Video upload

[Foxfold]

I've taken a video on my phone of my new workshop and wanted to put it up on here. However it keeps 'failing' and I have absolutely no idea why. Can anyone help ?

Join Youtube and upload it there, then post a link onto the forum.

I am sure you will find lots of info on youtube showing you how to do this.

I just did a test and I loaded and 29 second mp4 and it worked just fine.

Therefore, it might be the length or the type.

How big is your file and what is the type?

PS:  This video is for a a ZOOM meeting virtual background so you can leave a meeting and it just loops to look like you are there.

Mmm, it might be too big then. It lasted over a minute    I'll try again and make shorter video.  It went just fine onto my Facebook page and I presumed it would fit on here too ..

I know I've read of others uploading directly to the village.. I've never been able to get that to work for me... even a very short 10 sec. one won't work for me.. I'm not sure what it is.. so I typically load up to my FB page or youtube.. They upload fasted on FB.. but youtube has better settings on who sees it etc..

I wanted to upload a video on  the village on some processes I used for my making my plaques. I contacted Travis about the size of the files and they were BIG!. He suggested I upload them to youtube and then copy the link to my SSV posting. Youtube has lots of settings for your video that are helpful. Works fine now. BTW, I used my phone for the video but wanted to work hands free. I have a Selfie Stick and the handle is 3/4" in diameter. Drilled a hole in a 7 x 7 piece of wood that was 1.5" thick (piece of cutoff joist) Works great!
