3. Supported Links & What to Expect
| Link type & example | What happens |

Standard public video linkdailymotion.com/video/x... | Played through the official streaming protocol; smoothly switches between resolutions. |

4. FAQ & Troubleshooting
Q: Why does a Dailymotion video load slowly?
Dailymotion's servers are mainly in Europe. When playing overseas videos, make sure your device has a stable international connection, and pick a low-latency European or Asia-Pacific server in your network accelerator.
Q: Will importing a Dailymotion playlist create a collection automatically?
Yes! Once the playlist is parsed, the app uses its name and batches all the videos into a dedicated collection, so you can manage them as one group.
Q: It says the video is not available in my region (Geo-restricted)?
Some European broadcasters enable geographic copyright protection, limiting playback to certain countries or regions. For such videos, try searching for the same content on YouTube or Bilibili without the lock.
