Gumtree has recently included a feature that allows users to include videos on their ads. Videos, together with images give the added benefit of accurately showing buyers the condition of an item.

*Please note that videos must be uploaded to a YouTube account first before adding them on Gumtree. YouTube shorts are not supported.

2. Navigate to YouTube  

3. Click on the video icon in the top right-hand corner:


4. You can now drag and drop your video to upload:



5. Complete the Title(required field) and Description

7. Once your video is uploaded, copy the link by clicking on “options” as seen below and then clicking on “Get shareable link”:
