   Hi,

   I use Soundcloud on my blog to enable users to listen to song tracks but what if I wanted to add a short video? Am I correct thinking this is not feasable? Feel sure I would have looked into this when I set the blog up.

   Thanks

   The blog I need help with is redversclark.com.

   Use YouTube or one of the other video players that's approved here. You can find those listed in Support.

   Thank you both for your responses. I had searched in support myself this morning (before I posted) and thought it odd as I couldn't come up with anything. A few hours later I tried again and hey presto I found the info you mentioned straightaway. I cannot imagine what I must have been putting in the search box originally. Weird!

   Was hoping youtube would be ok.

   Youtube is actually the most robust option, as long as you use the shortcode of the form [youtube=URL]

   Thank you raincoaster,

   Hmmm.. I have since copied the dvd to my hard drive and found that it's not been recorded properly so cannot continue to youtube just yet....
