Community guidelines for comment sections

If you enable comments, moderate harassment and spam quickly. Disabled comments with a “contact” link are valid for small teams that cannot moderate 24/7.

Link your rules next to the submit button, not buried in Terms.

VBR saves space by spending bits on complex scenes. Average bitrate labels can mislead; peak bitrate warnings help editors avoid broadcast rejections.

Casual viewers rarely care—surface this in advanced export panels only.

Why some videos lack 1080p on certain accounts

Premium-only streams, device caps, and studio rules interact in ways users do not see. Your UI should avoid blaming the user when the platform simply never exposed a tier.
