What kind of videos can I add?

Add from a hosting site OR use a direct link. 

 

Before adding a video to a team

Only add videos that you own or have obtained permission to share. 

Public videos are easiest for allowing Amara users to view and subtitle. Learn more about video permissions in our integration articles:

 

Important: Amara does not host videos

  • We only import video information

  • Video must be embeddable and public to view on Amara

    • Check host site settings, whitelist if necessary

    • If a video is private, users will not be able to view it

    • If a video is password protected, users must enter the password to view

 

Who can add videos to your team?

Team Owners can choose who can add videos to the team on the team Settings > Permissions page. 

  • On Amara Enterprise and Amara Plus teams, permission to add videos can be given to Admins, Managers, or Any Team Member by selecting the box.

Add Videos Through Integrations

Note:

  • Unlisted YouTube videos will not automatically import to the team, even if integration or feeds have been set for a YouTube channel. Only videos with privacy set to public will automatically import to the team.
  • If an Amara user has already added one of your videos to the Amara Public Workspace, that video will not automatically show up in your Amara Community team, even if you have set up integration between the YouTube channel and the team. Please contact enterprise@amara.org if you have questions about videos from your YouTube channel that have already been added to the Amara Public Workspace.

Troubleshoot adding videos to your team

  • Videos must be embeddable. This means that either they should be a direct link to a HTML5 compatible video, or to a player supported by Amara (like YouTube or Vimeo). If you have the option, whitelist www.amara.org for embedding on the video's source site.

  • Videos must be public at the host site to add to an Amara Community team.
