Posting a Video Link

Posting a Video Link



Video links can be posted directly to your group from both the mobile app, and via the group room from your browser.
They can also be scheduled to post at a later time, from your dashboard.

You can watch the full video tutorial below or continue reading for written instructions.




The video link used needs to be from a public space, like YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, (etc). Your guests won't be able to view a video behind any privacy settings.

Mobile App (post now)


Navigate to the group you want to post to
Log in to the SocialGlow mobile app

In the message box, type or paste the video link you want to post. The link will show in black right now, but will be a blue clickable link once posted. You can add any additional message to the post as well.
Click the Arrow icon in the top corner to publish immediately.
