How to post videos on Google Maps places
Table of contents:
Local Guides is a tool included in Google Maps that allows users to obtain rewards in exchange for evaluating and rating the places they visit. In addition to the review of the site in question, images can be uploaded to illustrate our comments. Now Google goes a step further and allows the publication of videos of the place If an image is not enough to tell what you are seeing, now you can do it on video. Of course it has certain restrictions.
We have two ways to record the video to upload it to Google Maps. The first is directly from the application. In this case, it will allow us to make videos of a maximum of 10 seconds.
The second is upload a video that we have on our mobile. In this case the application will take the first 30 seconds of the video. As is logical, the content will be reviewed by Google to see that it complies with the standards of the service.
How to post a video on Google Maps
Posting a video on Google Maps is very simple. Once the site we want to write about is located, we will have to select it on the map. Then it will open the file with the information of the site. If we scroll down the screen we will see a button that indicates "Add photos"Or, in the photos section, we will see an icon of a camera Both options are valid.
When opening the camera, on the shutter button, we will see a message that notifies us of the new functionality. If we keep the button pressed, we can record videos of up to 10 seconds These videos will be uploaded as site opinion, just like photos.
As we mentioned, we can also select a video from our gallery. If you opt for this option, the video may be up to 30 seconds. If it is longer, Google Maps will cut it off after 30 seconds.
To upload the videos we will have to be signed up to the Local Guides program. In addition, for each video we upload and is approved, we will receive 7 points in our accountSo now you know, if you want to level up quickly, you will have to start uploading videos to the platform. It is, without a doubt, a good way to show what we can see in a place, exhibition, restaurant or show.
