  6. Click on "Upload" to validate your video. The uploading process will start.

Warning: After having uploaded your video to ScreenToaster, you will be automatically redirected to the page of your video. If you want to upload your video to both YouTube and ScreenToaster, upload first on YouTube then on ScreenToaster. The contrary is not possible for the moment.


What category / subcategory may I choose?

By default, your video will be published in the Miscellaneous category ("Misc"), which gathers uncategorized videos.

ScreenToaster is organized in 9 categories: Web, Mobile, E-Learning, Software, Development, Design, Gaming, Timewasters and Partners.

Choosing the right category / subcategory may help other users find your video.

Privacy options

By default, your video is set to "public", which means that it will be published on www.screentoaster.com
If you set your video to "private", the video will only be accessible from direct URL and will not be indexed by Search engines.
Users will not be able to see it unless you send your video by mail or embed it on a blog/website.

How can I make my video appear in the "Featured video" section?

A video becomes featured when the ScreenToaster team loves a video, saying "ok, let's publish it on the Homepage!".

Don't hesitate to send us the link of your best video at contact@screentoaster.com. Be creative!

10 rules to follow (or not) to be featured:
  1. Share your knowledge (teach us something!)
  2. Talk about hot topics and trends (review a new products, services and softwares)
  3. Record useful videos for the community (we'll always need a good Excel tutorial, even in two years)
  4. Show a new use of ScreenToaster (be creative and you'll be rewarded)
  5. Add at least subtitles.
  6. Even better with audio.
  7. Fantastic with a webcam.
  8. Focus on the quality of your video (the cleanest it is, the best chance you have)
  9. Choose your thumbnail with taste (if we click on it, be sure we'll watch it)
  10. Add a good description (be findable by users and add value to your content)
