‘Short Videos’ Tutorial
Get noticed on social media
Social media users love watching video shorts because they’re easy to consume. Ensure that your short videos get the attention they deserve by making use of our wide range of video editing tools to make your videos professional-looking. Plus, it’s fun and easy to use. Create YouTube shorts for your YouTube channel, Instagram reels and stories, videos for video marketing, and for other social media platforms.

Optimize videos for your website, blog, and email
Embed your videos on your landing pages or your blog’s home page. Why link your website visitors to a YouTube video when you can get more traffic on your site by embedding your videos? Create 30-second videos that they can watch on your blog pages or send them via email and newsletters to level up your email marketing campaigns! Post user-generated content on your site; everything you need is right within VEED.
Multi-stream, record, edit, and host videos online
VEED also lets you record, live stream, and host your videos online; no need to look for third-party apps for those. It’s a live streaming software, screen and webcam recorder, and a video hosting platform. Do it all in one place! Your videos and recordings will be stored in the cloud, and you can access them anytime, anywhere from your VEED dashboard. If sending a large video is not possible, you can host your video on VEED—just send them the link to your video and they can watch online; no need to download. This also solves errors on file size limits on many messaging apps.
