I only discovered the function a few minutes⏲️ ago; and I'll show you how it works.
If you like my articles🧑💻, I would be happy if you would leave a Like ♥️ & Comment🫴!
You have to go to your dashboard:
https://dev.to/dashboard
After that there is a new button with "Upload Video" under the analytics!
You'll come to a dev.to page that looks like this:
Now you can select a video that you want to upload. It will look like that:
After that it looks like before; you can upload a video again. But if we go to our article, here is a draft with the video inside:
You may have to wait a bit longer for the video to fully upload. But when it's done, it looks like this:
I have already included a video in my post on how to activate god mode in Windows 11:
You can also adjust the thumbnail in the field. All you have to do is change the url!
How do you like this function? Have you ever heard of this one!

This helped. Thank You.
I uploaded a video, still waiting after about three hours, and no email. Should I abandon this?
@karenpayneoregon Sorry for the late reply, but when you upload a video, a new article is saved as a draft, which can then be seen on the dashboard. You then have to edit this design.
I hope I could help

No worries on a late reply. I waited three hours in the article draft and no email so I gave up. Can't imagine why nothing happened. A super small video done in Camtasia as a MP4.
My Analytics page has no buttons on it at all — including no "Upload Video" button. Has something changed?
Oh never mind — I see it's on the main dashboard page, not on the analytics page.
Yeah tried and .mp4 3mb a .mov 3mb and a .webm 1mb been 30min but fingers crossed
Hey do you know how to actually embed the video in your post? Once you have published it?
@schbenedikt Can I embed a video to a existing post?
Can you then embed the video in a post? I've been trying now for hours to just get a simple video in my post as I was able to do in the past, to no avail :(
