How to Connect
Step 1: Log in or create a Bunny account
Go to bunny.net and sign in, or create a new account.
Be sure to add a payment method under Billing. Bunny removes all uploaded videos once the free trial expires if no payment method is added.
Step 2: Get your API key
From your Bunny dashboard, open Account Settings → API and copy your Account API Key.
Step 3: Connect to Skippz
In your Skippz dashboard, open Settings → Video Provider, paste your API key, and choose your preferred region.
Frankfurt is always used as the main library location because it’s Bunny’s core data center, while your selected region acts as a replication point for faster delivery.
Step 4: Click Connect
Once connected, Skippz automatically creates your Stream Library and Storage Zone inside Bunny.
Your videos are now ready to upload, organise, and share through Skippz.
Important Notes and Best Practices
Do not delete your Stream Library or Storage Zone manually
These are created automatically when you connect Bunny to Skippz.
Deleting them directly from your Bunny dashboard can permanently break the link and corrupt your video entries inside Skippz.
Keep your Bunny account active
If your free trial ends without billing details, Bunny will automatically remove all content.
Always ensure your account is active before uploading videos through Skippz.
Changing regions
Once you have uploaded videos, the region cannot be changed.
If you haven’t uploaded anything yet or want to start fresh, disconnect your account using Delete from both, then reconnect with a new region.
Alternatively, you can manually create a new Replication Zone in Bunny without disconnecting.
Troubleshooting
1. I can’t upload videos
This usually means:
-
Your Bunny account is not properly connected. Recheck your API key and reconnect.
-
Your free trial expired or no payment method is set up. Add billing details in Bunny.
-
You deleted your Stream Library or Storage Zone manually. Reconnect and create a new one if this happened.
2. I accidentally disconnected my Bunny account
No worries. As long as you didn’t select Delete from both or manually delete your libraries in Bunny, simply reconnect using the same API key.
Your files and metadata will sync back and continue to work normally.
3. I deleted files manually from Bunny
Files deleted directly inside Bunny cannot be restored or matched again inside Skippz.
To avoid broken links, always delete or manage videos through Skippz only.
4. I want to permanently remove everything
When disconnecting, you can choose one of two options:
-
Delete from Skippz only – Keeps all your Bunny videos intact, but removes Skippz metadata.
-
Delete from both – Deletes your Stream Library and Storage Zone completely from Bunny as well.
Use this only if you are sure, as this cannot be undone.
Any manually uploaded files inside those zones will also be permanently deleted.
5. Why is Frankfurt always my Stream Library location?
Frankfurt is Bunny’s primary data center where all libraries are initially created.
The region you choose in Skippz acts as a replication point that speeds up delivery to your viewers.
This ensures your videos are stored securely and delivered faster worldwide, without affecting performance.
6. Will manually uploaded files in Bunny appear in Skippz?
No. Skippz does not scan or sync files that weren’t uploaded through the Skippz platform.
This protects your privacy and ensures complete control over what appears inside your dashboard.
7. What data does Skippz store?
We only store the encrypted video link provided by Bunny, along with our platform metadata such as video name, description, and tags.
When disconnecting, you can decide whether we should remove this data by selecting either Delete from Skippz only or Delete from both.
Feature Notes for Bunny Users
-
Captions: Bunny does not include free caption generation, and their built-in transcription service is costly. Skippz allows you to upload your own .vtt subtitle files manually.
Soon, our AI Caption Suite will let you generate, edit, and translate captions on-demand in over 150 languages directly inside Skippz.
-
Thumbnails:
Bunny automatically creates one initial thumbnail when a video is uploaded, but does not allow on-demand thumbnail generation.
You can easily upload any custom thumbnail image through Skippz to keep your videos visually consistent.
Bunny Stream gives you incredible global reach at an unbeatable price, and Skippz provides the interface to make it all effortless.
Follow these best practices to keep your connection stable and your videos secure.
