How do you upload video?

**Janet H** · 31-07-2009, 09:27

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

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