To get on OFTV, sign up at the OFTV Content Dashboard with the email address of the OnlyFans creator who owns the videos, set up a channel, then submit horizontal, safe-for-work videos that run at least two minutes and are delivered in 1080p or better. OFTV is curated, so each submission is a request to be featured rather than an upload that goes live by itself, and the OnlyFans account linked to your channel has to meet the same safe-for-work standard as the videos you send.
This guide covers the creator side only: what the dashboard asks for, the standards it applies, what happens after you press submit, and the rights you hand over. For the viewer's side, OnlyFans' own What Is OFTV? explainer says the service is free to watch, ad-free and needs no subscription. Everything below was read on 1 October 2026.
Check the two gates before you film anything
The first gate is membership. The guidelines shown inside the dashboard state that OFTV is exclusively for OnlyFans creators, so you need an OnlyFans account to be featured. If you have not opened one yet, our guide on how to start an OnlyFans page walks through the creator sign-up and verification steps first.
The second gate is the one that surprises people. The same guidelines say the OnlyFans account associated with your OFTV channel must meet OFTV's safe-for-work standard, meaning that account contains no nudity or explicit content. The rule looks at your whole OnlyFans page, not only the video you upload, and the guidelines describe no exceptions. If you are unsure whether your page qualifies, ask OFTV before you spend money on production rather than after a decline.
The OFTV Terms of Service add the general conditions. OFTV is run by OF Media Productions Limited, a company registered in England and Wales, and to use it you must be at least 18, able to enter a binding contract where you live, and never previously removed or banned by OF Media or the affiliates the terms name, Fenix International Limited and Fenix Internet LLC, the companies behind OnlyFans. On that wording, a past ban from OnlyFans also rules you out of OFTV.
Set up your channel in the Content Dashboard
The dashboard sign-up page asks for the email address of the creator who owns the content, sends a verification email, and then opens a channel details form. These are the fields the form asks for, with the limits it prints next to each one.
| Channel field | What the form asks for | What to prepare | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| OnlyFans username | Your public OnlyFans username | The handle exactly as it appears on your profile, so reviewers can match the two accounts | OFTV Content Dashboard |
| Channel name | The name viewers see on OFTV, up to 30 characters; the form checks whether it is available | A show name and one fallback in case the first is taken | Content Dashboard channel form |
| Channel description | A detailed description of the content you create, up to 700 characters | What the show is, who it is for and how often new episodes arrive | Content Dashboard channel form |
| Channel banner | 1920 by 1080 pixels, 16:9, up to 25MB, JPG, PNG or WEBP | Artwork that still reads on a television, since OFTV ships apps for smart TVs and streaming boxes | Content Dashboard channel form; device list on of.tv |
| Profile picture | 200 by 200 pixels, 1:1, up to 25MB, JPG, PNG or WEBP | The same face or logo you use on your other channels | Content Dashboard channel form |
| Social media accounts | At least one public social account, used to verify your identity; not shared unless you select “Promote my account” | A public profile that clearly belongs to you, and a decision on whether you want it shown to viewers | Content Dashboard channel form |
The video standard OFTV reviews against
The guidelines open by saying OFTV is a curated platform, that all content must meet minimum quality and safe-for-work standards, and that OFTV reserves the right to decline anything that falls short. The specific rules are below, with a pre-export check for each.
| Area | OFTV's rule | Check before you export | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resolution | At least 1080p; 4K preferred | The export preset, not only the camera setting | Dashboard guidelines |
| Orientation | Landscape in standard 16:9 widescreen; vertical video is not accepted | Phone footage was filmed sideways from the start | Dashboard guidelines |
| Length and size | At least 2:00 long; no upper limit on length; files no larger than 25 GB | Running time and file size of the final master | Dashboard guidelines |
| Structure | A clear beginning, middle and end; the video should tell a story, teach a lesson or show a performance | You can name the three beats in one sentence each | Dashboard guidelines |
| Picture | Significant camera or audio problems may lead to a decline; avoid over- or under-exposed footage | Faces are lit evenly and nothing important is lost in shadow | Dashboard guidelines |
| Sound | Audio generally between -16 and -6 decibels throughout; background music never louder than dialogue | Watch the level meter across the whole timeline, not just the opening | Dashboard guidelines |
| Export quality | Do not compress or reduce the quality of the file when exporting | You are uploading the master, not a social-media copy | Dashboard guidelines |
| Music | No copyrighted music; the terms make you responsible for any royalties or licence fees for music you include | Every track is original or covered by a licence you can show | Dashboard guidelines; OFTV Terms, section 3.4 |
| Brands | Videos with an advertisement or excessive product placement may be declined | Products appear because the episode needs them, not as a paid segment | Dashboard guidelines |
| People on screen | Guests must have agreed to be recorded and posted; nobody under 18 may appear | A signed release for each guest, stored with the project files | Dashboard guidelines; OFTV Terms, section 5.2 |
| Content line | Safe for work: no nudity, implied nudity or sexually explicit content | The thumbnail, title and description pass the same test as the video | Dashboard guidelines; OFTV Terms, section 5.2 |
Two rules account for most of the work. The horizontal requirement means short vertical clips made for other apps cannot simply be reused, so plan OFTV episodes as their own shoot; our video filming guide covers framing and lighting, and the equipment guide covers microphones for the audio standard. The music rule is the other: if you are used to adding a popular track in an editing app, read our explainer on copyrighted music in creator videos before you choose a soundtrack.
Fill in the video submission form
Once the channel exists, each video goes through its own form. The dashboard prints these limits and prompts beside the fields.
| Form step | What the dashboard says | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Video title | Up to 40 characters | Dashboard submission form |
| Video description | Up to 700 characters describing the video's content | Dashboard submission form |
| Video file link | A public link to the file on a supported cloud storage service that opens without a login; the example placeholder is a Google Drive link, and a link that is not public delays or ends the request | Dashboard submission form |
| Thumbnail | 1920 by 1080 pixels, 16:9, up to 25MB, JPG, PNG or WEBP, saved with the crop confirmation button | Dashboard submission form |
| Rights confirmation | You certify you own the video or have permission to upload it, and grant OFTV rights to use it across all platforms and media for promotional purposes | Dashboard submission form |
| Terms acceptance | The latest Terms of Service must be accepted before a video can be submitted | Dashboard submission form |
| Publish date | “ASAP”, with a note to allow up to 3 business days for publication, or a scheduled date you pick | Dashboard submission form |
Write the title last, once you know the episode's hook; a structure template such as our YouTube script template usually hands you the clearest one.
What happens after you press submit
The dashboard explains that a video under review is not visible to the public and that you will be notified when it is approved, denied or needs changes. Each video then carries a status in the dashboard, such as draft, under review, edit required, resubmitted, scheduled, published or declined, and a declined video shows the reason. When several videos need edits, the form offers a “Submit & Fix Next” button that moves you straight to the next one.
OFTV publishes no review deadline. The only timing on the form is the publish-date note quoted above, which is about publication rather than review, so do not tie a launch or a collaboration to a fixed OFTV date. If a video comes back as edit required, treat the stated reason as your brief: fix it, recheck the requirements table, and resubmit rather than starting a fresh entry.
The rights you grant when a video goes in
Read section 3 of the OFTV terms before your first upload, because it sets out what OFTV can do with your work. By submitting, you confirm the video contains no nudity or sexually explicit material, that you hold the rights and the consent of anyone who appears, that you have cleared any music, and that you understand OFTV is not a storage or backup service. You grant OF Media a non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicensable, assignable, transferable and royalty-free licence to use and store the video for running OFTV and related products, including making it available to the public and creating derivative works.
- OFTV has no obligation to publish or keep displaying what you submit, and it may remove any video at any time at its discretion.
- Where the law allows, you waive moral rights to object to how the video is treated, and the licence can pass to a buyer if OF Media or its assets are sold.
