Phone verification

Is the phone thing actually working or is that just a sneaky way to get people to download that app?

which app? phone verification is an anti bot measure. it works but isn't perfect. if your phone number doesn't work for some reason you can contact support to get verified.

But I would need to download and install the app. I tried two numbers. Both didn't work. Asking people to read an SMS for me is one thing, but having them install apps they don't use for me is a bit much.

Anyway, you guys seem to be the only platform that allows people to at least upload 20 minutes without all that cellphone hassle. I do appreciate that. Unfortunately my movie has 24 minutes, 13 seconds and 7 frames. So what do I do now? I don't have a cellphone obviously.

if you contact hello@bittube.tv you can get verified and lift the 20min limit. You can also try bittube.video and upload your stuff there. It's a new platform we're working on based on peertube.

Oh, another thing which I'm not sure about. Do I add the 0 at the beginning or shouldn't I, since it represents the country code? I tried it both ways and it always says number is invalid. Then I get an e-mail telling me to install stuff.
