Introducing our new poll type Video Contest
Today, we are excited to introduce an exciting new feature: Video contests! Now, our users have the opportunity not only to create surveys, votings, and photo contests but also to organize video contests.
You benefit from the comprehensive features and customization options that you already know from our other PollUnit types. These include our various voting types, the ability to create custom designs, comment on submissions, or request any information from submitters and voters. Embedding a video contest on your own website is also possible.
Video-specific features
PollUnit accepts all common video formats and can automatically convert them into web-ready videos. The videos are stored in different resolutions and qualities. When a video is streamed, the quality adjusts automatically to the available bandwidth. This allows people to view your videos smoothly.
Adjustments to our packages
In order to offer you video contests, we had to make changes to our packages. The prices remain as affordable as usual, and our free account still allows you to create free video contests. Since videos need to be transcoded and consume significantly more storage, there is now a new storage limit. This limit is chosen so that you can create countless photo contests. If you create many video contests or collect particularly long videos, you will need to upgrade to a larger package. This way, the costs are fairly distributed among those who consume more storage and cause more server load.
