How do I add a video to my listing?

You don't upload the video file to us. Instead, upload your video to YouTube, copy its link, and paste the link into the Video URL field on the Photos and Media step when editing your listing.

Got a virtual tour or 3D walkthrough (such as Matterport)? Paste that link into External Link 1 or External Link 2 on the same step. The Video URL field is for longer, landscape YouTube videos.

Adding a YouTube Short

realestate.com.au won't show a YouTube Short added in the Video URL field. If your video is a Short, or your video isn't showing on realestate.com.au, paste the link into External Link 1 or External Link 2 instead. A Short filmed in portrait shows on realestate.com.au as a property walkthrough.

The External Link fields accept YouTube links in these formats:

• YouTube Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ followed by your video's ID
• Share link: https://youtu.be/ followed by your video's ID
• Standard link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= followed by your video's ID

There are two External Link fields, so you can add a virtual tour and a YouTube Short to the same listing. realestate.com.au shows one 3D tour and one walkthrough video per listing.

Where the video appears

Yes, it goes to the portals. The video link is sent to realestate.com.au and Domain with your listing and shows in their video or media section, and it plays on your PropertyNow listing page too. Anything in the External Link fields is sent to both portals as well. Each portal decides how it displays media, so allow a little time after saving for it to appear.

Further information on uploading to YouTube is available here.
