A channel is a LiveVideo member’s account. Each person who creates an account is creating a unique channel for LiveVideo.

They’re similar, but channels are better. A profile is something more static and boring whereas, a channel is special, dynamic. A channel is also interactive, engaging, and your chance to broadcast to the world! That’s why we give you many options to customize your channel layout and template – so you can tweak it to best present yourself!

Tags are important because they are the key words that identify what a video is about. Tags enable you to easily search for the videos you want to watch, and allow others to find the videos you upload. So say you’re in the mood to watch something that will make you laugh until you cry, you might want to search for “hilarious,” “crazy,” or “funny.”

You sure can! We’ve made rating the videos you love or hate really easy. If you love a video, simply click the “Hit” button to vote for it and make it a hit. On the contrary, if you don’t like a video you can click “Miss” to reduce its rating. It’s that simple!

If a video gets enough “Hit” votes from the user community, it has the opportunity to become a featured video. If a video gets too many “Miss” votes, better luck next time! Video ratings allow you to browse the highest rated videos on LiveVideo, as determined by the user community. So voting for videos is important because it will help determine what videos you want to see!

In order to provide a safe and responsible community, commenting on videos is only available to registered users of LiveVideo. Registration is free and quick! Under the video player click on “Post Comment” then type your comment in the field and click “Save.” Note: If you are unable to post a comment but have registered, make sure you are logged in and remember, no inappropriate comments.

LiveVideo gives you the opportunity to respond to a video with one of the videos you uploaded, or one of your favorites. So say you have a video similar to one you’ve viewed and you want to brag that yours is better, you can do so with a video comment! Another great thing is you can finally express yourself better than with emoticons and chat lingo and respond with your real emotions. If a video really made you ROFL, show us!

Of course! If you see a video you like and would like to see more from the channel, click on the “Subscribe” button in the “Video Details” box. You can then choose to be notified by email when a new video is uploaded to the channel. Additionally, if you are browsing channels and come across one you’d like to subscribe to, just click on the “Subscribe” button directly on the channel page.

When you see a video you would like to watch again, you can add it to your Favorites by clicking “Add to Favorites” under the video player. There’s no maximum to the number of favorites you can have, so add away!

When you are logged in you can view your favorites by clicking “My Favorites” in the Home tab. Clicking on “Delete” under the video will remove it from your Favorites list. You can also check out the videos other LiveVideo users have added to their favorites in the “Top Favorites” part of the Video section.

You can only delete a video you have uploaded. To do this, go to “My Videos” and under the video you wish to remove, click “Delete.” If you would like to flag a video for deletion due to violations of the Terms of Service, please click on “Report Content” under the video player to notify our staff.

You can delete comments on your videos by playing the video and then clicking on the number of comments (you have to have at least one to delete, of course), and then clicking the link “delete comment” underneath the comment itself.

We allow comments up to 2500 characters to be left on videos.

We do not have any hard and fast guidelines that we use to select our featured videos. As a rule of thumb, be interesting, non-offensive, and generally likeable. It's up to you to find out what that is!

The Family Filter is a filtering system LiveVideo provides to keep content intended for 18+ audiences hidden unless the user is of age and chooses to turn off the Family Filter.

At the very top of LiveVideo there is a menu that allows you to login, view your My Home page, and turn on or off the Family Filter. On means the Family Filter is active and filtering out 18+ content, and off means the 18+ is viewable.
