You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !veryquickwatch@lemmy.world

Very Quick Watch: Video content 5 minutes and under for when you have a little bit of time to kill.

Rules:

Follow the rules of lemmy.world and your instance.
Be kind and civil. Do not engage trolling and bad behavior, simply report it.
This is an evergreen community. It is designed to be an archive that can be searched at anytime. No reposting is allowed. If an older video is dead or inaccessible, post a working version and tell a moderator which post you are replacing and why. (Some videos may not be viewable in all regions, in that case you should post a working mirror as a comment in the original post.)
Voting is for moderation and visibility, not personal preference. If a post or comment breaks the rules, downvote and report it. If you personally don’t care for what was posted, just move on.
Videos should be in English, or not require any knowledge of the language for an English speaker to understand. Foreign-language videos with English subtitles are allowed.
Preferably, videos are of high production value and should be informative & entertaining. Other kinds of well-produced and thoughtful videos are allowed. Niche interests are allowed if it can be enjoyed by someone who has no previous knowledge of the subject. Music videos are discouraged, there are already plenty of communities for those. If you are unsure, message a moderator.
If a video is a few seconds longer than 5 minutes, it should still be okay. If it approaches 11 minutes, it had better be a very good video. Send the video to a moderator to find out if it can be posted. Videos that are 6 to 10 minutes long should be posted to !quickwatch@lemmy.world.
Comments that expound upon the subject of the video and offer more information are highly encouraged. Comments that link out to long-form content, including longer videos with additional information related to the parent video, are allowed.
