How do you upload video?

[Janet H]

You can link to a video hosted by youtube and a few other video hosting sites, by coping the url of the video and pasting it into your post. Our software will convert it to an image in your post.

Can I upload from my computer directly and not use a video hosting site?

2GB free or 10GB paid subscription https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTU4OTQxNzk for the free one that gets me + 250MB for referral. Hint.

Just Dropbox - Home - Secure backup, sync and sharing made easy. if you prefer ~ It gives you a web dropbox (Eg. for a video,) you may have to zip it for people to download from your public folder. You get the Url by left clicking on your file in DropBox Public; then picking that option from the menu.

CF does not currently host video. You need a host site to store your videos.

Does the video have to be hosted by Youtube or Dropbox to show here?
I have our videos eaither hosted on Flickr or on our own server for our blog:

I tried adding the url and the <embed> tags but that apparently does not work. Or am I just missing something?
Thanks

[Janet H]

Your assumption is correct. The embed feature doesn't support videos from some sites.

[clausont]

Ok, thanks Janet!

[MarkJ]

Can someone tell me how to embed Youtube video plese.

SIMPLY explained would help!

[SaucySailoress]

Copy the URL from YouTube.
Paste it into your post.

Simple enough?

DON't try to embed it - no need

[FrankZ]

And be aware the embedding only works for youtube, other video sources won't do it.

The broadband that I use, for a near 90 mb download, take about an hour. The third time I used the pop-up attachments, I included a photo that down-loaded in nearly no time, then I got a message to log in, what I did and the CF site crashed. Returning to the site and after logging in, I checked the attachments pop up and found the photo. Getting into the attachments box I was asked to log in again but could not find the movie (Marquesas) download.

interestingly the photo did not load.
