I wanna share some SUF style videos I made to this forum, but failed to embed those. How can I insert videos into a post?

Afaik, you canā€™t. But you could share the url to them if theyā€™re hosted somewhere else.

Ah thatā€™s a pity, but in this post the videos can be embedded, is it because my trust level too low?

I think thatā€™s cuz it was a YouTube video.

Like this one

Edit: or maybe not. Iā€™ll stop guessing now.
Edit2: as per Sir Jamesā€™ info. Or is it Sir Jamesā€™s? I never know.

Because I canā€™t help myself, I noticed I am unable to embed or upload vids myself in this forum but can in other discourse forums. So, it is either a trust level thing or an intentional exclusion to only a select few.

You can ā€œembedā€ a YouTube (and likely other) video by linking to it. Put the link on its own line to get the preview image and player, e.g.

If you include the link inline then you donā€™t get the preview/player, has to be on a new line. This link isnā€™t so doesnā€™t work, you just get the title: Wahoo SYSTM Training App - YouTube

You canā€™t upload your own video files like you would a picture.

I believe you can upload videos, but thereā€™s a 10mb limit. So really thatā€™s only a few seconds.

Yeah thatā€™s right! @Pierre got around it by loading his on YouTube I think.

ā€œSir Jamesā€™sā€ is grammatically correct.

James is a proper noun and singular, therefore possession is signified by ā€˜s (the fact that James ends in an s is irrelevant for this purpose).

An apostrophe after the s to denote possession would only be used for a plural noun, e.g. the bikesā€™ speed (the speed belonging to multiple bikes).

Except when itā€™s a proper noun then Iā€™m pretty sure both are fine. But hey, Iā€™m not a botanist :wink:

I never know either. And thereā€™s at least two of me inside my head so apostrophe away.
