Bideo App Features: The Complete Guide for 2026
Every Bideo App feature in one place — Shorts, long videos, stories, community posts, chat, playlists, coins, boosts, the verified badge, the leaderboard and creator earnings.
Bideo App packs a lot into one place. This guide walks through every major feature so you know exactly what you can do — as a viewer and as a creator.
The main tabs
At the bottom of the app you'll find five tabs:
| Tab | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Home | A feed of videos and shorts picked for you |
| Shorts | A full-screen, swipeable feed of short videos |
| Upload (+) | Upload a short, a long video or a community post |
| Followings | New content from creators you follow |
| Library | Your channel, playlists, history and liked videos |
Shorts
Shorts are vertical (9:16) videos of up to 60 seconds. Swipe up for the next one. Shorts are the fastest way for new creators to be discovered — see how to go viral on Bideo.
Long videos
Upload standard landscape or portrait videos (up to 1080p, MP4 or MOV) for tutorials, vlogs, reviews, music and more. Add a clear title, tags and a thumbnail so people find them.
Stories
Share a photo or video story that disappears after 24 hours. Your followers see it at the top of their feed. Learn more in the stories and community posts guide.
Community posts
Post a text or image update to your followers — announcements, polls in text, behind-the-scenes photos. You can share one community post per day.
Chat and groups
Send messages to other users, share videos directly in chat, and create group chats. New conversations start as message requests that the other person can accept. See the chat guide.
Playlists, history and liked videos
Save videos into playlists, see what you watched in History, and find everything you liked in Liked videos — all in the Library tab. Details: playlists and history guide.
Coins, boosts and the verified badge

- Verified badge — a blue check for your channel. Verified badge guide.
