How to post a video

[sft429]

I'm trying to figure out how to post a video that you only need to click on play to get it to work.  I've sen it done really well but I can't seem to manage it.

Thanks

Likely the WMV file format. You might try converting to something more widely accepted, perhaps MP4.

Thanks for the reply.  When I first posted it in the Test Forum it was in an MP4 and that didn't work so I converted to WMV.

 

It plays for me on my computer in VLC media player.  Maybe I'll try another app.

I think most people that are posting videos are linking to their YouTube channel.

The above  played on my Mac. However it does not play on my iPad. I don't have a player for Windows Media Files and don't intend to get one. I could not play the file in post 1.  I suggest YouTube.
