Not all methods of adding videos to your account will count against your weekly quota, video usage, or total storage allowance. Which allowance type you have varies depending on which plan your account is on. This article will outline which types of video content count towards the video limit and what does not depending on what type of storage allowance your plan has.
You can verify how your account measures video limitations by checking your account settings or the tracker in the lower left-hand corner of your library.
