Upload Videos and Create Your Playlist

There are three easy options for uploading videos to your site using the Cincopa media platform:

  2. Desktop media agent - download our desktop application to upload videos directly from your PC's folders. Install it on any PC or several PCs so you can access and upload your videos from anywhere!
  3. Upload videos from any URL - simply paste the URL for any video on the web, and upload it directly to your Cincopa "cloud" drive.

Embed a Video from a "URL" like YouTube or Vimeo

Add any video to your playlist from anywhere on the web! Popular video sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion, etc. let you share videos on social media websites such as Facebook with the click of a button, but you can also link to these videos with a simple URL.
