Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does this cost anything?
YouTube, Steemit.com, and Steemir are completely free; as you probably know, Steemit.com users generate income by posting content; the money comes from network usage, and there are no hidden fees. However, 25% of any profits you make from earnings from videos uploaded with Steemir to Steemit.com will go to help fund Steemir. If you don't earn anything, you don't pay anything!
Invite your friends to get onboard Steemir, and for each one that installs Steemir we'll give you 5% more of the profit per video, up to 20% total, reducing the amount Steemir gets to 5%. Your friends will also receive 5% more per video, for signing up with your referral link. You can find your personal referral link in the settings on the Steemir Chrome extension or go directly to referrals.
Or if you really enjoy Steemir and you feel like leaving a 5 star review on Steemir on the Chrome Extension site , please send us a link to that review , and once verified, we'll send you a code to immediately receive the 20% total for your steem account!
2. How fast can I upload YouTube videos?
You can upload as many videos as fast as YouTube normally allows, but you can only post one video to Steemit.com every 5 minutes. Steemir does show a counter that shows how much time you need to wait if you want the video to post to Steemit.com also.
3. Can I use Steemir to post my older YouTube videos too?
Not yet, but we are working on it! We are also working on adding scheduling that hooks into YouTube's video scheduling!
4. Are my videos decentralized?
Not yet! Currently only the link to your YouTube video is sent to the Steem blockchain, but that feature is currently in the works too, of getting a full backup of your video in a decentralized location using IPFS and/or WebTorrent technologies, including also connecting to BitChute. Connecting to DTube is also a possibility but I have spoken with @heimindanger and he is not interested in connecting it up just yet, as he is already charging 25% per video.
5. Can you add new features?
Yes, if you have ideas for improvement or new features, please send them to [email protected] . Many new features are already in the works, and you will be seeing them in future updates.
Support
If in case you find bugs or problems, or need technical assistance, you can search our knowledge base or open a support ticket, and someone will get back to you very quickly.
Long Term Goals
It would be great to ultimately not have to use YouTube in the future, and migrate over to decentralized video services such as BitChute.com, Dtube.video, Minds.com and vid.me. Much like the early travelers to the Americas, leaving their homelands to escape oppressive governments, Steemir aims to ferry people over to the freer new platforms in comfort and style!
I held off adding more features just yet, as I didn't want the extension to be too confusing for newcomers. YouTubers that have never heard of Steemit.com may be overwhelmed enough, without introducing new concepts such as decentralized video, and BitChute and DTube.
Please leave any comments for improvements below, or on our website, https://steemir.com
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it!

This is amazing work! In the age of user-friendly, automating video posting for Youtubers is a great thing.
Bravo!
This sounds really cool. Small YouTubers could use this as YouTube put a rule in place that channels can't be monetized without 10K channel views
That is a very good point!
👌🏼
Don't forget the big guys too. They are losing so much money from YouTube de-monetizing them

STOPWonderful idea old sport!
Made you a listing on Steemtools.com, next time you should use #steemdev too for your updates
Fantastic, thank you! Thanks for the tip, I didn't know about hashtag steemdev... fantastic!
This sounds like a great idea to help people get away from the spying and censorship of Google and Youtube, onto Steemit. Thanks for posting!
👌🏼
Thats a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I like those types of integrations... especially when it come to Steemit 👍
Really nice! More tools for Steemit is always good. Upped and re-steemed for vissibility, good work!
Good job. interesting extension
The only issue I see with this comes from an idea that Dan Dicks of @PressForTruth had... If all of us folks who have somewhat controversial views leave YouTube, then it will be even more of an echo chamber there where all the buzzword using lefties (bigot, islamophobe, homophobe, xenophobe etc.) will get to run their mouths unopposed! However much I think YouTube and Google and the rest of the evil scum of Alphabet Inc. should go down and rot in hell with all of the idiots they continue to support. I think it would be better to continue to post videos showing them that, however much they keep telling us "you're on the wrong side of history," They, in fact, are the ones on the "wrong side of history."We need to destroy them with ideas, since that's what they're trying to censor!
This is incredible, cant wait to try it!
Nice idea!
I will try it for sure
Thank you!
wow! This is cool !!!!!!
as a social media platform this is a good addition tools for steemers. it could help boost the community and constant development of tools means we are able to compete with the major social media platforms like facebook, twitter etc.
i love this, thank you very much for sharing. i'm doing it right away

Great work on this Chrome Extension. This makes incorporating YouTube video nearly effortless. Until the time when Steemit incorporates video creation directly into the platform, this is an excellent work around. Thanks for sharing
I must Say "WOW"!
That's a great idea to share our youtube videos on steemit.
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
As a startup youtuber, I totally love the idea! However I'm really paranoid about security, especially with chrome extensions. Is there any way to implement a 2FA? Or plans to in some way to beef up security in future versions?
Wow ,,. !!!
this is very good post, guys ,,. (Y)
good job ,,.,. !!
Thanks for this great information...Does the Steemir extension work with videos that already accept adds?
Thank you! Steemir doesn't interfere with any other YouTube monetizations you may be using, it is completely transparent. Plus, you can monetize even if you don't have the required 10,000 views that YouTube requires.
As a YouTuber, I really appreciate this great work. Hopefully other features will appear ASAP, to make it easier and provide many options to work for steemians. Nice!
Thank you! New features are in the works, and I'll post new articles for new releases!
I'm really new to Steemit, so I really appreciate info like this. Thanks so much!
Thank you! You are very welcome!
Veri nice 😉
