Technical Issues
Check your internet connection and that your file matches the supported format and length, then try again. If it keeps failing, contact support.
Processing usually finishes within a few minutes. If it stays stuck much longer than that, contact support so we can check it.
Prizes
Yes, weekly contests can have prizes for winners — see the current contest page for details.
