Introduction

Video upload is a two step process:

1. First the video file must be uploaded to Bazaarvoice.
2. Then, the uploaded video must be associated with a review, question, answer or comment during submission of that content.

This page describes the upload process. See the submission documentation for the appropriate content type to learn how to associate an uploaded video.
