Frequently asked questions

Q: How long are the videos kept on the server?

A: All videos are kept 30 days, after which they are fully deleted (can't restore any).

Q: Is there a way that videos won't expire after 30 days?

A: Yes, you can Save a video. Also, you can subscribe to our service.

Q: If I record a video, will you display it somewhere on your site in a public timeline?

A: No. You need to share the unique URL of your video to your friends.

Q: So my video is really private.

A: Yes, unless someone guesses the GUID of the video (highly improbable).

Q: I record videos from my site using the Nimbb API. Can my videos be private so that they can be played only from my site?

A: Yes. You must enable private videos from your Developer settings.

Q: Is this some sort of Twitter video?

A: No. It's simply Nimbb. But you can use it in Twitter or any other services if you want.

Q: My video is quite pixilated. Why?

A: Here are a few tips to improve the quality. Make sure to have good light, but not too much (don't put a light in your background). Don't move too much while recording. Make sure that your camera is stable.

Q: My recorded videos freeze sometimes. Why?

A: Video recording requires a mix of appropriate settings. If the image freezes during recording, this means that you can't push your video fast enough to our servers. Your Internet connection might be too slow. Make sure you don't move too much while recording. Also, keep a static background and don't move your webcam.
