Upload video directly

Support

In addition to video links from third-party platforms, how can I upload videos directly on discourse platforms? Is there a free plugin or component that can do that?

Ordinary uploading?

I do that frequently in this forum. It works like uploading an image. Either I use the upload button or I drag it into the composer.
Though at other forums, this sometimes doesn’t work because the admins haven’t enabled the upload of video files in the authorized extensions site setting. You can tell whether only images are allowed by checking the icon in the composer: if it shows an image icon, it means only image uploads are permitted.

Here at Meta, the insert video component is installed. However, it allows further actions and is not responsible for permitting video uploads in general.

Directly upload local videos from my computer to Discourse and then post. However, there is no option to upload local videos in the text box of my website’s editor

What does local video mean in this context?

I just installed this component in the community, but I can’t upload local videos properly.How to authorize and support video uploads?

I think it’s supposed to mean from the computer, instead of cloud media platforms.

Well, as long as admins do not permit the upload of videos in the authorized extensions site setting, you cannot upload files with video extensions. That’s why the upload icon in the editor is an image in that case.
