Posting videos

[msmofet]

Something like a personal video would have to be hosted somewhere. For example, videos I’ve made, I’ve uploaded to YT, then posted the YT link here.

I’ve done that. YouTube stops me from posting it anywhere.

Then I would hazard a guess that you have not set up YouTube correctly.

Personal videos on YT are the whole point of YT and that it's where i host mine.

I can host them but won't let me post.

Then you likely have the settings set up incorrectly in YT

Later today, when I'm feeling a bit better I'll upload a video to YT and record the settings i use, so that you can match what you do to a method i know works. You may need to change additional settings else where, but I'll check that later.

There are 2 key places where you must select public for a video to be available to share publicly. If they are not set to public, you can't share, end of story.

These images are from the YT app on my phone, but it is similar on the desktop version through a web browser.

So, your playlist must be public.
And you must make the video available to the public within that public play list. I think you can get away without using play lists but that's rather like storing everything on the floor.

So check your playlist area first.

Then, click add.

Visibility must be set to public.

I find it less hassle to say no to kids.

Select a playlist that is visible to the world

When it has uploaded, click the 3 dots and select share

Copy the link.

That link is what you paste here.

Thank you. I’ll check into it tomorrow.
