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.
📹 Why Add Video or Virtual Tours?
Buyers want more than photos — 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.
✅ 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.
🔗 What Types of Virtual Tours Are Accepted?
- ✅ Unbranded YouTube or Vimeo links
- ✅ Matterport 3D tours
- ✅ 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.
