How to Add Video or Virtual Tour to the MLS

Wondering if you can upload a video to MLS? Learn how FSBO sellers can add unbranded YouTube, Vimeo, or Matterport virtual tour links with Brokerless.

๐Ÿ“น Why Add Video or Virtual Tours?

Buyers want more than photos โ€” they want to see how a home flows. A video or virtual tour helps your property stand out in search results and can lead to faster offers.

โœ… Can You Upload a Video Directly to the MLS?

No. MLS systems do not allow raw video files (like .mp4 or .mov). Instead, you provide a virtual tour link to your hosted video or 3D tour.

๐Ÿ”— What Types of Virtual Tours Are Accepted?

  • โœ… Unbranded YouTube or Vimeo links
  • โœ… Matterport 3D tours
  • โœ… Property websites created with tour software

Unbranded versions syndicate to Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, and Redfin. Branded tours with logos or contact info are usually restricted to agent-only MLS fields.
