How do I add a video (of my plants) to my post, please? Tried the usual way of adding pics but the site won't accept a video. It plays on Facebook and Messenger but not here.

I had to do a warranty claim this week for a flickering illuminated bathroom mirror and they asked for a video on WhatsApp. Well I don't have a smartphone or other Apple device so I couldn't do that. Then I remembered the laptop we use for crossword help had a camera and video function so I took one for a minute and shared it on OneDrive and sent them a link. Really easy, worked a treat, sending me a replacement part under what I discovered was a 10 year warranty. I would post the link to prove it works but it is pretty boring!
I encountered this problem once when I tried uploading a short video tour of my veggie garden. It played fine on my phone and social media, but the site I wanted to post on didn’t accept it. I converted the video to a different format (I think it was MP4) and uploaded it without any trouble.
I used this free tool I found online that lets you convert M1V files and many other types easily. It might be worth checking it out here: https://www.movavi.com/video-converter/ ... erter.html.
