So how can you post a video on Ask?
You must link to a video stored on a publicly accessible web server i.e. the video should already be available and viewable online.
You cannot post videos stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor videos stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc.
