Before we tell you why you should never upload videos to your UnionHall website, let’s make sure that everyone understands that there is a difference between uploads and embeds.
Uploading or hosting a video means that the video files will be stored in the UnionHall media library the same as an image file. This is the method that we are recommending against.
When you embed a video, you first upload it to a third-party site like YouTube, and then you can easily embed it in your blog posts. The video can be viewed on your website but is stored elsewhere. We strongly advise people to embed videos whenever they can.
