Uploading videos

How does one upload videos on here anyway?
I've got a few that might entertain some of you, all vehicle videos, but I have no idea how to get them from my computer to here.

@Long_Voyager94 upload to youtube then link is my best guess.

@pip-bip is correct, although you can now upload GIFs if you have a tool to create them. Unfortunately they get very large, very fast; when I've created one for upload here, I had to keep shortening and compressing it to get it to a reasonable size.

@pip-bip Just another piece of software. The ones I've found for my iPhone are mostly subscription-based, which there's no way I'm spending $10/month to create one or two GIFs a year, but there's a good free one for my Mac. I assume Windows has some crapware to do the trick.

ezgif.com does a fantastic job.

Ew, that means I have to "join" Youtube.

I guess I'll just keep trucking without videos....
