How does one post a video

Post by Tom Hicks » Tue Feb 05, 2019 3:09 pm

I apologize in advance for asking this because I am sure this has been asked before, I just can't find the link.

I got a GoPro camera which I am figuring out. How does one post a video taken on a GoPro?

Thanks

Tom,

This site - like most public forums - cannot support or host a video.

You need to provide a link to a separate site that holds your video(s)
like You Tube.

Other sites that offer video hosting for “ free “ have limited free
storage - they rely on you to purchase additional storage space
on their website ( which can get really expensive ).

I never explored my website host to see what they would charge.

I use Instagram to edit & host videos of 60 seconds or less.

I also post those edited videos on Facebook.

You might try "Google Photos." It doesn't cost anything, and provides a link for sharing. I don't use it often, preferring Dropbox, but it automatically backs up all my pics and photos for free.

OK, so to post a video,

First I download, or upload, or whatever, that video to You Tube or similar

Then in order to post the video here I post a link to the You Tube or similar where I posted the video?


The reader here clicks on the link to the video and can see it?

Thanks!

Yes, that's the idea. Put it on a video site (I use YouTube) and post a link to it here.

In the thread...
"What Have You Done To Your T In January?"
I posted a reply of an animated GIF, no audio and it's more of a slide show than a video. Just saying.

There are 29 frames of 640x480, including the title.
This is not the way to go but it does live here "forever".
