Allow the upload of video files in microblog posts

Jan Priebe

Currently it is not possible to easily share a video via the mobile app. The widget connector for youtube or vimeo would require to upload videos in an existing channel on third party platforms. In many cases users are recording with their smartphones and would like to share this adhoc.

Hi Jan Priebe, thanks for the input! I really like the idea of mobile users being able to record short clips and directly share them to the microblog when on the go.

Short addition: In order to be able to offer such functionality in Linchpin Mobile, the upload of videos in the microblog must first be integrated in general - there is already a request for this over at https://linchpin.canny.io/microblog/p/videos-in-microblog

Daniel Roller: This would be a really great feature. On desktop I am able to upload videos in the microblog already - and also play them on desktop.

There is no proper thumbnail though, but the grey Confluence File Viewer Image. When I started the other request you referred to, I could not play vids (only download) from the microblog, but that works now. The other request you referred to has been completed with the widget connector. So what would close the gap would be a video upload in the app. And ideally a thumbnail in the microblog post. Thanks for looking into this :)
