VideoCup is a place for short videos, up to 90 seconds, that exist only while people are watching them.
Nobody keeps an archive. When you watch a video, your device keeps a copy for as long as the page is open and passes it on to the next people who want to see it. Every viewer helps carry it.
The server a video is listed on may also hold a copy, to keep it going while it finds an audience, but never past the video's end time.
When the last copy is closed, whether it was a viewer's, the creator's or a server's, the video is gone for good. Every video also has an end time its creator picked, at most seven days away. When that comes, every copy is deleted at the same moment, and nobody, not even the creator, can bring it back.
So a video survives only while someone keeps it going, and never past its end time.
"Watching" is how many people are holding a copy right now. Open a video to see a graph of how its audience grew and shrank over its life.
Trending shows the videos with the most people watching, from channels this page's moderators have approved. Follow a channel to see what it has live under Your network.
