A Guide to the Videos Section of an Event on Snipesocial
The Videos section of your Snipesocial event allows you to display and manage video content associated with your event. While you can browse and interact with videos directly from this section, administrative tasks must often be performed through the timeline or on the specific video’s dedicated page..
Step 1: Accessing the Videos Tab
Locate the Videos Tab
From the event page, look beneath the header image for the navigation menu. Click on the Videos tab to open the video gallery associated with your event.
Step 2: Exploring the Videos Tab
Videos vs. Reels
In the Videos tab, you’ll find two sections:
- Videos: Longer form, more structured content such as event recordings or promotional material.
- Reels: Short-form, engaging clips often used for quick highlights or to capture the vibe of the event.
Step 3: Interacting with Videos
Once in the Videos section, you can:
Play and View
Click on any video to view it. A player will open, allowing you to watch and interact with the content.
React and Comment
Users can leave reactions or comments on the videos, fostering engagement. Use this feature to encourage discussions or gather feedback.
Share
Videos can be shared directly from the event’s video player to other areas of Snipesocial.
Step 4: Administrative Capabilities
Basic Administration
While the Videos tab provides an organized gallery, it is not meant for extensive administrative tasks. To edit, delete, or manage videos, you must navigate back to the timeline or directly access the specific video page.
Managing a Video
From the video’s dedicated page, admins can:
- Edit the Post: Update the description or change video details.
- Delete the Video: Remove it permanently from the event.
- Adjust Comments: Turn commenting on or off for the video.
Step 5: Why Use Videos in Your Event
Videos
- Provide detailed information or recordings about your event.
- Are great for promotional content or longer updates.
Reels
- Create quick bursts of visual engagement.
- Encourage attendees to share fun or interesting moments.
Understanding the Video Tab
The Videos tab is dedicated to showcasing only the content that has been uploaded directly to your Snipesocial event. This means:
- Direct Uploads Only: Videos uploaded to your event timeline will appear here.
- No Embedded Content: Videos embedded from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo will not be displayed in this tab, though they can still be shared on your timeline.
By focusing on direct uploads, the Videos section ensures all content is hosted within Snipesocial, providing a seamless and controlled viewing experience for attendees.
Both formats contribute to boosting engagement and enhancing the appeal of your event on Snipesocial. By effectively utilizing videos, you can create a vibrant multimedia presence that excites and informs your attendees.
