Short videos are currently the most engaging and popular entertainment format. The Clips app brings a seamless, vertical-scrolling short video experience (similar to TikTok and Reels) directly to your MetaFox community. This is the ultimate tool to skyrocket user time-on-site, boost engagement, and keep your members returning for more.

Key Features:

User Experience & Engagement:

• Enjoy full-screen, vertical videos optimized for mobile. Users can swipe up/down for seamless transitions, tap to play/pause, and watch videos on auto-loop.
• Can upload video files directly from a computer/mobile device, or record directly using the MetaFox Mobile App. A vertical 9:16 aspect ratio is recommended for the best experience.
• Add engaging captions with hashtags, upload custom covers, and select categories to help viewers discover the content.
• Discover clips through versatile navigation tabs: Home, All Clips, Following, My Clips, and Friend Clips.
• Can like, comment, share, and report right from the video player without interrupting the playback flow.
• "Follow" button is integrated right next to the creator's username to help users grow their audience effortlessly.
• Users can post and share short videos on their personal Profiles, Pages, and Groups.

AdminCP & Moderation:

• Creators and admins can mark content as "Mature," which requires a warning before playback or restricts viewers under the minimum age.
• Admins can set maximum file sizes and maximum video durations (e.g., 60s, 90s, 180s) specifically for different User Roles.
• Easily configure who can view, create, upload, delete, comment, report, and moderate videos based on their user group.
• Manage and organize clip categories visually from the AdminCP.

Notice:

• FFMPEG must be installed on your server, or you must integrate a third-party service like MUX, to handle video transcoding (converting to HLS format) and automatic thumbnail extraction.
• The "Following" feature requires the default Follow app to be enabled.
