If you are new to #mastodon, migrating from #twitter and you love to post videos, please consider posting your video over at a hosting site such as Youtube or Vimeo (others exist). Then post the link, it should show and play in your Toot.
It saves your server from having to store and stream huge quantities of extra data.
I'm going to add into here that federated hosting exists in the form of #peertube as well which is worth a look at. https://joinpeertube.org/

@colorblindcowboy @mojomoomoo I see it as a link, not as an embedded video. Mind you, I'm looking from my Android phone in the Mastodon app. Let me check from my computer

@Grand_Focus @mojomoomoo thanks for checking. I can see it as a video via the mobile browser, but I know the apps all treat media differently.

@colorblindcowboy @mojomoomoo From my laptop, in Chrome, I see the embedded video, with the link directly above it.
