Add a description to the video, tag friends, put your location and add an activity or feeling if you want, in addition to other possibilities at your disposal.

We recommend using a tripod or stabilizer for a more stable playback recording motion videos. In addition, you must comply with the conditions of use of the service, its policy and existing legality, in addition to finding the best way to take advantage of your reproductions to publicize your events, advertise yourself or whatever purpose you have with them.
