This new theme component enables video uploads from the Discourse composer to YouTube and Vimeo. For those already familiar with [the plugin I developed recently](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-video-upload-plugin-with-youtube-and-vimeo/168569), the same is now available in this Theme Component which can be added to any theme. This makes for a much easier installation and works in exactly the same way as the plugin.

### Features

All forum members can upload videos to Vimeo or YouTube (admins can choose to enable either or both).

Admins can control the view and embed privacy of the videos uploaded to Vimeo using admin settings.

User can control view privacy of the videos uploaded to YouTube from the upload modal.

You can watch a demo of the plugin here (everything is same in the component except for the settings page. The component settings page is found under Admin \> Customize \> Components \> Video Upload):

### Configuration

**Important** : For theme components, you need to make sure you activate the component for the themes used on your instance (either click `Add all themes` or choose the themes you want).

The developer setup for enabling uploads to YouTube and Vimeo are listed below. If you prefer someone to do it for you, you can request support by contacting me, @ti0.

- Choose a video file and edit the details such as title and description, if you wish.

- Click the Upload to Vimeo or Upload to YouTube button.
