Overview
Linking videos from other sources is the most common way to get the videos on your site without the need to consider bandwith. Before you can link videos, make sure that your server meets the minimum requirement for linking the videos which are very simple and provided by almost all webhosting providers. If your webhosting provider DOESN'T provide what's necessary for simple video linking, a new provider would be advisable. You will also have to enable videos and have at least one category created.
Most common and easiest way is to link video from Share Box on the activity stream at Front and Profile Pages
First, click on the videos tab as indicated on the picture bellow.
Share Box will then change into form to allow you entering the video data
Enter the video link, say something about shared video if you want to and then click on a Share button
Please wait for a moment until the video is fetched. Once video is ready, the following screen will be presented
At this point, you can still change the video, change the custom description and privacy or even gave up of linking simply by navigating elsewhere.
If you're ready to link video, click on the Share button again
