Is there any way to post a short video that I made?

I've searched HELP and could not find the answer.
Its just a fun video based on last night's results.
Thanks

Some folks can post their media to a site like imgur Layzeebeaver Nov 5 #1

Imgur is blocked in the UK, not here in the EU. You can use PostImages or ImgBB instead Celerity Nov 5 #7

I believe it would need to be hosted somewhere. pat_k Nov 5 #2

Thanks. I use "postimages.com" for pics, works well, but won't do videos BamaRefugee Nov 5 #8

Make a Youtube account, upload the video to your account, and post the link to it here. AZJonnie Nov 5 #3

Thanks I have a YouTube account. I was trying to post it off of Facebook where I originally posted it BamaRefugee Nov 5 #4

Pretty sure you can easily transfer vids from FB to Instagram and post a link to that here AZJonnie Nov 5 #6

Thanks. Not even sure I have an Instagram account I'll check. BamaRefugee Nov 5 #9

Yes, upload it to your Youtube.com account, then post the link here, Jack Valentino Nov 5 #10

Or instagram or tictoc and then post the link to them here in the message.

UNFORTUNATELY for folks like me NOT in the USA, imgur is not accessible anymore.

I think DU should consider some alternate means in the future. No quick fixes, just some longer term thinking the eliminates us being strangled and censored by big media.

Others probably have suggestions for where you could upload it.

FWIW, I have a site I upload images and video to for posting (e.g., the image in this post is hosted there). If you are interested, send a DU msg and I could arrange to upload and give you a link.

Works perfect, and not that hard to do

It doesn't have to be 'public' permissions, but you have to at least set permissions to "show the video if someone has the link". Which essentially means, if you share that link here on a public message board, the video becomes public. FYI.
