zep73 Posted February 14, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I don't think UM has the capacity to host videos. Put it on youtube and insert the link here instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you have a youtube account? Or a google/chrome account? They're all valid on youtube. When you're logged in, just click the upload button in the top right corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having z hard time figuring it out : ( There are probably different ways of doing it, but the method below works for me- 1- download the video from your phone onto your PC desktop. 2- Go to youtube and click the 'upload' arrow in the top right corner. 3- Click the big arrow that appears in the middle of your screen called 'Select files to upload' 4- Click the vid on your desktop, and the vid will start uploading to youtube. (it could take a long time if the vid is a long one) 5- When its finished, copy and paste its link into the forum. It works fine for me but my setup might be different from yours, let us know how you get on... Edited February 15, 2020 by Crikey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaikou Posted February 15, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2020 If you don't have a youtube (or google account) go to youtube.com and look at the top right corner of your screen. You should see a "sign in" button. Click that and go to create a new account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crikey Posted February 15, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) TIP- if a vid that I've put on my PC desktop is too long, I use the free 'Movie Maker' program to chop it down to just the bit I want. PS- I've always been a PC dummy, so if I can do it anybody can.. Edited February 15, 2020 by Crikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if necessary, trim the video down to the essentials - if we need more, we'll ask... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much to trim down at all, most of my videos are all pretty full and active from start to finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if I click on a video link in any forum and find it's longer than a couple of minutes, I usually click back out UNLESS it sounds interesting and worth checking out. After all, discussion forums are for discussing things, not shunting people off to long vids to do their talking for them.. In fact when I post vids myself they're ultra-short like this one because I don't want people to regard them as long and- Edited February 24, 2020 by Crikey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videos are copied and posted or links are added, it is what keeps conversations going and interesting, the viewer can make their own opinions, like we do in all topics here with any other video link ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted March 21, 2020 #13 Share Posted March 21, 2020 How do you put someone on ignore and keep them there? I have someone on total ignore and am seeing their posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invision Board's ignore system is limited, if you already have all the ignore checkboxes checked for that person, there's nothing further you can do.
