Uploading My Videos
Made sure that your video is less than 10 minutes, smaller than 100 MB, and in an acceptable format. Then follow these easy steps:
- Click "Upload" from the top menu of any WebFlixVideo page.
- Enter information about your video, including Title, Description, Tags, Website and Category.
- Determine if you want your video set to Public or Private.
- Click the "Browse" button to browse for the video file. Select the file you want to upload.

It can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to an hour for your video to upload to WebFlixVideo, depending on the size of the file and your internet connection speed. It then must be processed and converted by our system.
WebFlixVideo accepts a wide range of video file formats such as .WMV, .AVI, .MOV and .MPG transferred from most digital cameras, camcorders and mobile phones.
Processing time varies greatly depending on the format of your original video, file size and upload traffic. This could take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.
Make sure your video is under 10 minutes in length. We accept most video file formats, including .wmv, .mov, .mpg or .avi. We recommend the MPEG4 format at 640x480 resolution with MP3 audio.
Each uploaded video requires review and acceptance before it becomes available online.
You will have to wait for the Webmaster to approve your video, before watching it online.
Usuallly it should not take more than 48 hours to be approved, but there is no guarantee as each video must be reviewed to ensure inappropriate content is no a factor. (Note: Should you ever upload inappropriate or obscene content on this site, you will be banned - period.)
You cannot change your uploaded video to another video, however you can disable it from showing, as well as edit or add more information about your video.
Login into your account and click on "
My Videos" link below top menu buttons. Browse your videos and click on "
Remove" button to disable video; or click on "
Edit video" link to edit it.
