HowTo: Videos

HowTo: VideosFrom video cassette to DVD to Blu-ray: the evolution in the world of moving pictures does not stop at DocCheck. The old DocCheck TV service is being switched off and is handing over its broadcasting slot to a new video feature directly in the Community.
1. What has changed?

Previously, you could research and upload medical videos on DocCheck TV.

After DocCheck TV has been switched off, all uploaded videos are now located directly in the DocCheck Community, where you can also find other types of content such as articles, questions, documents or images on medical topics.

2. How do I find videos on DocCheck?

If the tab "Videos" is not displayed directly, click on "More" to open it.

You will now see videos that match your search term.

3. Where can I find the videos I have uploaded to DocCheck TV in the past?

Your old videos have been moved to the DocCheck Community.

They are displayed in your profile under "Posts".

Videos that you have published also appear in the "Activity" tab in your profile.

Note: If you have posted videos on behalf of a channel in the past, they will be displayed in the respective channel under "Posts" or "Activity".
4. Which kind of videos can I upload on DocCheck?

DocCheck is a community for medical professionals. Accordingly, videos on DocCheck should have a medical background.

For example, the community is looking forward to watching surgery recordings, educational videos or lectures.

Depending on the content of your video, you can decide for yourself who may view the video. Learn more about this topic in the article "HowTo: Visibilities".
