Step 1: Create an Account or Log In
If you don't have an account, go to the BitChute homepage and click on "Sign Up." Follow the prompts to register.
If you already have an account, log in using your credentials.
Step 2: Navigate to the Upload Page
Once logged in, locate the upload icon, which typically looks like a camera or an arrow pointing up, usually found in the top right corner of the screen. Click on this icon to start the upload process.
Step 3: Prepare Your Video
Format: BitChute accepts several video formats including '.mov', '.mp4', '.avi', '.wmv', '.3gp', '.ogg', '.webm', '.mkv', and '.m4v'. The preferred aspect ratio is 16:9, but other sizes are accepted.
File Name: Avoid using special characters in your file name, title, or description as they can cause upload issues.
Size: If possible, optimize your video size before uploading. Smaller files upload faster and process more quickly. Members enjoy greater file sizes, resolutions and upload priority. See more info here: https://www.bitchute.com/membership
Step 4: Upload Your Video
Select Video: Drag & Drop or Browse your video file
Grab a Thumbnail: Thumbnails are mandatory and you can grab one from your video or upload a customized one.
Title: Enter a title for your video (up to 100 characters).
Description (up to 5000 characters) to give context or additional information about your video.
Content Sensitivity: Select the appropriate sensitivity setting that accurately reflects your video content to ensure it aligns with BitChute's community guidelines. (Pro Tip: Normal allows to reach every user on the platform)
Search Terms: Add up to three hashtags that accurately represent your video for better discoverability. You can add these in the video settings after upload.
Publish right away: If you want your video to be immediately available on the platform leave this checked otherwise uncheck.
Proceed: Click this button to confirm and complete the upload process.
Step 6: Post-upload Settings
To access your video settings after uploading click the Edit button below the video on new BitChute or the Settings button on Old
Category: Choose or set a category for your video to help categorize it on the platform.
Discussion: Decide if you want to enable comments on your video.
Check Visibility: Ensure your video is set to public if you want it visible to everyone, or adjust visibility settings as needed.
Promote Your Video: Share the link on social media, forums, or wherever your audience might be to increase views.
Step 7: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Upload Stuck: If your upload seems stuck, try clearing your browser's cache, ensuring cookies are enabled, or check if any browser plugins are interfering.
Processing Time: Processing times can vary. If your video remains in processing for an unusually long time, consider re-uploading or optimizing the file size.
Special Characters: If the upload fails after reaching 100%, check for and remove any special characters from the file name, title, or description.
