Default Uploading video

How do you upload videos? Someone said make a YouTube video and copy the link. I did that and goes to 50% then says it can't. I've tried doing it from my phone says it can't. I have a samsung s 20 with Verizon so not sure what I need to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx!

For video sharing we suggest you upload the video to YouTube then simply copy and paste the link in your post. You note it "goes to 50%", which indicates you're using our upload manager to upload. That would not be the process if you've already uploaded the video to YouTube. You simply copy and paste the link of your YouTube video within your post (the same place you type your message).

While we accept uploads, such as for pictures, videos require a different hardware and software environment to properly host that similar sites also aren't set up to provide. Thus why YouTube is recommended to upload the video, then simply share it by pasting the link to the video.
