video upload help

January 1st, 2012
howdy and happy new year y'all..

i might be being dumb, but i'm trying to upload a video from youtube via the uploader:

on my youtube video, i have copied the URL from the "share" box and pasted into the 365 upload video box, but it says "invalid URL"
i tried the web page url as well, and it says "could not fetch url"

the youtube "share" URL seems to be broken, or do i need to do something else?
any help on this would be appreciated... cheers!

sometimes you may need to use the long link.

so when you clcik on the link it should give the the option to use the longer one.. copy and paste that one.. hope that works.

also making the video public on youtube sometimes helps too...

@nikkers ...hi, and what is the long link thing ..? !

@sleepdozer57 so when you click on the share button the box will drop and it will have a code, under that box it will have start and long link. click the long link box, it should put the longer code into your share box, then copy and paste that link into the box on your 365 page. and hopefully it will load your vid..

@sleepdozer57 Copy the actual URL from the address bar in your browser, NOT the share box crap as that's usually for embedding video's.
