how to attach video file to forum post - richfm - 11-27-2019

I'm trying to attach a video file screen capture of how my wifi reception decreases when I move away from the gateway. I've tried several files with sizes under the attachment limit (under 2 MB), with ogv and mkv formats but get an error message

"Please correct the following errors before continuing:
  • The type of file that you attached is not allowed. Please remove the attachment or choose a different type."
How can I attach this video to a post in this forum?

Best to upload to a site - e.g. youtube - and use the 'Insert a video' button.

Thanks, Luke. That worked. First time I tried it.
