Hi guys!!

I just wanted to ask if it could be possible to load up videos on wikiloos.
I made videos with musik made by wikiloonians that are on my channel on FB but i don`t want to load them up on youtube.
It would be cool to share these videos with the wiki-comunity. Is it possible to load trhe up on the wikiserver?

Hey Basster,
it would be technically possible to host video on the WL server, but considering the average file size of a halfways decent video (and the bandwidth needed to stream that on each view), I would rather not want to go there.
It is a budget issue after all, and video streaming is something that gets quite costly very quickly. So, sorry, but no, I don't think that will become available anytime soon.

How about embedding youtube videos, would that be an option?

well, you can embed YT video in this forum, where else would that make sense?
I think it is already possible in your profile/biography field, too, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it would work...
one could add an embed function to the comment section as well to allow posting videos below the used track... but I guess Stefan (basster) has a reason not to choose youtube for hosting.
