#### Media will be in the encoding queue

|
#### Add Metadata (Summary, Description etc.)
|
|
|
|
Make sure you fill in all the required fields, and try to complete as many of the non-required fields as possible. This ensures the database is populated with useful meta-data to help others access useful information about you and your video.

### Using Timestamp in the comments
|
|

Comments can also include timestamps. They are automatically detected upon posting the comment, and will be in the form of an hyperlink link in the comment. The timestamps in the comments have to follow the format HH:MM:SS or MM:SS

## Mentionning users in comments
|
|
|
|
Comments can also mention other users by tagging with '@'. This will open suggestion box showing usernames, and the selection will refine as the user continues typing.
|
|
|

Comments send with mentions will contain a link to the user page, and can be setup to send a mail to the mentionned user.

Only comments with correct timestamps formats (HH:MM:SS or MM:SS) will be picked up and appear in the Timebar.