- You are legally responsible for the video and must cover OFTV's losses if you break the terms, for example by uploading music you had no licence for.
- Neither the terms nor the submission guidelines describe any payment for submitted videos, so plan OFTV as a visibility channel and ask OFTV directly if payment matters to your decision.
In practice: keep your own masters, never submit footage licensed exclusively to a brand, and file guest releases where you can find them. The same habits pay off on other long-form platforms; our YouTube strategy for OnlyFans creators uses the same horizontal format.
Show-format planner: story, lesson or performance
The structure rule is the easiest to fail and the easiest to plan for. Pick one of the three shapes the guidelines name, map the beats before you film, and choose the shelf your show belongs on; the genre menu on of.tv lists shelves such as How-To, Fitness, Food, Travel, Vlogs, Music, Comedy, Podcast, Automotive and Art.
| Show format | Shape | Beginning | Middle | End | Likely shelf | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Step-by-step tutorial | Teach a lesson | Show the finished result and say what viewers will be able to do | Each step in order, with close-ups where hands are working | Recap the steps over the finished piece | How-To, Beauty, Art, Food | Name tools without turning the episode into an advert |
| Training session | Teach a lesson | Who the session suits and what equipment is needed | The routine with form cues and rest timing | Cool-down and what the next session covers | Fitness, Sports, Wellness | Keep health statements general and film a second angle |
| Day-out or travel vlog | Tell a story | The goal of the day and why it matters to you | The obstacles, detours and best moments | Whether the goal was met and what you would change | Vlogs, Travel, Nature & Adventure | Bystanders and companions need to be happy to appear |
| Build or makeover project | Tell a story | The before state and the plan | Work in progress, including at least one setback | The reveal and a side-by-side with the start | Automotive, Science & Tech, Art | Long shoots in 4K can approach the file-size cap |
| Music, comedy or dance set | Show a performance | A short introduction to the piece or set | The performance itself, filmed wide and close | An outro that thanks viewers and names the next set | Music, Comedy | Covers of other people's songs fall under the copyrighted-music rule |
| Talk or podcast episode | Tell a story or teach a lesson | The topic and the question the episode answers | Two or three segments with a clear change between them | The answer, in one closing thought | Podcast, Infotainment | Record every voice at matched levels and get guest consent in writing |
A planner row that you cannot fill in is a warning sign. If you cannot say what changes between the beginning and the end, the episode is probably a clip rather than a show, and the guidelines ask for all three beats.
Final pre-submit checklist
- Your OnlyFans account and everything on it meets OFTV's safe-for-work standard.
- The channel fields match the limits in the channel table, and you have chosen whether to promote your connected social account.
- The video is landscape, exported from the master at full quality, and meets the resolution, length and size rules.
- You can state the beginning, middle and end of the episode, and it fits one of the three shapes.
- Levels stay within the guideline range across the whole timeline, and every track is original or licensed.
- Each guest has agreed in writing to be recorded and posted, and nobody under 18 appears.
- The title, description and thumbnail are safe for work and within the form's limits.
- The cloud link opens in a private browser window without signing in.
- You have read section 3 of the OFTV terms, and your launch plans do not depend on a fixed publication date.
Limits of this guide
OFTV's submission guidelines sit inside the Content Dashboard rather than on a public help page. We read them, and the form limits quoted here, from the guideline and form text the dashboard served on 1 October 2026, alongside the OFTV terms, which were last updated in March 2025. OFTV can change both at any time, and the terms say it may change the service for any reason, so check the dashboard's own wording when you submit.
OFTV publishes no acceptance rates, review times, audience figures or payment terms for submissions, so nothing here suggests a feature will bring subscribers or income. Music licences, guest releases and brand work are legal questions in your own country; beyond routine permissions, speak to an entertainment or media lawyer. If you are still choosing between a safe-for-work OnlyFans page and a platform built only for that kind of content, our comparison of Fanfix vs OnlyFans sets out the trade-offs.
