Allow Video Tours via Upload or Embed

It's 2016 and video is critical to the success of a vacation rental. Please allow hosts to either upload video, include a YouTube or Vimeo link or insert corresponding embed code to our listings.

This feature is already available on other popular platforms and Airbnb should be leading the charge in this area!

Good idea!

btw you can already add a 30 seconds video in your profile about yourself/host profile.

I agree that it would be great ! A 30 second video with a webcam isn't long enough.

I suggested this at the Airbnb Open in Paris as well as several other times since it is truely a benifit for everyone.I also want to be able to have a video showing guest how to use the keyless entry lock.Nothing any funner then late night guest not understanding the keyless entry.

They couldn´t check if you tell contact data in the video.  ;;)

 Hi, just trying to understand how this works - why was the status of this idea archived? What does it mean?

Hello I would like to add my two cents... Video like many of the above comments have stated is crucial in the success of a listing. Please consider.

I would really like to be able to post a video of my property as well. I understand that Airbnb is worried about the sharing of contact info in a video and that it would be difficult to check them all. Perhaps a warning about an automatic penalty if anyone is discovered sharing contact info if found in random checks of videos? My property is in the backcountry and the photos are what sells it now and a video would be even better. Please consider this idea.

Video MUST be included in profiles. I cannot believe it is not.

Yes! I have a drone hd video of our property.  It would really add to the value of our location if guests could see our location from the drone video.

Yes please. We have drones standing by 🙂

 

A fabulous video for listings would be better for all the AirBNB community to enjoy.

Almost every guest requests a video before they rent the property.  The fact that this feature isn't available in the web application shows lack of development foresight in my opinion.

Hi,

I was just given a great 52 second drone video of my property. 

What is the best way, if any, to add this video to my listing?
