I have our rental properties listed on several different listing sites, and want to implore all Hosts to send feedback messages to AirBnB requesting that they add the option for Hosts to post video walk-through tours of their rental properties in order to give potential guests a more accurate understanding of the property. It also benefits the Hosts that are serious about their rental property business and have invested in professional videography as a differentiator to attract more bookings. If AirBnB is concerned about the bandwidth of accepting video uploads and storing them on their servers, then they should at least allow for links to YouTube videos to be posted after review by the AirBnB team to ensure the video meets all the guidelines. HomeAway offers the ability to post approved video tours, and I have had many guests who have told me the video footage was the deciding factor that allowed them to choose my Villa over others they were deciding between.
Please, let AirBnB know that this is important to Hosts by contacting them to create the urgency. They are collecting their fees, they need to be providing us with all the tools in order to succeed as a small business.
