Introduction
The Video Upload Extension for WP Voting Contest is an add-on for the WP Voting Contest plugin that allows contestants to upload their own videos to a contest. The videos are then processed on the website and can be optionally uploaded to a YouTube account to save on bandwidth while preserving the original video on the server.
In the core version of the WordPress Voting Contest plugin, you have the option to allow contestants to enter your video contest and post their videos using embed code, YouTube URL or Vimeo URL. However, with this extension, contestants can capture video with their mobile device and upload the videos directly from their mobile device to your video contest.
This extension provides a cost-effective way of offering this type of service without the need for an expensive server setup that supports FFMPEG for converting videos to a web-friendly format. In order to use this extension, the core WP Voting Contest 5.0+ must be installed and activated.
