If you have a video of your dog(s), you can easily add this to your stud or dog for sale ads. Adding a video brings another level of interactivity to your ad and ads with videos tend to get the most engagement. You can show the dogs playing with their siblings, or have a longer explanation about the breed and your dog. There is no additional cost to upload your video to your ad. You upload a video either of two ways:
Directly to dogs.ie
Under the Image section of your ads you will find a new Video section. Here you can upload a video that’s up to 200MB in size and 60 seconds long. Click the Chose file button, select the image, and we’ll take care of the rest!
Once the video is uploaded you will see the options to view it on your ad page shortly afterwards.
The video will be displayed after the first image in your ad:
Edit / Delete Ad
In editing your ad you will have the option to replace the video or delete it.
Via YouTube
For longer videos you can upload them via YouTube.
- Upload your video to www.youtube.com/upload
- Set the video will need to be Public or Unlisted (Private videos can not be embedded).
Simply put in the URL for your video in your ad description after clicking the video button and dogs.ie will take care of the rest!
Supported link types:
- youtube.com
- youtub.be
Add a video inline in your ad text
In your ad description you can click the video button
And paste in the link to your YouTube video, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcBkvpKii1s
Note: YouTube Shorts
For shorter vertical videos, YouTube may put your video into their “Shorts” version of their website. You will get a link like
- https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0b3qZ-r8FUI
If you take the last part of the link, in this case 0b3qZ-r8FUI and add that to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= you will have a link that you can embed, such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcBkvpKii1s that you can now embed as normal.
