Video Signals and translated captions

A Video Signal gives curators the opportunity to watch your message directly while reviewing your track. Think of it as a short, personal introduction that helps explain your song, why it may be a good fit, and what you would like the curator to consider.

What to Include in Your Video Signal

Your video can include:

• A brief introduction to who you are as an artist
• Background information or a short story about the song
• Why you believe the track fits the playlist or bundle
• A clear call to action, such as asking the playlister to listen, consider the track for placement, or share their feedback

You can record one default video to reuse across your pitches, or create a custom video tailored to a specific playlist. A custom video can be especially helpful when you want to explain why your track is relevant to that particular curator or playlist.

Translated Captions

Closed captions are fully supported to help bridge language barriers. Captions can also be translated automatically based on the curator’s preferred language, making it easier for your message to be understood.

Best Practices for Your Video

Keep it brief and clear: Aim for a short, focused message and speak clearly so the closed captions can track your words accurately.

Make it personal: Explain why your track fits the specific playlist instead of relying on an overly scripted or generic pitch.

Give the curator helpful context: Share the most important details about the song, its story, mood, or audience without trying to explain everything at once.

End with a clear call to action: Let the curator know what you would like them to do after watching your video, whether that is listening closely, considering the track for placement, or reviewing it for a specific playlist.
