Download Video to your Computer hard drive
In NT, go to your own Member name at the right of the top of the page to open your own Home page

Click on Video on the tab bar

Then click on the + icon to the far right on the blue VIDEO bar to open the window to create the video

Give the Video a name on the Name bar

If you want to create an album of videos, then give the Album a name

Then next to the Video file name click on Upload a New Video

When the Video link is loaded, click on the Create tab at the bottom to create the video.

Then navigate to the folder where you have your video and select the video you want to post
      NOTE : the video extensions must be such as .wmv, mpg, etc. so that it will be accepted. If it is not, there will be a list of sample video extensions that it will accept
Once you have posted the video, it may take a few minutes for it to show up in the comment window, depending on your upload speed with your Internet provider.
After a few minutes go to the comment window where you want to post the video and click on the Media icon next to the Smiley icon to open the Media window.

Then select Video on the top bar.

Once it opens you should see your video listed there with your name. If not, check back in a few minutes to see if your video is there yet, as it may take several minutes to show up.
When you see your video listed there with your name, click on the Embed This Media tab to the right of your video and name to embed the video in the comment window. You will see only the link to the video and not the video itself at this point.

You will see only the link to the video and not the video itself at this point.

Then Post your comment and the video should appear.
I hope this helps.

I have seen that some folks here on NT are not aware of how to embed YouTube videos here on the new site.
For those who need help with this, I am posting the steps here for you.
Find the YouTube video you want to insert
Click on the   Share   tab in gray under the video

Click on the   Embed   icon to present the URL. Copy the link in the window which displays the link by clicking on the   COPY   in blue at the right of the listed URL

Go to the comment window where you want to post the video
Click on the icon to the   left   of the Smileys icon to open the insert bar

Select   YouTube   at the top of the bar

Enter the copied link to the video you selected to share in the   URL   bar

Click on the   Embed This Media   tab to the right of the URL bar

[Before you post your comment the embedded link is all that will appear in the window, the video will not show]
Then post your comment. Once you post the comment the video will appear.

I hope this helps.
