@elmaliante88 A simple link will tell the browser to download the full file and start playing it - which works fine for very small videos. For larger videos it takes too long to download the file before it can start to play. The easy way to post large videos to your web site is to load the video into a service like YouTube and use the Embedding Code provided by the service in your Joomla pages.
