Upload and publish a video

Prepare your media, choose visibility and channel details, and confirm playback after processing.

Prepare the video

Use a file you own or have permission to publish. Give it a useful title, description, thumbnail, and category before uploading.

Open the uploader

On Videos, choose Create. On your own channel profile, you can also use Upload New Video. In Step 1: Upload Video, check Publish to to ensure the intended channel is selected.

Choose Upload File, then drag the file into the upload area or select Upload Video. Check the allowed formats and maximum size shown in your own account. Record Video is a separate option and may request camera or microphone permission.

Upload File selected with drag-and-drop area, Upload Video, Record Video, and Next controls.

Use an existing video URL

If you have a supported hosted video, choose Add via URL. The form accepts direct MP4, WebM, or M3U8 stream URLs, or YouTube links. Only use a source you are allowed to share; do not paste private, temporary, or signed media links into a public listing.

Add via URL selected, showing the empty Video URL field and supported URL types.

The example address in the empty field is a placeholder, not a working video. Continue with Next when your source is ready.

Choose access

Select the correct channel and visibility. If the video is membership-only, verify the intended tier instead of relying on the title or description to restrict access.

Wait for processing

Upload completion and playback readiness are separate states. Keep the page or app open as instructed and wait until Koopo shows the video as ready.

The screenshots show source selection only. Settings, upload completion, processing, and publication were not exercised in this capture pass.

Test the published result

Open the watch page as the intended audience. Check sound, seeking, orientation, access rules, and the thumbnail on the named website or device environment.

Captured on the local website on September 17, 2026. No media was uploaded, recorded, or published. The channel identity and existing private videos are excluded. Native mobile controls still need separate capture.
