Videobuilder platform lets readers submit video to magazines

A new video player that lets magazine and newspaper publishers receive video content directly from readers and advertisers has been launched on Videobuilder.

The ‘Submit a Video’ button can be added to the new player, and once activated, readers or advertisers can submit video instantly. Received video is first filtered via a moderation area within Videobuilder, allowing publishers to preview it in their accounts before approving it for broadcast.  Submitter’s data is collected during the submission process.

Publishers can also add the new player to Facebook as well as their own websites, and readers can also use their own Facebook accounts to comment on and ‘Like’ any video content submitted. LinkedIn and Twitter plugins have also been integrated to help publishers drive traffic back to their sites through other social networks. The new player has also been developed in HTML5 to ensure functionality on iPads and iPhones.
