Site Does Not Allow Uploading Videos

[Urben]

Wincen did a statement about that some time back:

@Hichkas

@wincenworks I have another question. Can you let us upload video files (mp4 for instance) but with the volume limit of 4MB like image formats? It makes things easier with sharing smaller video files, usually short and less than a Megabyte, and it still won’t devour the disk space of your host due to the size limit.

@wincenworks

It’s actually more a bandwidth issue, bandwidth costs me more than hosting does (uploads go into the Amazon cloud), I am old enough to remember the old days when that was standard and some people’s sites went under due to bandwidth leeching.

That and historically there have been issues with just embedding images, them upsetting people with autoplay, surprisingly them with volume/dialog, etc.

Which is probably why they’ve done best on sites just for short videos like Tik Tok (and Vine… RIP)
