Lesser known is the video portion of the website. Uploading videos is limited to Flickr pro members currently but everyone – even guests – are allowed to watch them on the Flickr website providing the owner of the video configured them that way.

Flickr Video Browser is an external tool that provides access to public Flickr Videos in an easy to use interface. It displays thumbnails of 100 Flickr videos on each page which get updated regularly from public Flickr video listings.

A click on a thumbnails opens the video on the exact same page in an overlay providing options to view the video or explore the tags of it. A click on a tag loads all videos tagged the same way on the Flickr Video Browser homepage.

Overall the controls currently offered are pretty basic. There is no search option and no way to browser tags which are two of the features that should be implemented as soon as possible to make the process user friendly.
