Upload video to answer?

I am a relitivly frequent contributer to the apple support community. I am currently working on troubleshoothing a problem with a person and I would like to upload a video to help this person. I see a grayed out box that should allow me to do this, but it is not clickable.


Is there anyway to upload this video through apple? Or should I upload it to youtube and then embed it?


Thanks!

You can't upload video video to these forums. What you can do is embed videos from YouTube into your post.



Copy the embed tag from the YouTube video that you want to embed into a post... check 'Use HTTPS' and 'use old embed tag' boxes:

User uploaded file

Click on the HTML button:

User uploaded file

Paste the embed tag into the window:

User uploaded file

Click on SHOW FULL EDITOR to check the post before posting.


If you have a Flash blocker or the 'Click on Flash' extension installed. You will need to turn them off until you have finished posting the video to these forums. (Turn off extension before going to YouTube and after you finish posting the video.) iFrames won't work on these forums.


enjoy!
