Editorial policy: how VideoBB guides are written

VideoBB's guides are written by the teams that run the platform, checked against specifications and official documents, and fixed in place when something changes. They carry no ads, no affiliate links and no paid picks.

VideoBB publishes guides about hosting, uploading, formats, streaming, players, quality and creators. This page explains how they are made, so you can judge how far to trust them.

Who writes the guides

Two desks write every guide. Bylines name a team, not a person. In structured data they are marked up as organisations, never as made-up people.

Platform Desk

The Platform Desk runs the upload, encoding and delivery pipeline. It writes about hosting, formats, streaming, players and quality.

Creator Desk

The Creator Desk supports channels. It writes about starting a channel, thumbnails, growth, analytics and ways to earn.

What we will and will not claim

Every guide follows the same rules. They exist so that a reader never has to guess what is fact and what is opinion.

• Checked facts. Technical claims are checked against the relevant specification or official documentation. Each guide links these in its Sources section.
• No made-up numbers. We do not publish statistics we cannot source. When a number is a rule of thumb, the text says so.
• The real product. When a guide says what VideoBB does, it describes what is live today, not a plan.
• No paid picks. Guides contain no affiliate links, sponsored placements or paid recommendations.

How the guides are organised

The guides use a hub-and-spoke layout. Each of the eight guide hubs explains its subject in full. Each article under a hub answers one clear question.

One question, one page

We do not publish near-copies of a page that differ only by a keyword. Each article lives at exactly one address. A page that only exists to rank would be removed.

Written for people first

Guides use short sentences and plain words. Hard terms are explained the first time they appear. A good example is our explainer on containers and codecs.

Updates and corrections

Every guide shows the date it was published and the date it was last updated.

How a correction works

1. A reader or a desk spots a mistake, or a specification changes.
2. The claim is checked against its source again.
3. The article is corrected in place, and its updated date changes.

To report a mistake, send the contact form with the topic "A mistake on a page" and the page link. Other routes are on the contact page.

Illustrations

Hero images on guides are AI-generated abstract illustrations made for VideoBB. They are decorative. They are never shown as screenshots, photos or proof of anything.
