Trying out the New Features on Speem.watch: IPFS

I felt so happy when I saw the latest post by @steem.seven on the new features. Speem.Watch made it so easy to make a post with videos included. I make use of Speem. Watch anytime I want to upload video content on Steemit.

I have been battling with storage space issues with my phone, and as a result, my phone has low memory. What I do is I will write my post in my Steemit editor, upload the needed pictures, and also include the video link. I will head over to my Speem. Watch, posted everything I copied, then go back to get the tags, coming back to my Speem. Watch everything else, I kept clearing off, which was frustrating.

In this new stream. Watch feature, I uploaded my writeup and went over to copy my tags, while coming back, it refreshed, but everything was stored. I'm happy with that. In this new feature, the content is saved the moment you paste it into the editor.

I told a user to make use of Speem to upload video content posts, and the user asked what Speem is. Many users upload video content on Steemit, and they have no idea about speem or how to go about it. So I decided to create a little awareness for users at my end and other users who will come across the post to know how to go about uploading video content on Speem. Watch.

What we have been making use of before this new feature came in is the External link tool, which allows us to upload our video to external video platforms, specifically YouTube, copy the link, and paste it in our editor on Speem. This procedure looked like a lot of work for some people, but the introduction of these new features will make it easy for them.

• Click on the Direct upload feature which is IPFS( interplanetary file system). This tool allows us to upload videos directly from our devices without uploading to external video platforms. This IPFS has granted each user 750MB to upload and test the new feature.

If you're using your mobile phone, use the click to select feature, which takes you to your device folder, and you can select the video you want to upload. It will load to 100% which shows it has been successfully uploaded.

The details editor allows you to include the post titles, the description, which is the post you will upload, and also the tags needed for the post. Make sure you use the #steemvideo tag in the first 4 tags, which makes your post visible to the video curators.

One thing I noticed, and I would love to ask @alejos7ven, is that can we upload more than two videos using the IPFS feature, because when I tried, only one video was selected, so I had to use both IPFS and an external link.

Every other thing you need to know is explained in this video.
