Bideo Community Guidelines and Copyright Rules Explained Simply
A plain-language explanation of Bideo's community guidelines and copyright rules — what you can and can't post, how to avoid removals, and what happens after violations.
Bideo's rules exist to keep the platform safe, fair and enjoyable. Here's what they mean in plain language, so you can create confidently. (The full, official rules are on the Community Guidelines and Copyright Policy pages.)
What you can post
- Your own original videos, shorts, stories and posts
- Content you have permission to use
- Commentary, reviews and reactions that add your own value
- Creative, educational, entertaining and cultural content in any language
What's not allowed
- Nudity and sexual content, and any content that sexualises minors
- Hate speech against any religion, caste, gender, region or community
- Harassment and bullying
- Dangerous acts that could cause harm
- Scams, fraud and misleading claims
- Spam and fake engagement — fake views, followers or likes
- Copyright violations — re-uploaded TV shows, movie clips or other creators' videos
Copyright made simple
- Film your own clips. It's the safest way.
- Don't re-upload other people's videos, TV shows or films.
