Once you have the key, you'll need VID on the native VideoCoin Blockchain.
You can use your publisher wallet to send in ERC20, which is automatically bridged to a native VID.
Once the native VID is bridged and available, you can move it into your Worker address using the VideoCoin Bridge tool. Since the bridge tool is going to be public at the Everest Release, you can send an email to support@videocoin.io to get your transaction processed.
Thats it! Your worker will now be waiting to receive work
