If you've previously uploaded a video anonymously but now wish to link it to your FilmStadt account, we offer a straightforward process for doing so. This guide will walk you through the steps to migrate your anonymously uploaded video and claim ownership on your account.

Step 1: Accessing the Migration Feature To begin, log in to your FilmStadt account and navigate to the video you wish to link.

Step 2: Providing Ownership Verification When prompted to migrate or claim ownership of the video, you'll need to provide ownership verification. FilmStadt offers several verification options, including:

• IP Address: If you uploaded the video from a known IP address associated with your account, you can select this option for verification. (automatic check)
• Verification Code: Alternatively, you can paste the Verification Code in your original video description from e.g. YouTube. (manual check by FilmStadt moderation)

Step 3: Linking to Your Account After selecting your preferred verification method, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the migration process. This typically involves pasting the video link and providing the necessary verification details. Once verified, the video will be linked to your FilmStadt account, and you'll be recognized as the author.

Step 4: Confirming Ownership Once the migration process is complete, take a moment to verify that the video is now linked to your FilmStadt account correctly. You should see your username or profile associated with the video, indicating that you are the author.

Step 5: Enjoy Your Linked Video With your video now properly attributed to you on FilmStadt, you can enjoy the benefits of having it connected to your account. This includes increased visibility, engagement, and recognition within the FilmStadt community.
