Edit your personal data: name, date of birth, gender, e-mail, set up notifications. Click the "My Channel" button and set it up - the functionality is very similar to YouTube. If desired, change the profile photo (JPG, JPEG or PNG, 800 x 800 pixels, up to 6 MB), channel cover (JPG, JPEG or PNG, at least 2204 x 864 pixels, no more than 10 MB), write the name and description of the channel. Specify a link, if you have one, to the donation service, where users can transfer funds. A button for sending whatsapp data funds to the account will appear under all your videos. You can allow or prohibit advertising on your channel. But by disabling it, you cannot participate in the Rutube Affiliate Program.
Adding a video to a channel is just as quick.
Click the "Add video" button.
Select the material and write the title of the video (up to 100 characters), description (up to 5000 characters).
Set the category you need (humor, health, sports, etc.), access parameter (open or direct link), publication time (now or delayed posting), check the checkbox regarding 18+.
Save and the video goes to moderation. A video up to 15 minutes long passes moderation in an average of 5 minutes.
According to some information, it will soon be possible to post videos on Rutube without pre-moderation, but to do this, you will have to link your account to “Gosuslugi” via the Unified Identification and Authentication System.
Unfortunately, you can't select a cover for a video from cut fragments of uploaded material, as is done on YouTube, you can only upload a third-party illustration.
Requirements for the download
Each video must be no longer than 5 hours and 10GB. Most video formats are supported - MP4, AVI, WMV, MOV, FLV and others. You can upload up to 5 videos at a time.
Video channel interface on Rutube
If you have a channel on Youtube and you want to download a video from it for subsequent upload to Rutube, the fastest and free way is to substitute “ss” after www in the address bar of your video.
Press the Enter key and the video will start downloading to your PC automatically via the ru.savefrom.net service.
If you are too lazy to manually download and transfer each video, you can transfer all the material at once using the Video Reposter service , but this is a paid option - 950 rubles per month.
You can apply for monetization after the first 5,000 views on your channel, through the affiliate program. In your profile, go to the "Rutube Studio" tab and click on the "Monetization" tab . If you are interested, read the affiliate offer agreement .
During the first 40 days after signing the affiliate program, all income is 100% yours, then the monetized income is divided with Rutube on a 50/50 basis. Since content moderation on Rutube is currently manual, you can wait from several days to several days for confirmation of your official partner status - it's different for everyone. Channel owners receive payment for views from those advertisers whose ads the platform embeds at the beginning of the video.
You can connect various wallets to your video channel; withdrawal of funds is also available to a Russian bank card from 3 thousand rubles.
