Adding Videos to a Story
Exposure Pro Plus or Business subscribers can easily add videos to their stories just like adding photos.
Uploading a Video
Start by clicking the "Video" button from the group options bar at the bottom of your screen. From there you will be presented with an "Upload Video" button.
Video files must meet the following requirements before upload:
.MP4, .MOV, or .M4V file format
No more than 300MB in size
Once uploaded, video files will be processed and optimized for desktop and mobile playback. Processing video takes around 10-60 seconds once uploaded but you can keep adding to your story while this is happening.
Processed videos are streamed at 1920px wide on desktop and 800px on mobile. Videos have a max display height of 1920px.
Playback Options
Once processed, you have 2 simple playback options for your videos. You can find these controls along with width options in the top left of the video group.
Traditional 'click to play' - Like Youtube, etc.
Silent looping - This will mute your video and loop it with no playback controls.
Videos in Photo Grids
Pro Plus and Business subscribers can also add videos directly into photo grids, creating mixed-media layouts that combine photos and videos together.
How It Works
Click the Grid button in the power bar
Drag and drop photos and videos into the grid
Videos will automatically play as silent loops when visitors scroll to them
Grid Video Behavior
Videos in grids always play as muted loops (no audio, no controls)
Videos auto-play when they come into view and pause when scrolled away
A maximum of 9 items (photos + videos combined) per grid
Videos use a gray loading background while processing
Grid videos cannot be opened in lightbox - only photos can
Accepted Formats for Grid Videos
MP4, MOV, M4V
Maximum 300MB file size
This feature is perfect for adding motion to your photo stories without interrupting the visual flow.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many videos can I upload to one story? There is no limit to how many videos you can upload right now.
What happens to videos in my stories if I downgrade my account to Pro or cancel entirely? Videos in standalone video blocks will be removed from your story but will be put back if you choose to re-upgrade. For videos in grids, they will be hidden and the grid will display only photos.
Can I add videos to grids on the Pro plan? No, videos in grids are a Pro Plus and Business feature. Pro users can still use grids with photos only, and can add standalone video blocks.
