Video in phpBB

Video in phpBB

phpBB is very powerful forum engine. You can create multiple forums, moderate the users’ discussions and much more. And you should also make it video capable with Bubblecast video MOD for phpBB. In terms of feature it’s very similar to Wordpress plugin, you and the forum’s users can add video to the topics, send video in private messages and so on.

Forum is more discussion driven than blog. You create topics, post questions or tell your opinion on something  and want people to answer. This means that forum is naturally designed for User Generated Content. When you’ve got some particular question and google for answer most probably you’ll find similar question at some forum with answers from different people. If we add video to the forum it becomes even more useful.

For example, you are a newbie snowboarder and you google for tips how to ride the snowboard without falling every minute. You find a forum topic called “Tips for snowboard dummies” where various people who think they’re good snowboarders answer how to place feet on the board and so on to ride better. They recorded a video tutorial (forum is phpBB with Bubblecast video MOD for sure :)   and posted it to the thread. Other people also added their video how they showbard.  You found very useful resource and can now start learning. When you feel you’re good enough you record your own video and post it back.

Now think that this kind of forum is very good for selling snowboarding equipment, because it has gathered the target audience interested in buying snowboarding stuff.  You can setup your own  phpBB with Bubblecast video MOD and start making money.  Again we aim our service to some commercial use but you can also post videos for your pleasure.
