Can OBS video be embedded in a post?

[David N.]

One of our member is trying to embed OBS video to his posts, is that possible? 

[opentype]

The question isn’t clear. OBS (“Open Broadcaster Software”) is a video software, not a file format. The software would have to export a video as something like an mp4 file, which then can be embedded like other attachments. (Whether it will will play will depend on the support of the format and video codec on the side of the viewer.)

If this is something else you are referring to, please let us know. However if it is that software, then as opentype mentions above, you would need to export it.

Thank you, I wasn't aware that OBS was a video software. 

The extension of the file is .mov, the thread is:

The video works for me on a Mac, but like I said: support will vary, when the video is directly embedded in the post. Using YouTube or Vimeo is the safer option.

mov will play only one mac in the browser as it's a mac specific format.

Ok thanks, however here on my Mac the video doesn't embed in the post, is that normal? When I try to edit the post I linked to, and click the "insert" link to insert the video into the post, a black movie frame appears in the post as if it had been embedded, but once I save the post that disappears and I'm back to seeing only a link to the .mov file. 

I just wanted to double-check to make sure that's normal behavior. 

Thanks!

It depends on the browser. Please check this on safari

It works on Safari, doesn't work on Chrome. I'll encourage users to use YouTube to embed their videos instead. Thanks!

No problem. 🙂

You can also use the “Allowed File Types” setting for attachments to prevent users from trying to upload video formats.

Got it, thanks!
