Is the SAP community also supporting video blogs? How could I upload a video? Thanks

Hello thorsten.hapke

I think it does as SAP Blogs is based on Wordpress. You can embed video into your blog post with this button:

Many thanks, I was wrongly thinking of YouTube.

Hi, Thorsten:

As Dominik noted, you can embed videos, but just to clarify your question (because you asked about "video blogs," which leads me to believe that you're asking if a video and a blog can be synonymous)...

A video on its own would not qualify as a blog post, as explained in the "Apply the right structure" section of our blogging resources page.

If you're going to include video, it should complement the content of your post. Ultimately, members should be able to learn something by reading your post. Watching a video should be optional (should they wish to learn more). It should not be the sole purpose of the post.

Members don't always follow this policy, but it remains our preferred approach for blogging structure. (See also our blogging tutorial.)

Kind regards,

--Jerry

thanks for the clarification. I would rather use the transcript as text and so it wouldn’t be complementary. I am checking other options.
