The problem

Good contributions get lost in complicated uploads.

Attachments are too large. Transfer links expire. People lose interest when sending a video means downloading another app or creating another account.

The solution

One link. A clear request. An easy way to contribute.

Give people a branded video form that opens in their browser. They can read your brief, add their footage and complete the requested details in the same submission.

Feature spotlight

Put live responses first.

For the highest confidence that content is human-generated, choose live device-camera recording. Combined with Vloggi’s technical and non-technical checks, verified submissions can achieve a 100% confidence rating.

Common questions

Make it easy to upload video.

Do contributors need an app or a Vloggi account?

No. Contributors open your call-out in their browser and follow the submission steps without installing an app or creating a Vloggi account.

Can people upload video from a phone?

Yes. The browser-based video form works on phones and computers, so contributors can send footage from the device they already use.

Should I choose live responses or file uploads?

Choose live device-camera responses for the highest confidence in human-generated content. Vloggi combines technical and non-technical checks, and verified submissions can achieve a 100% confidence rating. Enable file uploads when your project needs existing footage instead, or offer them as an alternative. Make the preferred action clear in your brief.

Can I ask for details and permission?

Yes. Add the contributor fields and consent wording your project needs. The answers and recorded agreement stay connected to the submission. Explore consent tools →

How do people know their submission is complete?

After submitting, contributors see the project’s confirmation page. Configure its message in Thank You Page Builder so they know what happens next.

Where do the submitted videos go?

Your team reviews submissions in the Project Video Library, with the associated contributor details. Learn to manage your video library →

What video formats and orientations can people submit?

The uploader supports common formats including MP4, MOV, AVI and WebM. Contributors can submit portrait, square or landscape footage. Show the accepted formats and size limits for your project in its file requirements before people begin.
