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:
http://www.youtu.be/watch?v=gtDSKBqKrRw
I found it

Just paste in the film strip above when the reply box is open.

thank you, I was asking how to post a video that is NOT on you-tube.
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.
DougGuy...that was a good try to show us old grey dogs 'how to'...prolly most everyone can do it now...ceptin me!
Oh well...thank you anyway...Merry Christmas.
A word of caution, remember you post something with lanquage or subject matter you are responsible and subject to swat on hand by a mod. Please remember you can't just warn bad lanquage cause you get a visit from infraction team.
