Mehdi HasanNext Luddite question from me: how do we upload native videos to Mastodon, like we do on Twitter? 🙂
hrbrmstr 🇺🇦 🇬🇱 🇨🇦@mehdihasan i used the paper-clip attachment icon in the message pane to attach this mp4.
@mehdihasan it seems to have converted it to a gif tho O_o
likely need to post youtube/platform links?
@mehdihasan Looks like it doesn't always work native https://infosec.exchange/@triciakickssaas/109310099649306717
And, I suspect size limits are up to each mastodon instance owner.
Safer to YouTube/Vimeo prbly.

Attached: 1 video Hi everyone! I'm triciakickssaas, a content creator in cybersecurity. I like to make parody songs about security occasionally. I'll start by sharing one of my favourites, The [Budget] Confrontation (In the style of Confrontation from Les Miserables)
@mehdihasan and, over on infosec.exchange that video embed worked fine.
so safest path is likely poster image + link to platform video.
