Thread: Video Library - how to use it

Some of you may have already noticed the video link in the navigation, its now active and waiting to be used: Media - Woodwork Forums

We can link and categorise videos from sites like: YouTube, Dailymotion, MetaCafe, Veoh, Google Video, MySpace, MyVideo, Sevenload, Vidmax and Vimeo

Please only add on topic videos that are suitable for general viewing.

The steps for adding a video are;

1) Click the add-upload link

then

3) The load function will populate most of the remaining fields, description, keywords, thumbnails etc.. If the author hasn't entered a very good description, you can improve it by simply editing it in the text box. The last thing you need to do is select a suitable category and then click submit once you're happy with the listing.

Thanks Steven,
It does make my life just a little bit easier.

Now if I can only just get the new posters not sign up and begin posting pictures in post one.

Hi Steven,

Just to make sure that I fully understand !

I cannot up load a video without placing it on a publicly accessible web site. In other words I can only place a link on here.
