I am using the latest version of ghost with casper. I am trying to figure out a way to upload a video to ghost so that I can have it in my post. The nature of the content means I can not link this video from a third party hosting service like youtube or vimeo. Is there a way to add a video to a gho…

Hi Biko, The answer to your question is here: [image] Hosted audio and video, embedded in posts Ideas Unfortunately hosting audio and video is expensive, difficult, and full of problems. The effort is not worth the reward to build this into Ghost or support it. Using exte…

Host it on Vimeo and make it private!?

You could upload it somewhere via FTP and then use the <video> tag inside a html card. [image] : The Video Embed element - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN The HTML element embeds a media player which supports video playback into the document. You can use for audio content as well…

Create an HTML card with the following code: <video controls width="250"> <source src="/media/examples/flower.webm" type="video/webm"> <source src="/media/examples/flower.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Sorry, your browser doesn't support embedded videos. </video> Obviously replace src=“…

Maybe try different browsers too if you haven’t already? Here’s one of the videos that worked for me: you might try downloading i…

Thank you for adding this update, I’ve been going crazy wondering what I’m doing wrong with video, good to know it can actually work! :smile: Your example video worked for me, but nothing I do seems to work :cry: Trying as many different types of mp4 I can, including renaming a .mov straight from m…
