Upload your videos

Choose between pay-per-view or free files

You can upload a video for your viewers to watch it freely or you can charge the viewers credits for each view, as in pay-per-view (to make money). The way to make your video pay-per-view is slightly different if you upload through http (through your browser) or with ftp.

Upload a video through http

To upload the video through http, use the "browse" tab on cacaoweb page.

Upload a video through ftp

Upload files through ftp and update the metadata

Upload your videos directly with ftp (by using the application Filezilla) on ftpupload.cacaoweb.org. You use the same username/password on the ftp server than your usual cacaoweb username/password.

Once uploaded and transcoded, your videos will show up in the "My Uploads" section like any of your uploads. But after that, you also need to upload the metadata for your video, so the video can appear in cacaoweb search engine. To upload the metadata for your video, you need to get the cacaoweb link of your uploaded video (the one you get in My Uploads), then fill up all the information like in the screenshot below.

Paid videos (pay-per-view) through FTP

If you want to make your videos uploaded through ftp paid videos, please refer to the tutorial for paid videos. By following the tutorial you can upload cacaoweb

The price of the file can be setup later when you upload the metadata. The price can be changed anytime, and can even be put to 0 later, making the file free to watch.

For HD quality videos, it can take a few hours to get the video ready for download on cacaoweb network. Once it is, you get a link in your cacaoweb page.

Update the metadata of the file (the video informations)

By filling up meta-information about the video, the video will be indexed in cacaoweb search engine, this way more users will be able to see the video and you will get more views, generating more money.
