For over a month, videos could be published on Viewly anonymously. As of today, it is also possible to publish them on your Steemit blog.
The video preview is positioned at the beginning of the post, followed by your regular content.
0% Fee
Viewly takes no posting rewards as a fee. When you publish to your own blog, 100% of rewards remain yours.
Improved YouTube uploads
The YouTube cross-uploading now also supports lower quality formats, and will fallback to the best possible quality automatically.
Your hard work is appreciated. The content is in the works!
I'm looking forward to it :)
great! I have a video to use for the next post! going to try
Keren
Is the size of video limited to 100mb
Yes, but for YouTube cross uploads its unlimited.
Regular uploads will become unlimited as well, as soon as we deploy in-browser encoding.
Thank you so much,i will be sure to give it a shot
Great stuff, how is the monetization going? Do we need a different coin for videos?
Very excited to put our music videos up on view.ly
Have a look at our artists on Steemit
@edenmichelle @danshaw @leelektrik @owenkay @shaewebbmusic
Thanks @pandamama - going to be great having our videos up on view.ly - Well done @furion and the team of developers - you guys rock
This is fantastic news - thank you @furion - you guys are the best - thanks @pandamama
.
Spectacular @furion. Even better than DTube! Upvoted & resteemed.
Truly awesome... now we have great competitor for youtube that too on a blockchain... Thanks @furion for creating Viewly... All the very best.
Wow, i didnt knew about this... But it is only limited to 100 mb videos?... My videos use to be a bit larger than that...
Yes, but for YouTube cross uploads its unlimited.
Regular uploads will become unlimited as well, as soon as we deploy in-browser encoding.
Cool, i will try the cross uploads :)
I have hoped you would update the page quickly after you saw the DTube announcement yesterday. It is sooo cool to have two video platforms publishing on the Steem blockchain within days of YouTube demonizing all those YouTubers for their critical content. This is huge!
I love how viewly looks and behaves. Brilliantly done so far. I made a test video post about Viewly and I saw that the video is wrapped into a html span element. That needs to be removed when the post is manually edited later. Probably something that should be fixed.
Thank you so much for this. This is the best development for Steem since I joined two months ago!
Watch it on Viewly
Thanks to your post, I just found another issue. It turns out that editing a post on steemit will overwrite the
json_metadata, and now the video is gone.Right. I still had the video open and that link still works. So the video seems to be still there somehow. I updated the link in my comment and my post.
Unfortunately, its a flaw in the design. The video will die eventually, as none of the nodes will recognize it as such (it only lives as a cache on the upload server).
One way to rescue it would be to manually repair the
json_metadatafield in the post, however I'm not aware of an easy way to do it for a non technical person.In any case, I need to upgrade the design to fix this flaw.
Great bro
Ok, I am sure you guys can fix that. Awesome job so far!
Now we only need to change the payout system to make videos (and posts) profitable in the long run as well.
Great work man, I was waiting for this update. Now we can post our original videos here. One question, can we have some type of plagiarism into place so that people don't paste other people's work
Thanks for your work! I don't have any content to upload right now, but I'm sure there are a lot of people who do :-)
All kinds of video solutions for Steemit are coming up! This is great!
Cool stuff!
I also post quality content.
My blog just started so your suggestions will be very helpful.
Thanks and have a wonderful day. 😉
someone just annouced a steemit based platform for releasing videos. have you heard of it?
Thanks @furion. Posted first video today. Worked well. @ suggested features. Embed video so we don't have to leave steemit and allow to upload and change video preview. Thanks keep up the good work.
@chippyofdoom was asking how much Viewly is going to take as benefits in my below post ? @furion, do you know ?
https://steemit.com/viewly/@sanjeevm/dtube-vs-viewly-lets-go-for-the-one-which-is-better#comments
Very informative article thank you for the post!
Great, Steemit is really developing and getting better and better.
One suggestion for improvement would be that I could easily save great posts like this. Same 'save this post' functionality would be great if possible.
A great imagination.
I am very comforted.
I have not seen anything like this before ..
When I see your post makes me laugh and amused.
I'm glad to see it.
You have an incredible imagination.
If I can advise you, do not waste your talent.
Maybe with that talent you will become a successful person.
I really like people who have special talents.
Thank you for entertaining me with your post.
I like you...
Does @Cheetah work for comments?
Great service, another good addition to the steemit economy.
@furion is one of the steady hands here who make great impact without making noice. He is one good guy I have never seeing abusing or bullying people like some few whales here do. Congratulations man. Your success is all our success.
wow thank you for this! I like having my options =) you are awesome!
