David N. Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 One of our member is trying to embed OBS video to his posts, is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 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.)

Marc Stridgen Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 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. David N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David N. Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Thank you, I wasn't aware that OBS was a video software. The extension of the file is .mov, the thread is: https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/143863-when-i-deactivate-a-bus-another-bus-chooses-to-automatically-activate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 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. David N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 mov will play only one mac in the browser as it's a mac specific format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marc Stridgen Posted August 12, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 12, 2022 It depends on the browser. Please check this on safari David N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David N. Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 It works on Safari, doesn't work on Chrome. I'll encourage users to use YouTube to embed their videos instead. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 No problem. 🙂 David N. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 You can also use the “Allowed File Types” setting for attachments to prevent users from trying to upload video formats. Marc Stridgen and David N. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
