Video Verification and contacting airbnb

Video Verification and contacting airbnb

hi.

since i need to travel in the near future and need to have a place to stay, i decided to give airbnb a try.

everything went well, except the videoverification (i have no vacebook/linkedin/etc).

i uploaded a video a coupple hours ago, but the page still tells me i need verification.

currently i only have 2 hours left for verification. (i was not able to do videoverification for some time, since there is no option to upload a video and the page uses flash for taking a video (and flash is dying out))

 

after looking at past messages, it seems this is a common problem.

 

following this thread here:

https://community.airbnb.com/t5/Community-Help/Contact-Airbnb-A-Community-Help-Guide/m-p/16165#M2339...

i used option 1, the contact form, to describe my problem.

 

since this is a problem which can't be solved without account information, i guess the request was routed to airbnb.

 

how long (do you guess) this problem will take to solve?

or would you recommend me to call airbnb's customer experience line?

 

hope someone can help me.

regards

raphael

i am verified now.

here what i did (it maybe will help someone in the future):

as suggested by the community experts i created a gmail account and used it to verify.

that worked instantly.

Hello

 

Am also not having any online profile such as Facebook, Google, LinkedIn.

In an help message from May I was suggested to go to:

edit profile

fotos

Symbols and videos

 

Clicking on foto there is only the possibility to upload a foto.

No symbols, no video.

 

How do I upload a video?

Or how do I provide verification without having an online profile?

 

Thank you very much, Aurelia
