New feature: video!

15 Recommendations

I am pleased to announce that we have updated Inspire to support video. You can now share a video of yourself, videos that you find inspirational or informative, and more. I've included one of myself here:



Videos can be included in discussions and journal entries, as well as in your profile in the "about me" and inspiration sections.

To share a video that's already online, visit the video's home page and look for a section named "embed" or "share." You should see some code that you can copy and paste to post the video elsewhere. Just paste that code into your post or profile here. You can share videos from YouTube, Flickr, Google Video, Yahoo! Video and more. If we don't support a site that you think we should, just let us know.

If you want to record and post a video of yourself, there are many sites that provide video hosting. Flickr is one that a few of us at Inspire know and like.

Feel free to share a video that you find inspirational in a reply to this post :)
