How do you post videos on CB

[Grmps]

Whats the best way to post short videos on CB?
I get sent videos using WhatsApp on my cell phone,
I get it uploaded to photos.google.com and get the link to it
BUT you can view everything else that I have there too.
I can't put it on Imgur because it's to long.
What is a good way of sharing a 90-second video on CB ?

If it is a youtube video, I have just been posting the link to it. I am not sure about other hosting sites, but the links from Utube work. There is also a little icon up in the tools above this post. (2nd in from the Right that looks like a couple of frames of film). You can use that one too I think.

Maybe someone else can help if what I said does not work for ya.

G'luck!

I'm like JB, when in doubt I search Youtube for the same video first.
Then it is a simple copy/paste.

I use this to post youtube videos so the player opens right in the post:

Example #1: video=youtube;*]http://www.youtu.be/watch?v=*[/video

I have removed the [ and ] from the beginning and the ending of the example #1

If I put a [ at the beginning of Example #1 and a ] at the end of it, it makes the player load in this window like this:


http://www.youtu.be/watch?v=*

I go to youtube and rt. click the video while it's playing and choose "Show video URL" then highlight that and copy it, then paste it into the post I am making temporarily.

For example, this is a Doug & Pat comparison of different guitar pickups: https://youtu.be/gtDSKBqKrRw so I highlight the syntax AFTER the / and I replace the * in the example I posted and it will make the video play right here in this window.

So using Example #1 and replacing the * with the actual video URL after the / sign, I copy and paste in gtDSKBqKrRw and now Example #1 now looks like this:

video=youtube;gtDSKBqKrRw]http://www.youtu.be/watch?v=gtDSKBqKrRw[/video

If I were to add the [ and ] to the above example, and post it, it will make the video playable right here in this post....... Like this below:

thank you, I was asking how to post a video that is NOT on you-tube.

[Grmps]

I found out that you can post a video under 30 seconds long using Imgur

Grmps the easy answer to your question is to upload it to youtube yourself. Then link it here.

IF you want to link to anything on YouTube or anything taken off the web,
Watch it/check it at least 3 times to make 110% sure that it doesn't contain ANY forbidden language or subject matter.

Don't ask me how I know this :shock: :oops:
