You'll see this post editor pop up:
The "Post now" button won't show as activated until either a video has been uploaded or linked in the post form.
You can click "Upload a video" to select a video file from your computer to upload. Keep in mind:
- It'll need to be a MOV or MP4 file.
- You can post up to 20 videos per day.
- A single video can be up to 10 minutes in length.
- The video upload size limit is 500 MB.
- The total video time limit per day is 60 minutes.
Click the option on the right to paste a video URL. Links from the following sources will work best:

After pasting your video URL, click "Insert" to add it to the post.
It's also possible to post the video URL into the editor without selecting the video block. This will automatically embed your video in the post.
