Site News Video Portal Update: Bulk Video Submissions

Hi everyone! It might seem a bit out of the blue to announce something like this, but I'd like to start being more proactive about keeping you guys updated on new features on the site -- the staff is constantly doing little work that may go unnoticed.

What we've got today is the ability to submit videos in bulk to our Video Portal. Until now, you could only submit videos one by one. For lively YouTubers, this can be a nightmare! Now, when you go to submit media, you can choose Submit Bulk Playlist from the dropdown.

​

A pop-up will appear asking for a URL to your playlist. You can grab this from your YouTube page -- for example, the URL to our playlist for Kingdom Hearts II is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL39CC1162037CE63F. If your playlist contains more than 25 items, you should increase that value -- if you have less than 25, you can leave it be.

When you hit submit, you'll be brought to a new page listing all your videos. You can add them in bulk to a pre-existing playlist of yours, as well as place them in a certain category. You can also edit their information individually, and uncheck the videos you don't wish to submit. Once you're done, all you have to do is hit Save Media and it will be uploaded to the Portal!

We hope that this will encourage more activity on our Video Portal. Please note that videos must be manually approved, so you'll have to bear with our staff as we sort through. We tend to be pretty prompt.

Right now the Video Portal may seem like nothing more than a nice place to showcase your videos, but we hope you'll all look forward to some updates coming to the Top 5 in the future. ;)
