Video hosted on external server

If you have your video hosted on external server (Vimeo, YouTube, or any other hosting server), add a link for that video file.

  • Make sure that you files are in mpeg4.H264 (iphone), mpeg4.H263 (android) or 3gp format. Your files should have the ".mp4" or ".3gp" extension. If you do not know how to check your files extension, then you should refer to your OS documentation.
  • If your file isn’t an mpeg4.H264 (iphone), mpeg4.H263 (android) or 3gp then you need to convert it to mpeg4.H264 (iphone), mpeg4.H263 (android) or 3gp . There are plenty of special software and online services for converting video files from one format to another.
