Payouts and rights, spelled out
Stripe Connect payouts
Complete onboarding once. When a bounty owner accepts your submission, payment is processed through Stripe Connect.
You keep copyright
You own your footage. POV licenses it to the requester under terms shown before you submit.
Capture metadata included
In-app recording attaches GPS, heading, and timestamp so buyers know where and when the clip was filmed.
Payout timing depends on Stripe and your bank. POV does not guarantee a minimum payment or a specific bounty amount.
How it works
Find a bounty on the map
Open pov.live and browse requests pinned near you. Each bounty shows what the requester needs and what they are offering.
Film in the POV app
Record in-app so capture metadata stays attached. No camera-roll uploads for bounty submissions.
Get paid when accepted
If the requester accepts your clip, payment flows to your connected Stripe account. You can also list eligible clips on the marketplace.
