How to Add a Video to Your Listing

Adding a video to your property listing can significantly enhance the visibility and appeal of your property. Whether you want to showcase a YouTube video or upload your own video, it’s a straightforward process in PropSpace.

Steps to Add a Video to Your Listing:

  1. Navigate to the Listings screen.
  2. Select the relevant listing record from the data table, and click on the Edit Listing button.
  3. Switch to the Other Media tab.
  4. Copy and paste the YouTube URL into the YouTube Video Link field. Alternatively, you can upload an MP4 video (under 10 MB in size) by selecting the Upload Video field.

        

  5. Save your changes, and your video will be visible in the listing preview page and on supported property portals.


Idea
  1. Enhanced User Experience: Including a video allows potential buyers or tenants to virtually tour the property, offering them a better understanding of the space and its features.
  2. Video Content Quality: Ensure the video is clear and professional, showcasing the property's best features. A well-made video can significantly increase interest in the listing.
  3. Consider Virtual Tours: For a more immersive experience, consider creating a 360-degree virtual tour or a video walkthrough of the property. This allows users to explore the space more interactively.
  4. Consistency: If you upload videos regularly for your listings, ensure they follow a consistent format and style to build a recognizable brand presence.

Troubleshooting Video Issues:

If your video is not showing up on the portal, here are some key troubleshooting steps to consider:

  1. Check Video Link:

    • Double-check that the video link or file has been correctly uploaded to the listing in PropSpace. Ensure there are no typos or formatting errors.
    • If using a YouTube link, ensure that the URL is correct and functional (try playing it outside of PropSpace to confirm).

  2. Portal Compatibility:

    • Some portals may require specific settings or additional steps to allow video links to be displayed. For example, certain platforms may need you to add a 360-tour tool or register as a vendor before they accept video content.
    • Verify the portal's video requirements and ensure your content meets those guidelines.

  3. Avoid YouTube Shorts:

    • Many portals do not support YouTube Shorts. If your video is under 60 seconds, it might fall into this category, so it's best to upload a regular YouTube video instead.

  4. Video Duration:

    • Check the video length. Some portals have restrictions on video length (e.g., videos under 60 seconds may not be accepted). Make sure your video meets the portal's criteria for video duration.

Adding videos to your listings is a great way to attract more attention and provide a richer experience for potential buyers or tenants. By following these simple steps, you can enhance your property presentation, whether through a YouTube link or a direct video upload.
