Novice and expert director badge update

Hello everybody,

This is my first post and sadly is a question.

Working hard to gain expert director badge from novice badge. I have been adding videos and the count for video is not increasing.

Does anyone has an in depth understanding if

The video should be the first video of a place?

Duration should be a certain length?

Must be updated through streetview only or google map is fine too?

Should it be 360 only?

Thank you,

Ken

Hi @KennethR1 a video should be added on Google maps exactly like a photo.

Follow this link for the detailed instructions

The count on video is slow to upload, and it can take a few days.

To know more details about the quantity of video, just click on the info on your badge when it will be unlocked.

Congratulations for your future badge

Thanks for asking this question! As @ErmesT kindly shared with you it usually takes some time for the badge to be updated.

Just to let you know, I have redacted a bit the title of your post so everyone can understand better your question.

Hi @KennethR1

Don’t be discouraged, it usually takes a while… I think it took 2 weeks for my badge to show :+1:

Keep on adding videos, they will show up :grin:
