Overview: How to Add Videos on Vodpod

Vodpod provides three great tools for collecting videos from around the Web: a browser button (bookmarklet); search; and an automatic importer that works with your blog or YouTube account.

The best way to collect videos from thousands of sites is with our bookmarklet or our orange Vodpod browser button, shown here next (it’s the orange button!):

It  allows you to add videos from 1000s of sites around the web with just a click. You can also use this button to post videos directly to your blog, or favorite social network (Facebook, Myspace, etc.) or bookmarking service (Digg, Reddit, Del.icio.us). You can learn about it here.

Vodpod Search is another great, easy way to add videos. When you search on Vodpod, we’ll show you results from the millions of videos collected by other Vodpod members. You can sort those results by date, relevance, or views.

Clicking on a result will take you to the video page; to add the video to your collection, just click the “Collect this video” link next to our orange logo under the video.

If you don’t see the video you want among our Vodpod results, take a gander at the “web results” tab; you’ll  see videos from YouTube, Daily Motion, Google Video, Myspace and Comedy Central (for the Daily Show and Colbert Report among others) and dozens of other sites like Hulu not yet collected on Vodpod.

Finally, if you’re a blogger and already in the habit of posting videos directly to your blog, you can use our blog importer to automatically add those to your Vodpod.com collection.
