METACAFE issue - videos appear to be inactive


Are you facing an issue where your videos look to be ‘Inactive’ after successfull upload on Metacafe?
Don’t worry. Not an issue.
Once you successfully upload your video, it takes some minutes or sometimes even 20 minutes for the processing where your video is scanned by Metacafe programs to check for any copyrights, etc. Once processing is completed, you can add custom thumbnail and edit names of your video while your video is inactive.
Your videos are reviewed manually by Metacafe team for a number of things from titles, description, video content, etc. This takes time as Metacafe has its own process and does not have everything advanced like Youtube so be a little patient. It sometimes even takes 1 full week to make your video active and sometimes just few minutes.
Eg. I uploaded a video with title ‘Dawood: The Untold story’ and Metacafe making the video active after 1 day, they changed the title to ‘Daw*od: The Untold story’
Don’t panick if you see your videos ‘Inactive’ for a long time. You can always contact their support team.

    1. 'Inactive' means the metacafe team is yet to review your video, video title, keywords put in, etc. And if all that is ok then they turn it to 'Active' state
