info: Create a video page 1/3

On this form you can create your own video pages the same as the video pages you can see in the other sections of this website. All the video pages you create will be visible in the OPEN SECTION of this website, together with other users' uploaded videos. They will also be accessible through your personal account, so you can modify or eliminate them if you wish. Good quality video pages can be promoted to the Official Section and so get more visits. If that happens, you will not be able to edit or delete them. Your video pages could also be modified by the webmaster for improvement.

Creating your own video page is easy, you can do it in 3 simple steps. On every page of the form, you have contextual help next to most of the boxes you can fill, but you must also read the instructions of every page before creating your first one. These are the instructions for this first page.

VIDEO URL --> We only accept videos from YouTube, DailyMotion and Vimeo. To insert a video onto your video page in M-E simply go to the video server, for example YouTube, and copy the url of that video. You can find the video url in the place shown in this picture:

video url

Now go to your upload-video form and paste that url into the field "Video URL" and then press the button -Validate URL-. When you validate your url this way, M-E will get the video, the title and the image for you. You can later change the title or upload a different image from your computer. If you upload a different image you will not see the image change on this uploading page, but the new image will be updated when you save your changes.

NOTE: Sometimes a video is visible on its server but it is blocked (embedding disabled) so it cannot be shown on M-E. In that case your video will not be visible here so you would need to find another copy of it.

TITLE --> Write the title for your page.

DESCRIPTION --> Write here a brief description of what the video is about. Try to make it short (unless you have lots of important information to share). Tip: you can also see the description coming with the video on the Internet.

IMAGE --> When you validated the video url the original video cover was selected for you, but if you want to change that image just click on this box to upload an image from your computer. The image box for the cover will have an aspect ratio of 16:9, so if you want your image to completely fill the box try to get an image with those proportions.

CHANNEL --> Here you can choose the channel that best fits the nature of your video: Music (for musical videos), Lessons (for video lessons) or Cool (the rest)

These 5 data are required before you proceed, you must fill them all with information. When you finish, click the arrow button to go to the next form, where you can give some additional information about your video.


As a rule, we will accept all video pages submitted by users but we may reject your video page in some special cases including, but not restricted to, these:

Automatic rejection:
- If the video (and your text) is not suitable for all viewers (because it contains violence, sex, bad language, antireligious propaganda, racism, etc.)
- If the video is not in English
- If you use it (now or in the future) to insert any kind of advertising or write about things not connected to the video content. (advertising inserted on the video by YouTube is ok, since we cannot do anything about it).
Probable rejection:
-- If the video page is completely boring or stupid and has no linguistic or entertaining interest at all.
- Videos with no transcription must be really interesting to be approved.

Once the video is accepted and published, your name (nick) will appear after the title. If in the future you unsubscribe and eliminate your account, your video pages will still be visible in the open section but your name will not appear anymore.

We may or may not correct your video page, extend it or promote it to the official section. If the video gets broken in the future and you or us can't find a convenient replacement we will delete your video page with no further notice.
