You already know the Creative Content program, which gives greater exposure to Dailymotion’s creative users whether they’re filmmakers, reporters, musicians, entertainers, extreme athletes, or unclassifiable talents.

With more than 3000 MotionMakers registered, tens of thousands of Creative Content uploads, and over 90 million views, success and recognition are coming together, thanks to your creativity.

Today we have launched a parallel program called “Official Content“, this time designed for professionals, businesses, and non-profits.

Record labels, studios and production houses, media outlets, TV channels, sports leagues, political parties - all are using Dailymotion more and more to promote their videos.

As a professional content producer, your account is free from upload limits so that you can share as much of your work as you like with with the Dailymotion community. Get your content out there, follow its audience, test the community reaction and interact with your viewers.

Official Content” videos benefit from increased visibility within the site. Their thumbnail frame makes them stand out from the rest of the content, and they may be featured on the homepage by our editoral team.

To join the program or learn more about it, please visit our page, “Become an Official User.”
