Hi, I want to post a thread and attach a video of my boat making an odd noise which I’d like help with diagnosis on but it seems reluctant to attach. It’s 3.2mb. Is the file size too big?
TIA

I think what people generally do is upload it to YouTube and post a link to that.

Exactly ... upload to Youtube and then use the "share" link generated ... paste that link in the post you make ...

I have used Clideo in the past and some other app that I can no longer remember...it did work (if I recall correctly)

There are various online hosting that can do it ... but the three most known (IMHO)
Youtube is the well known one and possibly the most used ... ( I use this as its designed for video ... ) Free
IMGUR - like many others - is an image hosting site that can upload videos as well ... sadly - the latest update has created an 'album' glitch - but I still use it for my images .. it can be free or paid ... I moved to IMGUR when Photobucket changed its plans ..
Photobucket - this was very popular Image and Video upload site until change of 'owners' - then they changed the hosting plans and many cancelled their plans when fees skyrocketed ... I still have photos there - but only because of the sheer volume of photos I uploaded over the years ... Apart from the plan fees - the worst factor is if you want to retrieve your photos and close the site ... they make it difficult !

If you host it on YouTube first, doesn’t that mean the whole world has access to it...rather than a closed site like the Lounge ?

Only if you accept open listing ... you can apply restrictions :
1. Only those you invite to watch
2. Only those who subscribe to your channel
3. Open - all public viewing.
Which is pretty well standard for most hosting sites anyway ..
Edit : Added after 'Like' below ...
If the video is that sensitive - why is it being uploaded to a site then ??
There are two criticism's of Youtube for me since recent changes on YT :
The extreme level of copyright checking that can at times fail to accept GNU / Free music you add to videos.
The recent automatic 'fuzzying / de-focussing' of some sensitive parts of videos ... so that the 'woke' community are not offended by scenes of sensitive / brutal nature. This can destroy the point of a video for example historical events etc.
