Today I learnt that; sharing a video file which is over 15mb, is currently not a good idea.

Sometimes when you share a YouTube link on Twitter you end up sharing just the link: no embedded video. Why is that?

One reason is the link has not yet been cached.

An easy fix, PING! Refresh the page and Twitter will have cached the link.

Is a picture worth a thousand words?

Maybe. Then this picture is a thousand words on what you should NOT do on YouTube.

What's your view? Comments here also show on the related blog post.

My favourite Twitter fail and reply

This is from a while back when new people, who clearly had no clue how to use Twitter, were routinely put in charge of the FordUK account.

Great image response. 😂

Twitter not embedding YouTube videos

I can't find any official response, but there are plenty of people asking why YouTube video links no longer embed the YouTube video in tweets where a YouTube link has been shared.

Fingers crossed this isn't permanent 🤞

Geo-tag OR Hashtag?

YouTube currently seems to allow you to Geo-tag a video OR hashtag a video, but not do both.

Bizzarly it seems that although YouTube's instructions with hashags are to add them in your video title or description, it appears that inclusion on the hashtag landing page is dependant on the hastag showing in the video chin, the small space below the video just above the video title.

The chin is where any geo-tag you have applied to the video shows and applying a geo-tag prevents any applied hashtags from showing in the chin.

So, it's really a choice of either or and for me in this use-case I dropped the geo-tag so that the video does get indexed for the hashtag page.

I'll seek some clarity from YouTube about this, as it would be helpful to be able to geo-tag AND use hashtags.

'Age-Restricted' - YouTube

YouTube is now flagging content as part of the upload process and the algorythim may be a little keen. I had my latest video automatically 'age-restricted' though I cannot see how or why it may have triggered the algorythim.

The communication I recieved states that "our team has reviewed your content" though that cannot be the case; it has to be algorythimic I'd say.

If you're over 18 and logged into YouTube you can view the video here. I'd be interested to hear your best guess; what do you think could have triggered the flag?
