Title: Posting a video...
Post by: cam2502 on 14 September 2012, 14:42:31
How do I do it? From the likes of you tube. Laymans terms if you don't mind guys, took me forever to get the hang of posting photos!

you cant, you can just post a link,

so highlight your address bar, press ctrl and c to copy, then ctrl and v to paste into a post on here...

All you get is the link so people can click and see, there is no embedding like there used to be.

Hi Cam,

If you open the You Tube video on iPad, tap the screen and you should see 'share' option. You can tap that and it looks like you want to send it to someone. Tap 'mail link to this video'...Just copy the complete link of the video using the select bars (cancel the 'mail link bit' that you copied it from) and then paste in this forum. There are probably better ways but it works for me.
So, you would copy and paste the bit you see below.

Got the video up, press the share button, up comes a page asking me mail to.... Can't see how to copy the link? There's nothing asking me if I want to copy

I've just added an edit. Tap share-----tap mail link to------copy bit that shows the URL link----cancel the send to bit-----paste in forum.

Eg. Copy the just the complete http bit and then paste on forum. Just cancel the bit shown in pic below by simply tapping 'cancel'.  :y

Are you using the select bars shown below to highlight the http address and then use them for copy and paste.
