Upload videos and other files
Quote from Peter0013 on January 8, 2025, 6:03 pmHi. I wonder how I can make it possible for users to share their videos or other files?
Is it enough to add the formats in the settings for allowed formats, like .mp4, .mov etc?

To upload videos like Youtube, for example, it would be better to type the URL of the video straight into the topic and it will get picked up and played without that video having to reside on your server. If you had lots of people uploading videos directly using file uploads, that is going to create a lot of data to store.
If your users have uploaded their videos to other video platforms, all you need to do is type in the URL of that video and it will play.

Decide on a storage solution (e.g., cloud storage like AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, or local server storage). Set a maximum file size limit to ensure that uploads do not overwhelm your server and to maintain performance.
