Hello
Here is a small demo I thought I would share . I[video=mp4] this is done with old game guru in case anyone wonders.
I'm try this out to see if I can get this video to work with a post I have never tried before . Could some one let me know if this video works. Thank you.

You need to upload your video to a video sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo first. If using YouTube, use the tags

(video=youtube) paste your 11-character URL here (/video)

but with square brackets. So for example...

(video=youtube)GiQPIqwN4Kk(/video).

If that were square brackets not round, it would embed a video of my game Extraction Point into my post. It's basically the same process for vimeo videos too, except using (video=vimeo) followed by the video number and concluded with (/video). I've never tried the direct MP4 upload feature, but presumably there's filesize limit on it and no embedded player like YouTube or Vimeo.

Test.

EDIT: doesn't look like it embeds at all, just attaches it. So YouTube and Vimeo are preferable.

Those video tags need the video to be on a server somewhere to stream.
