How to Post a Video

I have a short, 6 min, video that I would like to add to my gallery and then send it in a post. When I send it to the post I just want to send a link so it will be optional to those reading my post to actually watch the video.

Is there a help document for me to learn if this is possible?

The rules for the gallery are:
"We accept jpg, gif, bmp and png images, 8 MB maximum size."

You can enter a link to a video hosted somewhere else. I suggest giving people a good idea of what the video is if you want them to access it. I only very rarely access links outside of LT, and am not very interested in videos.

LibraryThing does not host videos. You can upload your video elsewhere, e.g. youtube.com, and then paste the link into your Talk message.

>4 norabelle414: That is what I just concluded after messing around with it a bit. Thanks for confirmation.
