Why can't I see a video?
If you are not a member of the AAOS you will need to purchase a subscription to OVT Plus to see the OVT Plus collection and other select videos.

If you are a member of the AAOS you may need to:

• refresh the page (this is usually done by pressing F5)
• try an alternate browser such as Chrome or Edge
• check that the internet is working correctly on the affected machine
• Flash is required for all versions of Internet Explorer except for Edge
• check with your institution to determine if you have a firewall blocking the video data, a web proxy interrupting the connection or filtering traffic, filtering software, or a general network failure.

Do I have to complete the entire upload submission application in one session?
You may save and resume the application where you left off. Find your saved applications on the My Videos page which can be accessed from the My Account menu (icon on top right of page).

My video file will not upload.
Check the file size and format. The maximum file size is 2 GB, and the following formats accepted: mov., mpeg4, avi, .wmv and .mp4. If file size and format are not issues, please try another browser, computer, or internet connection.

When will my OVT Now video be live?

What is the difference between OVT Plus videos and OVT User-Submitted videos?
OVT Plus video submissions undergo an extensive peer review by experts in the specialty area. Acceptance into the collection comes with benefits, including presentation at the Annual Meeting, opportunity for award-winning designation, video abstract inclusion in JAAOS, and availability to include the published video on your C.V.

OVT Now video submissions offer you a chance to share your latest surgical techniques with a quick peer review and posting to the site. This is the fastest way for you to share your video and for colleagues to access and discover your work. OVT Now Content Guidelines are available for your reference.

Who can see my video(s)?
AAOS members from around the globe will view the work you share on OVT. Non-members may purchase a subscription to the OVT site and enjoy the content.

Why is my video under review?
A video can be flagged for various reasons: Unsafe technique, patient identifier, poor video/audio quality, commercialism and author bias. Your video will be reviewed by committee members. Please contact OVTAdmin@aaos.org for specific information regarding your video.

What is the difference between learn.aaos.org and video.aaos.org?
learn.aaos.org only shows the OVT Plus collection, 700 titles and offers CME Credit for over 200 videos. OVT provides more content from multiple categories, opportunities to engage and an environment build specifically for video streaming.

Can videos be downloaded to my computer?
