LISTING VIDEO ON ZILLOW
Zillow: a listing video for the portal buyers check first
Zillow is where a large share of buyers look at a home before they ever contact an agent, but in most markets an agent does not upload a listing to Zillow directly: the listing, its photos and its media usually arrive through the MLS or brokerage feed, and Zillow then displays what that feed sends under its own rules. Zillow also runs its own media and premium listing products in some markets. So the question of how to add a video to a Zillow listing usually starts with your MLS. ListingVideosAI makes the finished video from your listing photos; check Zillow's and your MLS's current rules on video, and for any format need, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.
ListingVideosAI does not send anything to Zillow; how the finished video reaches a portal depends on your MLS and Zillow's rules.
One listing video uses up to 20 photos.

Preparing a listing video with Zillow in mind
- 01
Choose the photos portal browsers expect
Zillow shoppers compare many homes quickly, so choose the photos they expect to see: the front exterior, living area, kitchen, primary bedroom, bathrooms and the yard. Use photos from the same shoot as the listing gallery for consistency.
- 02
Create the listing and upload your set
Open a listing for the address and add your selection of up to 20 JPEG, PNG or WebP photos, each no larger than 50 MiB.
- 03
Confirm, review, then check the route
Use a credit or buy one video, check the photos and confirm the listing. The finished video comes 24 to 72 hours after you send the listing; review it, then check with your MLS how video media is supplied and whether it carries through to Zillow.
Getting a listing video in front of Zillow shoppers
Because Zillow usually displays what the MLS feed sends, the practical work happens in a few places.
Start with your MLS media fields
Many MLSs have a field for a video or tour link that is passed on to portals. Read your MLS rules on what that field may contain.
Check Zillow's agent tools
Zillow offers tools for listing agents to manage how their listings appear, and the options vary by market and account. Check Zillow's current help pages.
Keep the gallery and the video consistent
Buyers notice if the video shows a different season or condition than the photo gallery. Use photos from the same shoot.
Watch it as a buyer would
Once the listing is live, open it on Zillow on a phone and check how the media appears.
Share the Zillow listing page elsewhere
Many agents send buyers to the portal listing from social posts, alongside their own listing video.
What to know about Zillow and listing media
Listings usually arrive by feed
In most markets Zillow receives listings through MLS or brokerage feeds rather than direct uploads from agents.
Zillow sets its own display rules
What media appears on a Zillow listing, and where, is decided by Zillow's current rules and products.
Premium products vary by market
Zillow offers premium listing and media products in some markets, with their own terms.
Buyers start on portals
Many buyers browse portals like Zillow before contacting an agent, so the listing's media is often their first impression.

What is a Zillow listing video?
A Zillow listing video is a property video shown on a Zillow listing page, usually supplied through the MLS or brokerage feed or through Zillow's own tools. ListingVideosAI makes the finished video from your listing photos; how it reaches Zillow depends on your MLS and Zillow's current rules.
It is not a Zillow product. ListingVideosAI is separate from Zillow and does not supply Zillow's own tour or showcase features.
Zillow questions
How do I add a video to a Zillow listing?
In most markets media reaches Zillow through your MLS or brokerage feed, so start with your MLS's video or tour field and its rules, then check Zillow's current help pages for agent options.

That is Zillow's decision under its current rules, and ListingVideosAI does not promise it. For a specific format need, contact support@listingvideosai.com before ordering.

No. Showcase is Zillow's own premium product in some markets. ListingVideosAI makes a finished listing video from your photos, separate from Zillow's products.
Does ListingVideosAI send the video to Zillow?
No. You receive the finished video for review and use it through your MLS, your brokerage or your own channels.
