Thank you very much for all the info. When I tapped the gallery/media link you posted, I got an "Oops we ran into some problems; you do not have permission to view that" message. If I can't load video from gallery, I will hopefully figure out how to load video to YouTube and link that within article. (I've never done it before, but from what others have said it sounds pretty easy.)

Try again.

Ok so I tried again. Within my "Edit Article", I clicked "Attach files."
Then under "Choose an action", I clicked "files."
Then I clicked "gallery"
Then "videos"
Then I tapped the video I wanted to link, then tapped "done."
After the video uploaded, the message said "The uploaded file does not have an allowed extension. The following extensions are allowed: 2020220_174856.mp4"
Then when I clicked the above "allowed extensions", I got sent back to my "edit article."

I've always read where people say videos have to be uploaded to YouTube before they can be posted on BYC, and was glad to know that videos can be posted direct instead of going through YouTube. Do you see any steps I can do different that would allow a direct upload from video gallery to BYC?
