Add videos of landmarks near you to help students and visitors

Caption: A graphic of a phone showing a video of Qutb Minar, a monument in New Delhi, India, on Google Maps against a green background.All month, we’ve been celebrating the India Literacy Project, which uses photos and videos taken by Local Guides to teach students in India about historical landmarks. This is just one of the many ways Local Guides can make a difference for millions of people every day.

Help others discover monuments, museums, and historical landmarks near you by sharing videos on Google Maps. Take viewers on a mini tour of a museum you love or explain the significance behind a monument in your area. You can even offer helpful tips for first-time visitors.

How to upload a video:

  • Take slow, steady videos that give a panoramic view of the places you visit
  • When you’re on WiFi, open the Google Maps app
  • Add videos to places using the same steps you use to add photos

For tips on taking great videos, check out this article.
