Clips is Officially Live: Bring Short-Form Video to Your Community

Your members are already consuming short-form video every day. The question is: are they doing it inside your community or somewhere else?

We heard your feedback.

Today, we’re excited to officially introduce Clips — a new short-form video experience built for phpFox communities. Clips makes it easy for members to create, discover, and share short videos, keeping them on your site longer and coming back more often.

TRY DEMO

And to celebrate launch day with you, we have a little something waiting at the end of this post. 🎁

Meet Clips — Here’s What Your Community Will Get:

1. Vertical Video Experience

Deliver content in a format your members already love. Full-screen vertical videos make it easier to capture attention and encourage longer content consumption.

Keep discovery effortless with a familiar swipe-to-watch experience. Members can seamlessly browse from one clip to the next, creating a smooth and engaging viewing experience.

3. Suggested & Following Feeds

Help users find the content that matters most. Members can discover the latest videos through the All clips feed or stay connected with people they follow through the Following feed.

Turn passive viewers into active participants. With quick engagement actions built into every clip, conversations happen naturally around the content your community creates.

5. Built for Community Growth

Give your community members a dedicated space to share ideas, updates, tutorials, and stories. The easier it is to create content, the more vibrant and active your community becomes.
