Can I include a video?

I am sure I have seen posts on the forum that have included a video?
Can I do that and if so, how is it done from my hard drive?

Ian, you'll need to upload it to a video hosting site such as the likes of You Tube and link it from there.

Will everyone and their dog be able to see it or only those accessing via the forum? I was just going to show it to members here.

Ian

Marking the video as unlisted on You Tube would mean that it wouldn't be visible on a general search but the link on the forum would still be live.

I assume you mean embedding a video into a post? As Jimbo says, you will need to upload to a video hosting site, after doing that, you will be able to either link to it, or if you want to embed into the post, follow THIS how to from Jay.

test but if you like blondie

followed Jays How to but perhaps not correctly.
mmmm that has not worked, any ideas why not?

omg why did I pick a song that's 40 years old...... gee I'm old

ok got it, Harry added to jays post. Remove the "with" at the end

Haven't you just done that in your previous post Ian.

If you mean by direct upload to the forum no.

Jim, yes that is what I meant, upload from my pc or memory card direct to the forum.

I thought others had done but seeing previous posts, they actually are linking to Youtube.
