How to embed attached videos

It's clunky but it works.

I did a couple in this post. General Coronavirus (COVID-19) Non-Hockey Related Discussion


Max size is 10MB for sponsors and staff.
For everyone else it is 5MB

That's per video, not per post. We may have to make some adjustments. A dedicated video forum if it gets too popular. I want to see how it goes.

Compose post,
Upload attachment
Post it
You'll see the attachment in the post. At this point the only way to watch them is to download them.
Copy the link for the attachment. (eg https://hfboards.mandatory.com/attachments/olivia-mp4.337285/)
Enclose the attachment link in video tags
Code:

Code:

[video]https://hfboards.mandatory.com/attachments/olivia-mp4.337285/[/video]

Delete the attachments where you are given the option below the post.

You can also use the same technique for mp3's (use the video tag)
