Introducing Humzoo Video
The day is finally here. We've teased you long enough.
Today we are introducing a brand new feature called Humzoo Video. Now each member on Humzoo has the capability to share videos through their web site. Videos offer an enriched, live experience that doesn’t exist with blogs or photos.
Uploading Videos
Uploading videos has never been easier than with Humzoo Video. With two simple steps, and a brief conversion period, you'll be sharing videos with friends and family in no time. The uploader has a built-in progress bar so that you can tell how much of your video has been uploaded.
Notifications
We have modified our notification system to let you know when your video is ready to watch. When your video has completed processing, you will see a blue note across the top of your screen, just above our header. You can choose to click on the link to watch your video or ignore the message.
Enhanced Features
On the front page you will now see a rotating panel of the latest blog, photos and video. A new Videos column has been added to several sections of the Community and your Favorites have been moved to your Account Settings page to make room for videos.
To accommodate for the overwhelming amount of content that is added to Humzoo each day we have paginated the Community to allow visitors to go back in time to see what they missed.
Getting Here
Adding video sharing capabilities to Humzoo was part of the plan from the beginning. We knew a lot had to happen before this day would come so we launched Humzoo without it. We are very proud to have accomplished such a tremendous undertaking and feel that we have the best video service available. Did we mention that it's free? Now let's make some videos!

Nice work guys - congrats on the launch.
And EyePulp, I don't have any cat videos because I don't have a video camera. But if someone were to get me one I'd be happy to share with the world footage of the kitties wrestling.
Great job, guys. I know you put in some long hours and missed a lot of family time for this one. We do appreciate the effort and will try to make good use of it and keep a smile on our face for what we have received!
Edit: Magically, I leave a comment saying it doesn't work and all of a sudden it works...You guys must be amazing!!
Kidding aside, we will be fixing up any issues that we can repeat as soon as possible. I have not noticed the issue Mrs. Shoo and George mentioned, but I'll keep my eyes open for it.
I am not clear on the issue yet. Sounds like the video was ready (you get the blue bar notification and can see the player) but the video didn't play correctly? Is that what's happening?

thanks Keep up the good work.
That might help us to try and replicate the problem. I'll make Denny purchase and set up a system identical to yours. Then he will sell it in craigslist.
