Submission FAQ

Clear answers on what we accept, how review works, and what standards every submission must meet.

What footage is accepted for publication?
We accept original eyewitness video tied to a real event, with clear location/time context and no misleading edits. Re-uploads, compilations, staged clips, and AI-generated scene fabrication are not accepted.
Do you publish graphic or violent content?
No explicit gore or exploitative imagery is published. If footage has public-interest value but contains sensitive moments, we limit exposure through strict editorial review, contextual labeling, and selective clipping.
How do you verify submitted footage?
Our team checks source continuity, metadata when available, visible landmarks, weather/light consistency, and timeline alignment with known reporting. We may request your raw file or follow-up details before publication.
How quickly will I get a response after I submit?
Most submissions receive an initial response within 24 hours. During major breaking events, priority clips are reviewed faster, while lower-context files may take longer if verification requires additional checks.
Do I keep rights to my video, and what permission do you need?
You keep ownership. By submitting, you confirm you have permission to share the footage and grant Relevant.cam a license to review, edit for clarity, and publish across our platform with proper credit under our contributor terms.
What are the minimum quality standards for submission?
Footage must be watchable and authentic: stable enough to assess, intelligible audio when relevant, no heavy filters, and no text overlays that alter meaning. Include a short factual note on where and when it was captured.
