How to embed private videos?

For a small private community you can increase the max upload size and upload those to Discourse.

There are some things to consider:

  • videos consume a lot of space so you will want to setup some form of block storage (s3 and the clones) and CDN

  • if you are putting those in a s3-like bucket you could even bypass uploading those to Discourse and just put em on the bucket and oneboxing

  • Be careful on the codecs to ensure your video can be played everywhere

  • You said the videos need to be private. Uploading videos directly will allow people to right click and download the original. Not sure if that will be a problem in your application.
