I'm trying to embed some videos I made and uploaded on Dailymotion, but I can't seem to successfully do it. Is anyone able to throw this old dog a bone?

there a guideline to helping upload videos

https://faq.dailymotion.com/hc/en-us/articles/203790706

dailymotion is not like youtube where you can upload any size, frame, etc.

This site has bbcode tags for showing youtube videos, but it seems there isn't the same functionality for dailymotion.
If you are an administrator on this board and have the proper permissions, you can add further BBCodes through the Custom BBCodes section.
You can ask an administrator if he/she would kindly include [dailymotion] tags. This way you would be able to embed your video in your post, as the youtube ones.

Code: Select all

I'll be honest - I can't recall the last time I've been to dailymotion. I'm not sure it's worth updating and maintaining the forum configuration for such a use.

Then let me be honest too. I've only discovered Dailymotion exists because of this thread...

I was starting to think the same thing. It's just while youtube was going nuts over the the whole "fair use" fiasco, I don't like the idea of uploading anything there.
