Is You Tube the best way to post videos or can I post them somehow from my phone without going through You Tube? I have some videos of Elvis's general 'too silliness that I'd like to share but I don't use You Tube. I could post through there I guess but then is it public if I do? I guess if I restrict the viewing somehow then it couldn't be seen here? I really just want AA members to be able to see them.

You can upload them to youtube and set the privacy to unlisted, that makes so only people with the link can see it. I upload most of my stuff that way :)

Hey, Taxidermynerd! I've done this before, but am still fumbling with it. I want to share a video I took this morning. I managed to post it to YouTube with a privacy setting. Now, how do I get it over to the Avenue? Thanks. President of the TCG!:D

Just copy the link, hit the little chain-link icon on the top hat of your post, and paste the link into the little box that comes up. Then it ok and it should work!

I don't see a way to copy the link.
Highlight it, then right click. A little menu should appear, and it should say 'copy' somewhere. Click that, then go back to AA, hit the link icon at the top of the post-maker thingie (the box where you type out your post) then right click and hit 'paste' and your link should appear in the box! :)

I think you can also highlight the link and then hit the control (ctrl) and C keys to copy, and control and V to paste! :)

I only have a mobile device on the RV.
On my mobile if I hold down on the thing I want to highlight, I get little teardrop things that I can click and drag to highlight. Can you?

Ok, I'm feeling really unintelligent today. I've done this with my dancing ElfYourself videos, but, for some reason (old age?) I can't figure out (remember). Here's screenshots of the video I want to share here that I posted to YouTube. When I select the share option, it says I have to change the privacy setting. I'm so confused.

I used FB. Took me a few tries but it finally worked. :shocked5: I'm not tech savvy & don't do FB much but even I stumbled through.

You're welcome. I've decided life is to short to feel embarrassed about not knowing how to do something you want to do! Though it is a bit disconcerting that I've actually done this but now don't remember how!

They'd be the most worthy FB friends. Sure beats the heck outta some family members! That's why I come to FaceBird, uh, AA instead!
