Third-Party Content Disclaimer & DMCA Safe Harbor

Video Content & Copyright Protection

Video Upload Guidelines: Please only upload videos you created or have permission to share. Don't upload full movies, TV shows, or other copyrighted content. We want to foster a creative community while respecting copyright holders.

Music in Videos: Please use royalty-free or properly licensed music in your videos. We may need to mute or remove videos with copyrighted audio to comply with copyright laws.

Notice and Takedown Process: We operate a notice-and-takedown system in compliance with DMCA. We expeditiously remove reported content upon receiving valid notices. Rights holders can request removal of their content at any time through our DMCA process.

Trust & Safety

We work hard to keep Dmooji safe and enjoyable for everyone. We take the following seriously:

Unique to Dmooji: Video + AI Companions

Watch Together: Dmooji's special feature lets you watch videos with AI companions who can chat and react alongside you. This creates a unique shared viewing experience.
