NoHuddleKelly12 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) After doing a cursory topic search, I did not see this addressed elsewhere--are there any workarounds to the attachment size limit for pics/vids? I've been working on finding a feasible way to post video that I shot yesterday at camp (the longest one is only 20 secs, most are 10-15 secs), and was able to even drag in from my google photos account to the message drafting screen here, where I could see it and it was running fine, but as soon as I click send, it would disappear, while any still photos would stay. I don't use twitter or anything like that where I could possibly migrate it from. Is setting up a link to a shared google photo album the only way? I'd prefer not to do it that way since I can't individually identify/caption that way before it posts. If I separately save each vid, then attach to the message, I get the error message about it being over the size limit (meanwhile we have vids posted here all the time that technically are over the limit, but because they're linked from twitter or youtube, no issues?). Anyway, any reasonable insight provided I'll make use of. Edited August 14, 2019 by NoHuddleKelly12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense about the bandwidth—thanks for clarifying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he were really a fan, he’d made DVDs of them and mail them to our home address. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If you have a gmail account, you can easily upload to YouTube. I do it with family videos every once in a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is prob what I’ll end up doing, trying to figure out a working embed from google drive today has been problematic at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
