Posting a Video

I apologize if this information has been already stated in previous posts. I was going to post an embedded video from Facebook. I guess it is more difficult than I thought. Now I do not know how to delete this post. Can you embed a Facebook Video for posting?

https://backcountrypilot.org/help#media-photo-post

The key is that you use the unique identifier of the video between the appropraite BBcode tags. See the example in that Help page.

Personally, I don't trust Facebook for reliable photo of video storage. Often, image URLs will change and ruin past posts. I usually host on Youtube or Vimeo and leave the videos unlisted. Then you can link to it on Facebook or here for your friends.

Re: Posting a Video

Thanks for the information. For some reason it won't post my Facebook Video. It just seems like the Facebook videos have a greater quality than Youtube. I will open a Youtube or Vimeo channel and do it that way. The Facebook problem may have something to do with my privacy settings. Thanks for the reply.

Ah, yeah. That's likely the issue.
