Discourse does support video uploads:

Out of the box this is controlled by 3 site settings:

`authorized_extensions_for_staff`  
`theme_authorized_extensions`

and

`authorized_extensions`

Out-of the-box video uploads are not included in authorized extensions. To add them add the appropriate extensions. Eg: `mp4` and other video containers.

Also be sure to allow for larger uploads by adjusting `max_attachment_size_kb`.

Keep in mind that [low trust users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/90752) (eg: trust level 0) can not post videos.
