Troubleshoot adding videos to your team

Amara doesn't host the videos you add. We only store subtitles and some related data, and play the videos from their source location.

• 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.

3. Sort videos by date added, video title, and number of completed languages
