You are adding a link to your video. Video cannot be played in the forum.
You can add animated gifs, which are like short videos. Those will be displayed in the forum.
That's much better, someone will preview then access the link to the video url or can also add a play icon to the image that indicates it is video content.

It is better to use GIFs instead. Video content makes the paragraph-ed and main context of a thread useless as a video can describe and tell everything a thread can. It is just useless as they would require to redirect to other websites and the idea of a forum would somehow be lessen. To be quite specific, Videos can tell a whole story a thread can't and it can even contain more content than a thread can. Hence, videos are unnecessary.

Please use search engine before create a thread. You should not create new thread if there a thread who have discussed it before.
I don't know man, but this doesn't sound right to me.

If we do exactly what you say, then there is no way this topic will be reintroduced to newcomers and people. It's about recalling things.

But I think the right way to do this is to include the old thread as a reference to the new thread.

It's actually same as of posting an image. What you have done is: posting and image and linking it with a video, isn't it? There's no way of adding video in smf forum AFAIK. That's good on one hand that it would look spammy if multiple people post videos.

To add them, just add like .gif images like you do with any normal image.

To the beginners getting curious to want to add videos to their threads, I will up this thread so you can try to it too. But to add image and video you must need to be a Jr. Member.

This is how you can add video and direct to YouTube.



Also, you can use the imagur.com

To someone wants to upload videos in bitcointalk:

  • Go to imgur.com

  • Drag your files

  • GET THE LINK

  • Copy the forum link

Code:
"[url=https://][img] This is for the thumbnail[/img][/url]"

Output:



Ps. I want to help other users to be aware that this is possible to add videos to our content.
