To add a YouTube video:

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.
