How to post a video?

[AuntPeggy]

Hubby got a new camera -- our first ever video camera since the old camcorder from 15-20 years ago. He mounted it in the airplane and I wanted to know how to post a 3-minute clip here on PoA.

Is it necessary to put it onto YouTube first. We'd rather not do that. If it is required, then we need to know how that is done, too.

Although we have been computer-savvy for a few decades, we were not paying attention while this video stuff got popular.

Did the above link as you suggested. It's only appearing as a link, not embedded.

Minus the Xs

If you are reading posts using an iPad, then the Youtube "yt" tags always get rendered as a link, not with a preview image. Try using "ytold" tags instead and see if that doesn't work better. Below is the same video using the ytold tags.

By the way, the following contains a list of all the formatting tags and example usages you can use on PoA:
