Can I upload or add videos to my book?

You can upload your own videos directly in the web editor or the Meminto app – or embed unlimited YouTube videos in your book.


Upload your own videos


  • Add your own video to a story using the video feature.
  • You can do this in the Meminto app or in the web editor.
  • Each uploaded video can be up to 10 minutes long.


The number of your own videos you can add depends on your package. See Video limits and additional capacity for all details.


Embed a YouTube video


  • You can embed unlimited YouTube videos at no additional cost.
  • We especially recommend YouTube for videos that should remain available independently of Meminto.


How to add a YouTube video


  1. Go to your answer or written text.
  • Navigate to the answer or section where you want to add a YouTube video.


  1. Click the “Video” button.
  • Click the Video button in the bottom toolbar.



  1. Copy and paste the YouTube video URL.
  • Go to YouTube and copy the URL of the video you want to add.
  • Paste the URL into the URL field in the web editor.



  1. Click “Add video”.
  • The YouTube video is now added to your answer.


Important: The YouTube video must not be set to “Private.” Use “Unlisted” for private family videos instead. If a YouTube video is later deleted or no longer shared, it can no longer be accessed via the QR code in the book.
