Big Question: What happened to my subscribers?
We’ve received quite a few questions about subscriptions and subscribers. What happened to video subscriptions? Can people still subscribe to videos? How many subscribers do you have?
First the good news:
All your subscriptions were converted to playlists. If you subscribed to someone’s channel on our old site, you’ll find it as a Favorite Playlist, which uses our awesome embeddable playlist functionality. Just look under the My Video dropdown menu, or you can find a link on your profile page.
Now the bug news:
Our subscription numbers are not currently showing. But we are working on it, and hope to have a fix soon. Again, don’t worry, you didn’t lose any subscribers.
We appreciate your patience while we iron out the bugs and continue to add new features.

This new site has no option to turn off “Safe Search”, this is the same as forced censorship which is against the U. S. Constitution. It does not matter if you want it or not it’s still Censorship, next they will be forcing us to view only what they want us to view. Looks like Yahoo needs a class action law suit.

Hey Steven
The new Yahoo! Video shows content exclusively from Yahoo! Video (which includes news, music, creator content and more). Because of that, we don’t have a ‘safe search’ function, on or off. If you’d like to search the whole web for videos, try our Video Search, where you can find any content and have control over the safe search features.

We want to add streaming video to the web site we are planning on designing with in a week or two at the most. What must we do to add streaming video and what is the cost, length of time per teaching, etc.
We are a non-profit 501-c3 business. We teach the Bible and its pertinence for today.
Thanks

You can upload videos and then embed them into your site for free. There is no time limit, but your file size can’t be larger than 150 mb (which is pretty big). All you need to do is open up a Yahoo! account, and start uploading!

What happened to Yahoo Music? I paid for a subscription to listen music, albums of choice with a player which allowed purchase of tracks or whole albums. Now when I log on, I only get news and radio services. I paid 129 bucks + for a year. But the site or player doesn’t come up anywhere when searched in yahoo, it doesn’t come up anywhere at all…
