How to Approve Personal Videos

Video Approval Process

All personal video submissions must be reviewed and approved by school administrators before they appear on your campaign page.

School administrators with Personal video approval notifications enabled receive an email prompt to review and approve submitted videos. If none have this setting enabled, the school’s first administrator is notified by default. You can adjust this setting under Online Giving > Administrators.

• Sharing the video: The Watch Video button (labeled Watch Personal Video on some campaigns) provides a unique share link. Copy this link to share via email, text, or social media; recipients will be directed to the campaign page with the advocate’s video open.

After approval: where the video appears and how to share it

Approved personal videos automatically appear on the advocate’s card on your campaign page. They do not appear as standalone elements.

• Approved personal advocate videos are attached to an advocate's card in the Advocates section. They are not displayed as standalone featured videos.

• To find an approved advocate video:

  1. Open your public campaign page and scroll to the Advocates section.
  2. Locate the advocate's card. If more than ten advocates are displayed, click View All Advocates to see the full list.
  3. Click the Watch Personal Video button on the advocate's card to play the video.

• Sharing an advocate video:

  • The Watch Personal Video button includes a shareable link. Copy the link to share in email, text, or social posts. Recipients using the link will see the campaign page with the advocate's video open.

• Where to find it: Locate the advocate’s card on the campaign page; the video is displayed on that card.
• Seeing additional advocates: If an advocate isn't among the most recent 10 displayed, click View All Advocates to see their card. This button appears when there are more than 10 advocates.
• How to open the video: Click Watch Video on the advocate’s card to play the video.
• Sharing the video: The Watch Video button provides a unique share link that you can copy and use in emails, texts, or social posts. This link will take you directly to a version of the page with the advocate's video open.
