To submit a video for analysis the user can either provide its URL or upload a local copy of it from their machine (please notice that the maximum permitted video size is 2GB, and duration up to 30 minutes).
The supported on-line video sources include:
- YouTube
- X
- TikTok
- Vimeo
- Twitch
- DailyMotion
- LiveLeak
- Dropbox
Beware though that not all videos from these platforms are accessible to our service, due to platform-specific or user-defined restrictions about the use of each specific video; moreover, the provided URL should always point to a single video, rather than a playlist of videos
The service can handle videos in mp4, webm, avi, mov, wmv, ogv, mpg, flv, and mkv format.
Platforms That Don’t Provide Direct video URLs
- Messenger: Videos are behind login; dynamic URLs, often expire
- WhatsApp: Media is encrypted, videos are not hosted on public URLs
- Snapchat, BeReal, Threads, Telegram, iMessage, Signal, Discord, Twitch: Most of these use encrypted media delivery or temporary file links.
Workarounds:
- Use a Desktop Browser (preferably Chrome).
- Open platform in browser (not app).
- Right-click / Inspect Element on image to find actual URL.
- Paste that into your tool.
