Ready to jump in? Here's everything you need to know to start watching and sharing videos on bitvid.
|
||
|
||
## Watching Videos
|
||
|
||
1. Just visit [bitvid.network](https://bitvid.network) or one of our alternate sites like [bitvid.btc.us](https://bitvid.btc.us) and [bitvid.eth.limo](https://bitvid.eth.limo). We also have other instances via [IPNS](ipns.html) gateways you can try.
|
||
2. Browse the videos on the homepage
|
||
3. Click any video to start watching
|
||
That's it! No account needed to watch.
|
||
|
||
## Sharing Your Videos
|
||
|
||
### Step 1: Set Up Your Account
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ **Note:** We are currently invite-only. [Submit an application](https://bitvid.network/?modal=application) to request approval for posting content.
|
||
|
||
1. Install a [Nostr extension](https://nostrapps.com/#signers#all) (like Alby or Nos2x) in your browser
|
||
2. The extension creates your secure login key automatically
|
||
3. Click "Login" on bitvid to connect
|
||
|
||
### Step 2: Prepare Your Video
|
||
|
||
1. Download WebTorrent Desktop app from [webtorrent.io/desktop](https://webtorrent.io/desktop/)
|
||
2. Open your video file in WebTorrent Desktop
|
||
3. It will create a special "magnet link" for your video
|
||
4. Keep WebTorrent Desktop running to share your video
|
||
|
||
### Step 3: Share on bitvid
|
||
|
||
1. Click "Share a Video" on bitvid
|
||
2. Paste your video's magnet link
|
||
3. Add a title, description, and thumbnail
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ **Note:** I recomend using [PostImage](https://postimages.org/) to host your image. You can copy the "Direct link" after uploading the image and use that link as your Thumbnail image.
|
||
|
||
4. Click "Post" to share!
|
||
|
||
## Tips for Success
|
||
|
||
- Keep WebTorrent Desktop running while sharing videos
|
||
- Add eye-catching thumbnails to attract viewers
|
||
- Write clear descriptions to help people find your content
|
||
- Use the "Private" option if you only want to share with specific people
|
