Can I download a video directly to the portal, or must I use a Youtube URL? What format is best for direct download?

I want to add videos to the pet's descriptions. I use the Pet Adoption Portal. Must I go through Youtube to add a video? Can I just add it directly to the description without a Youtube URL? What would be the format to use for this?  Thank you for  your help.

      Hi Sandy, 

      You can add videos directly to a pet. Currently, only the following video formats are supported for upload to RescueGroups.org: MPG, MPEG, 3GP, AVI, MOV, MP4, WEBM, FLV, WMV.  Also, the maximum video size is currently 80 MB.  

      To upload a video from a pet's page:

      1. Be sure you are logged into Rescuegroups.org like in this article: Logging into your account
      2. Pull up the animal that you want to add the video for.
      3. From the animal's media menu, click the Upload a Video for this Animal button.
      4. Click the Choose File button to navigate to the file on your computer or device.
      5. Select the place in the order where you want this video to be listed, for instance, first.  You can reorder later.

      6. Click either the Upload a Video for this Animal button or check the Add Another and then click the Upload button.  By checking the  Add Another box, the image or video will save and you will be returned to the upload menu to upload another file. 

      For more information, please see our user guide article: How to add pictures and videos to animal pages

      Sincerely,

      Karen
