Video review process & content rights

How does the video review process work?

Every video goes through multiple stages of review to ensure it meets content quality standards and program needs. We check if it follows creative guidelines, meets technical requirements, and focuses on the property experience. We also look for trademark issues and make sure the video aligns with Expedia’s brand requirements.

Since the program is still in beta and evolving, always review the latest Video Guidelines before submitting your video.

How long does it take for Expedia Group to review the submitted videos?

During our beta phase, the review process may take 4-6 weeks. Since the process has multiple stages, the time it takes can vary based on your video’s content, style, format, and our evolving program needs.

We appreciate your patience as we actively work to reduce these review times, and we’ll notify you as soon as the review is complete.

Why do some videos take longer to be reviewed than others?

Videos are not always reviewed in the order they are submitted. Some may be processed faster if they don’t pass an early stage, while others take longer for additional checks

What rights does Expedia have to use my content?

While you grant Expedia and other related companies the right to modify your original video and use the content throughout the world in any media, you're also permitted to re-use your original video on other platforms or for other opportunities. Review our terms and conditions for full details.
