How to create a video post
Videos are hosted within a post content type with videos inserted in the post.
Videos must be MP4, YouTube or Vimeo, or another allowable URL source to be uploaded or embedded. The user must have permissions to upload a video within the group or space. Video size is unlimited. However, timeouts, loading issues, and lag may occur with large videos over 1GB depending on a user's internet, network, or browser.
Videos are a great way to share information, entertain, or to provide a simple how-to guide.
Remember to use videos from a reputable source that falls within the Community Guiding Principles.
Please note the following about using videos:
- Don't use video that does not come from a reputable source.
- Do not use video to create a specific how-to instruction for using the community. If creating a community-specific how-to, please contact the Esri Community team at EsriCommunity@esri.com to discuss your how-to needs and how we can help.

How to delete your video
Delete the video from your gallery

Click the Options menu (stacked three dots) below the Upload a Video button. Select Delete All Checked Videos.
You can also open the video from your video gallery page to play it or see the stats for the video before you delete it. Click the video from your gallery to open the video.
To delete the video after you have opened it from the gallery, click the Options menu (stacked three dots) and select Delete Video.
If your video is in a post:
Go to the post where you embedded your video and remove the video embed. Update any references to the video in your post.
- For example, if you stated in your post "See my video", edit or remove your reference, or rewrite your scenario to help explain your question or post topic. By doing this, you can help other Esri Community members follow the topic or problem you are trying to solve.
Thanks @Anonymous User ! It's actually not that video, it's a "Hidden" one which I don't recall is actually attached to any post, which is why I can't seem to find how to delete it... thanks for your help, I feel really silly asking this!
Yes.... Big facepalm on my end, thank you!
