Adding a video to your ad gets your ad noticed. Get that camera ready!

To add a YouTube video:

1	From the Post Your Ad page, the option to add a video link can be found in the Media section.

Insert the video’s link into the provided Video field. Make sure to use the shorter URL found in the address bar and not the longer share URL. For Youtube shorts links, please replace "/shorts/" with "/watch?v=" in order to post your video. For example https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-abcdefGHIJ would be modified to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-abcdefGHIJ

Please remember to keep your video family friendly! Once uploaded, videos can be viewed from the ad’s page or in a larger size by clicking View Larger Image.

Can you put a video on Kijiji?

How to post a video on Kijiji

Directly add a video from your mobile device (*currently available in the real estate category on the Kijiji app*)

To upload your 30 sec video to the app:

Click on the ‘Post’ icon at the bottom of the app and choose a category. From there, you’ll see the ‘Add a video’ section under the ‘Add a photo’ section.

Select a video from your image / video library.
The video can be as brief as 5 seconds, and a maximum of 30 seconds. You can edit your video with the trimming tool on the app if you have one that’s longer.
Video resolution should be at least 480p and in one of these formats: MP4, MOV, FLV, AAC, AVI, 3GP, MPEG. Make sure that the maximum file size doesn’t exceed 100MB.
Once you’ve uploaded the video, we’ll review it to make sure the content is safe for the Kijiji community.
After we review and approve your video—voila! It’ll be live on your listing.
