If a picture is worth a thousand words, than a video is worth so much more. Set your listing apart with a short video showcasing why a buyer should purchase your listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increase buyer confidence by showing off your device from every angle. You don\u2019t need to upload an edited masterpiece, just a short demonstration showing the device is in good working condition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t want to talk or be in front of the camera? You don\u2019t have to. Hold the device in your hand and rotate it around. Give a brief visual tour of your device and any accessories included in your listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feel free to get creative! Just make sure you are accurately depicting the device you will ship to your buyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listing video is an optional feature so if it\u2019s not for you, there\u2019s no pressure to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Feature: Listing Videos\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f3bhu1L2I2c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"wp-block-wp-bootstrap-buttons\"><a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/listing-videos\">See Live Listing Videos<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Video Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Only 1 video is allowed per listing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Video size must be <strong>100 MB or less<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Video length must be <strong>90 seconds or less<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many video encoding formats are supported, including MP4, MKV, MOV, AVI, FLV, MPEG-2 TS, MPEG-2 PS, MXF, LXF, GXF, 3GP, WebM, MPG, and QuickTime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Content Policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The subject of the video <strong>must<\/strong> be the device listed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listing videos are subject to staff review and approval<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Media uploaded to Swappa is subject to <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.swappa.com\/terms\">Terms of Use<\/a> and must adhere to <a href=\"https:\/\/demo.swappa.com\/policies\">Marketplace Policies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Add Video to Your Listing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To add a video to your listing, click the <strong>Upload Listing Video<\/strong> button at the top of your listing page.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"141\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28432 img-responsive\" style=\"width:947px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be taken to a video upload page where you can drag and drop the video.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1153\" src=\"https:\/\/swappa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28431 img-responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After uploading a video, it will take a little time to process.
