Ability to configure where videos uploaded

Contribute Feature

Hello, currently in pro plan I would like to offer my users the possibility to upload videos but the storage offered by the plan is no sustainable for video storage so I would like to use mux or any other valid provider of this service without have to leave here and go self - hosted or upgrade plan at the moment too expensive for me. Any help on this?

While you cannot install custom plugins, theme components are allowed on most hosting tiers. I think @Arkshine fixed the Vimeo and YouTube upload theme component. It’s currently still tagged as broken, probably because those changes aren’t yet in the original component. You can try the version from this post.

Just for information about this TC. I did not made a new topic yet because:

  1. The new vimeo per-user auth — while it works for the owner of the app, it will not on others because it’s gated behind a partnership requirement. “Your app can upload to other Vimeo accounts as part of the Vimeo Partners program.”. I was late to learn this. I don’t know if anyone can apply, I was going to try.

  2. Vimeo with a shared account – With a TC, it might be a security issue since you can extract the token. It was the case before, but with the per-user auth new method, I would have recommended to not use anymore a shared account. However because of 1. I’m thinking I should probably make plugin version instead (a shared account has still real usage case)

For youtube and vimeo per-user (with partnership enabled) only, the TC should work great!

yes, but the point for me is to enable other users from my platform to upload without asking them to have an account on vimeo or youtube

Then Vimeo with shared account (so everyone uploads to your account) is likely what you want. However, I would strongly not recommend to use the TC version unless you have a closed/private forum. If you give some time, I will make a plugin version of my TC so the vimeo token won’t be a security issue (edit: though I’m not sure you are allowed to upload custom plugins with discourse hosting plans ::sweat_smile: )

They won’t be able to use that on Discourse’ Pro plan.
