Hello Quiet Man

You can display video on posts by sharing a link from YouTube but you can't upload video.

To share a YouTube Video (or other video sharing site) then follow these steps:

1. Select the Video option.

2. This opens the video box which allows you to paste in the weblink of the video you want to display. In this case it's the Queen Bohemian Rhapsody video on YouTube.

You can choose the embed option if you wish, but it is easier to simply select the video URL and paste it into the box marked "source" then select OK.

3. This will then give you a preview of your post and you can add other content to your post such as text images, or more videos.

The video will show as a grey box in preview mode, this is normal.

4. When you are happy, select the "Post this Thread" and you should see your video in the new thread or post.

Does that make sense?
