In today’s fast-paced real estate market, video marketing isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. Buyers crave immersive experiences, and video brings your listings to life in ways photos alone simply can’t. But here’s the challenge: not all MLS systems make it obvious how to upload videos — and some have strict rules that can limit your options.
This guide will walk you through exactly how to upload videos to your MLS listing, what types of videos work best, and how to optimize them for maximum engagement. 🚀
According to the National Association of Realtors, listings with video receive 403% more inquiries than those without. That’s a huge advantage!

Once your MLS listing goes live, your video will often automatically appear on partnered sites like:
Each platform displays videos differently. For example, Zillow features them under the “Virtual Tour” or “Video” tab.
If you’re already using virtual tour platforms like CloudPano, you can also embed 360° videos or interactive walkthroughs in your MLS listing for even greater engagement.
Uploading videos to your MLS listing is a simple step that can dramatically increase buyer engagement. Whether you choose direct uploads or external links, the key is high-quality, compliant, and compelling content.
With the right approach, your listings will stand out in the feed, attract more views, and convert more buyers. 🎯
