You have to be a beta tester and upgrade to the latest available release.

@LucioV  I don't think you need to be a beta tester to get this available features. The only thing I know is by upgrading and as TokyoJoe said the updates are still rolling out.

Hi @sjps Question and answers are available by now but for the video if you update and didn't see this feature it means the update has not arrived yet, but as TokyoJoe said the updates are still rolling out. So sometimes soon it will be available for everyone

@davidcox No official policy or guidelines yet. But if I were you I would still follow the same policies regarding photos as well on maps till there is an official confirmation of policies and guidelines regarding video upload. That's my own view 😃

@HelloSamsonR and @TokyoJoe I don't see that option on my iOS device, however I see Q&A but it's not available on iOS devices yet. Hope it will be soon. 😊

@HelloSamsonR  I agree totally but would love to know the intent. Are they looking for panning shots that show and define the location or can it be a sales piece?  I would say panning shots and video walk throughs. I assume no talking heads kind of video.  This could be a pretty creative option and I hope they define it well and keep it under control. Like if you contribute something for a Gecko location should it be totally irrelevant and make no sense? (joke)  Great find and I am off to shoot some video to test it out some more for how they rank and traffic they get vs. 60 picture vs still shots.
