Written by Joelly See Toh

If a guest sends a video message through Airbnb, the video will also be available in AirHost.

The video is displayed as an MP4 URL. Simply click the URL to view the video.


Video Storage

The video URL generated by Airbnb expires after 24 hours. To ensure continued access, AirHost automatically downloads and stores the video.

Video Retention Period

Video files are retained for the following periods:

  • Checked-out reservations: 3 months from the check-out date

  • Cancelled reservations: 30 days from the cancellation date

After the retention period expires, the video is automatically deleted.

After the Retention Period

Once the video has been deleted, it can no longer be played. Instead, "No longer available" will be displayed.
