    Using our Zoopy Mobile site (m.zoopy.com) you can do just about everything from your phone, including uploading, commenting and watching videos at a size that suits you.

    You'll be able to contribute to interesting and relevant Topics (dedicated content pages around events and people that make an impact on the world)

Uploading

  • How do I upload files to my Zoopy profile?

  • What rights exist on the media I upload to Zoopy?

    By default, all media uploaded is under an 'all rights reserved' license, which effectively means that no one else can copy or use your media. However, when uploading you also have the option to license your media individually under a Creative Commons license. It's totally up to you.

My account

  • What do I do if I've lost my password?

    Don't panic. On the sign in page, just click on "I've forgotten my password". We'll help you reset it by mailing a link to the email address you used when joining Zoopy.

  • Can I change my username?

    Unfortunately not. Your username is the only setting you can't change in your profile, which is why we suggest thinking carefully before choosing it when you join.

My media

  • How do I embed Zoopy media on my own site or blog?

    To embed a media item, click the embed code on the item's viewing page to copy the code to your clipboard. Then paste the code wherever you'd like that item to display on your site or blog.

  • How do I edit my media items?

    Once you're logged in, go to your profile media page. You can select multiple items by clicking on the checkbox next to each item, or you can select/deselect multiple items using the control bar at the top of your media list.

    To edit the selected items, click on "Edit" in the control bar.

    Alternatively, you can edit individual items by clicking on the "Edit" link next to each media item's thumbnail.
