About 10 days ago we reported some businesses and merchants were seeing video upload features in the Google My Business dashboard. Well, Google’s Allyson Wright announced in a Google My Business Help thread on Friday that this feature is now fully live.
The deal is, as I demonstrated on Friday at Search Engine Land – I uploaded a video to my profile on Friday and according to Google’s own words, the video should be live within 24 hours, but I do not yet see the video on my profile, at least, not a video that I can play either logged in or out, on desktop or mobile.
Go to my business profile and let me know in the photos section if you see a playable video? I see screen shots of some videos but not a playable video. Do you?
Here is how you upload it to Google My Business.
Click on the photos section and then the “videos” and there is a button in the center to upload a video:
Then drag the video on the screen:
It should upload:
It can process and then show up in the section:
My video says it was uploaded three days ago now but yet it still does not show up on my business profile.

Videos will appear in the overview tab of the Google My Business Dashboard
Customer uploaded videos can be found in the ‘customer’ tab
Merchant uploaded videos can be found in the ‘by owner’ tab
All videos can be viewed together in the ‘videos’ tab
After upload it could take up to 24 hours for the videos to appear. Once live, they will display where local photos do.
