How to use DTube

Logging in

  1. Enter your STEEM username 2) Enter your Private Posting Key, you can find it like so:


Youtube and Facebook have this amazing feature that you can easily have multiple channels linked to your account and switch between them easily. I am sure I am not the only user on STEEM who owns multiple accounts, and having to use different browsers or bots to upvote with all accounts gets boring very quickly. On DTube, you can log in with as many accounts as you want, and switch between them.
I don't know why SteemIt still doesn't have this feature.

Settings


DTube features a settings menu accessible from anywhere in the app. It allows you to adjust your voting power, filter NSFW contents similarly to SteemIt.com, and tune the IPFS Settings. IPFS Gateway is where the files are loaded from, while the API is what we use for uploading.

Uploading


First, you need to be logged-in to be able to access the upload page. Then just simply add a video, a snap (aka thumbnail), and finally fill the texts for the blockchain and submit!
If all goes well, you should be taken to your video after submitting and it should start playing the video between 0 and 30 seconds depending on the gateway and your connection speed.

Browsing Videos

There are currently 3 main ways to discover contents on DTube. You can go to the homepage and discover the NEW , HOT and TRENDING categories. They work the same as SteemIt. You can access a certain user's channel by going directly to https://dtube.video/c/curator for my testing account for example. Finally, you can use the search in the top bar, more information on that later in the article.

Thanks for your guide! Well done.

Hey,
Nice guide! Do you know why my videos on dtube are not showing up in the search? Is there anything that you have to do to become visible?!
