Please Help Me Rediscover Video File

#1 Post by DonSchaeffer » Sat Jun 04, 2022 2:39 pm

A few weeks ago I had a stroke that erased a lot of valuable memory in my brain. I am trying to recall the commands for displaying video files on the board. Can anyone help me remember what command lines will display a video in the forum? Try as I may I can't recall how I did it. Thanks.

Hi Don,
first upload your video to your youtube channel
then copy its "video link" text and paste into your post.
- it will look something like h ttps://youtu.be/gobbldygook
or use the YOUTUBE tag in the tools of the posting form (top right of vimeo etc.) to insert just the "gobbldygook" bit between the tags.

good luck

Hi Don, I made a step by step of the process with images. Hope this helps.

1. Click Youtube on the menu.

2. Look for this on path on your board:

3. Go to the video you want to insert, and copy the final section of the URL, the one with letters and numbers:

4. Paste what you previously copied here:

5. At this point you should be done, but you can click on "Preview" to check that your video has been successfully inserted.
