iCloud and Video

I'm confused. The commercial says with iCloud "Take it there and it shows up here...". I took video on my 4 S and it won't show up on my iPad, just a photo of it... Am I doing something wrong?

iPad, iOS 5.1

Photostream does photos, not videos.

I suppose the rationale is that iCloud does not yet differentiate between 3G and WiFi when syncing. If you synced video over 3G, you'd go over your monthly data allotment with your service provider in no time.

Thanks, J D. Since everything else transfers, I didn't think video would be any different, but I guess that makes sense.

Also keep in mind, that unless you have purchased additional space, iCloud is limited to 5gb. That would fill up VERY quickly when storing video files.
