About

YourStoryz Light is a mobile app to crowdsource authentic, high-quality stories right from your audience. Whether it’s event goers, fans, customers, or citizen reporters — no login is needed. Contributors simply scan a QR code or follow a link, and can immediately upload their photos or short videos directly from their phone.

This lightweight app is tailored for fast, user-generated content, enabling you to gather real stories in real time. There’s no editor on the phone — media goes directly into your workflows, preserving authenticity.

On the dashboard, everything stays organized and efficient. You can manage both the Light and Full versions of YourStoryz side by side, with structured storage for media files, transcoded video ready in 1080p, and full access to metadata. YourStoryz Integration is seamless — publish to CMS systems like WordPress, send content to your newsroom, or feed it into MAM, DAM, or post-production suites like Adobe or Avid.
