Projects that include videos and / or images representative of the product / service have a greater impact on potential customers and investors.
In the section Configure your project, you can add the URL of the main video (elevator pitch) that will appear highlighted in the summary of your project. Additionally, you can add descriptive videos of your product, operating process, facilities, etc. These videos will appear in the «Project» tab, in the Project Gallery section.
The videos you include must be published on one of the two main social video platforms: YouTube or Vimeo. These are the guidelines of these two platforms to upload your videos.
