Waryaa allows phpbb forum supported videos only, such as Youtube/Vimeo/Facebook etc. If he was more technical he could add a hmtl5 player to his code so we can post any video.

THO, may be you can extend a helping hand to Waryaa/FAH. Can you document how this can be done? Thanks!

I wanted to post some football/soccer videos from other sources, but the limitations of this forum is not allowing it. :down:

Sxb it's complicated because it has to be responsive i.e. each video needs to automatically change dimensions to suit the user's device (youtube already does this). And a lot of other things can go wrong.

Waryaa is far more technical but he's just lazy
