Has anybody found a way to Photo-stream videos?

No, videos can not be uploaded or downloaded in Photo Stream. This is serious shortcomimg of iCloud service

Why ? It is called PHOTOstream, not PHOTOANDVIDEOstream. So there is no "shortcoming". It is what it says.

Sure there is a shortcoming; Apple advertises, at least here in the U.S. that videos can be shared using Photo Stream. It just doesn't work. Apple employees will tell you this onoly works amongst iOS devices; but! Apple promised to bring this service to the desktop with Mavericks. Still does not work, as far as I can tell.

The web-link Photostream does have the video; that's how I have shared video with non-Apple devices. If I visit the web link in Safari, the video is there. In iPhoto, get the Info for the photo stream and you can get the web link (if you have made it public).

I have not tried it within iPhoto on a different Mac because I don't have another Mac, and my relatives aren't running Mavericks yet. From what you say, it doesn't work but I haven't seen that for myself.

I'm sorry, I'm really dumb. How do we get the web-link? How can we set a photoshare to be public? It's not at iCloud, as far as I can tell. The iPad seems to have limited capabilities in this regard. Couldn't find anything like this on my iPhone…

It seems that a Photo Stream can be created on an iPad, but not an iPhone, as far as I can tell. Once created, videos can be shared that are created on an iPhone to that stream.

Here's the clincher: I made a video on my iPhone and shared that through iCloud. It showed up on my Mac running Mavericks. I pulled it to my desktop. Then, I connected the iPhone to the Mac via a USB cable and imported the video; then dragged it to the desktop, too. The USB video was 9 MB, the iCloud shared video was only 2 MB. So, iCloud seems to be sharing downsampled videos, hardly the type one would want to show on a 27" iMac.

Apple really needs to work on this, I think.

Photo Stream cannot do videos but iCloud Photo Share can and it works.

For all intents and purposes, with Mavericks and iOS 7 Photo Share has replaced Photo Stream.

You aren't allowed do that. That would kill Apple's servers.

For the web link:

On your Mac, in iPhoto:

- select the photostream

- click "info"

- share publically

- copy the provided link.

Thank you Anton!
