Posting a YouTube Video - Please Read


HogHammer

Recommended Posts

So, you've come across a video you believe is of value to the community.  By all means, post/share it -

However:

Do not just let the forum community hang with the first thoughts of "What's this"?  Add some comments to the video you post.  Basically, what are the who, what, why, and any additional comments you have?  Be descriptive!

If the point of the video you want to present requires watching the entire video, great.  However, if the content provider rambles for the first 10 minutes, save everyone's time and time stamp it with the YouTube tool.  Click "Share," and a pop-up window will appear.  You have the option of the entire video link for sharing or at a certain point (time) of the video.

So, make your video posts count.  Be descriptive and use the time stamp feature if needed.

There is nothing worse than a lone video in a post that keeps forum members guessing.

Thanks, HH

Edit: Additionally, a nice tip from @Colonel Potter below in discussion:

"You can also right-click on the video if you're on your PC and click "Copy video URL at current time".
