Posting a video on the forum is easy — and you don’t need to upload big files.
Here’s how to do it the right way so the video shows up perfectly in your post.


📌 Step 1: Upload Your Video Somewhere Else

This forum does not host video files directly.

Upload your video to any of these:

  • YouTube

  • Facebook

  • TikTok

  • Vimeo

  • Instagram (public video)

Any platform that gives you a video link will work.


📌 Step 2: Copy the Video Link

After your video uploads, copy the link:

  • On YouTube → click Share → click Copy Link

  • On TikTok → tap the Share arrow → Copy Link

  • On Facebook → click the 3 dotsCopy link

  • On Vimeo → click ShareLink

That’s the only thing you need.


📌 Step 3: Paste the Link Into Your Forum Post

Go to the topic where you want to share your video and paste the link on its own line, like this:

 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=example

Don’t add formatting, don’t add brackets — just the link.

The forum will automatically embed the video for you.


📌 Step 4: Add a Short Description

Below your link, write a quick note about the video:

  • Why you like it

  • What it’s about

  • Why others should watch it

This helps start a real conversation.


📌 That’s it — your video is posted!

If your link is valid, the forum will show the full video player automatically.

If your video doesn’t embed, just reply here and we’ll help you out.

Enjoy sharing your favorites! 🎬