Thanks @furion for your continued work on this. I haven't posted any videos to my Steemit blog because I have not wanted to use Youtube. I'm very glad options like Viewly exist. Supporting you with my upvote!
Smooooth. Thanks for the great platform, I just posted my first video on View.ly directly to my STEEM account.
I don't understand though (im new) I have been posting my videos in my steemit blog ever since I joined a few months back. I have had no problem with embedding videos into my posts. Is there something different here I'm not catching onto? Sorry if this is a stupid question haha
I believe the only difference is that now you don't need YouTube to post the video to FIRST. YouTube has been known to censor material and this provides another repository for your video.
Apart from the answer that @happyme gave, you need to upload the video to YouTube, and then copy the URL and embeds in your post. However, if you are using viewly then you just upload in Viewly and it automatically becomes a Post. So your job is reduced.
Makes sense ? If not, then please raise questions. I don't think, any question could be stupid :) Its curiosity instead.
I uploaded several videos on Viewly and all went well.
Just speechless!
Is there any list of supported video codec or a any max video size to me uploaded. If there is, please what are those?
Could you give an example ? I'm not sure what that post is about. It's about posting screenshots of video and linking to an external link ?
I can now make videos of my belly!
Those will replace the cat videos as the most popular videos of all time!
Do you have github for view.ly?
When clicking on the videos in the "Also on Viewly" section, the redirect goes to a "404 page not found." The problem seems to be %40 showing up in the URL, when it is removed the page loads properly:
https://alpha.view.ly/view/%40useruploads/forging-self-sovereign-identities-in-the-age-of-the-blockchain-weboftrust-blockstream-9d325d0c08
https://alpha.view.ly/view/useruploads/forging-self-sovereign-identities-in-the-age-of-the-blockchain-weboftrust-blockstream-9d325d0c08
It's a good idea to allow for separate options and allowing us end users to have an easier place to upload to.
Thanks for all the time and effort you have put into your project.
I see now....
Can SteemIt get any better?
It certainly can, it all depends on us. We all need to bring up the culture to make it better.
I tried the other app DTube today, and the experience was good. Earlier I had issues with Viewly. So lets see, which one is better.
Hop on our telegram group, and send me the video you're trying to upload, and I'll debug the issue.
I just uploaded the video now, and it was uploaded. So seems some issue was there and its now fixed.
You can see it here. Earlier I was getting error when uploading the same one. I had asked many times, but may be you did not notice at all.
https://upload.view.ly/view/sanjeevm/6912--2017-08-12--software-project-handover
And I would also like to share my views on the comparison. To me it looks like the quality in viewly is better. Same video uploaded in both sites, but viewly renders it better when viewing. So end user experience will be good.
Good Job, Congratulations.
For those who are on this page and reading this conversation, here are both the links :
https://dtube.video/v/sanjeevm/r3zb3eky
https://upload.view.ly/view/sanjeevm/6912--2017-08-12--software-project-handover
Please have a look at both and comment, which is better, I feel viewly is better. But lets weigh in your opinions.
can you tell me how to earn money from dtube.video ?
Try viewly instead. Here is my comparison of Viewly vs DTube. But again its a personal opinion, and I don't want to hurt anyone. Just a honest opinion.
https://steemit.com/viewly/@sanjeevm/dtube-vs-viewly-lets-go-for-the-one-which-is-better
Great stuff!

This is excellent! Can we upload videos that we have already uploaded on Youtube? Like am I right to assume that there are no rules are broken?
yes, going to the viewly page you can add the link to your youtube video at bottom of upload page. paste your title and info into the optional boxes. viewly will upload video and add format. you can then plug your title, tags, description, and your private key and steem username.
Unless I am wrong, doing this way will degrade (at least a little) the quality of your video, for it has to be re-encoded. But I guess it is not very important for most people.
the degradation of resolution isn't all that bad for me since i'm on a really crappy wifi connection most of the time.
great furion
nice i will try on my next post
Nice work guys!
This is sweet! :)
Someday we don't youtube no more.
Something we can call our own. ;)
Finally , some change , like we needed . Steemit is becoming easier now for the platform , I like that @furion thank you
we are having a lot of options for video uploads, this is great. viewly and dtube.
Nice this is good news have to check it out and use it for my next upcoming posts.
Thanks for sharing this. I was just thinking of trying to do a video and was viewing some on Steemit. Wasn't sure how to do it and you posted just at the right time. Great job.
Great job....up
That's great news to hear and i'm sure it will be a huge success,thanks for sharing.
