Hello all,
Sorry if this question is stupid (maybe i'm too tired...).
Is it possible to add a video to a post ? A new field ? And in ckeditor ?
Again i'm really sorry if this is a stupid question.
Thanks for your help.
Dominique.

Not a stupid question at all. There are a couple of modules that do this:
video_embed_field
vimeo_link_formatter
video_filter
youtube
Depending on your need.
If you are only embedding from YouTube, I would use the youtube module as the videos are responsive to the page width; I know video_embed_field can embed both Youtube and Vimeo but videos are not responsive.
Hello,
I tried video_filter but there is no ckeditor button ans i can't add a video field.
Oembed add a ckeditor button but only for youtube.
What i want to do is uploading my video.
Interesting. So the videos will be hosted on your server?
I think, but I'm no expert at this, that you will need a player application or to use a file such as webm that play in modern browsers.
I did a bit of experimenting with it a while back but can't find where I did it.
One option for embedding within content is to use Paragraphs. You could have a paragraph type, including heading, video file and caption or anything else if needed. Uploading shouldn't be an issue, you can configure a file field and allow video file types. You could then use the template to create an HTML5 wrapper for the video file.
I haven't tried this so it may not work quite as I've said.
I think it is unlikely that you'll be able to embed with CKeditor in the near future.
The most common way of adding a video to a website is to upload it to a service like Youtube for Vimeo and then use one of the modules that Martin mentioned.
Here are some tutorial videos that might help in such a situation:

I'm not sure the easiest way to upload a video directly to your Backdrop site and then use it as I've not done that recently. I would start by Googling
"How to add a video to my Drupal 7 site" and see if I can find some good instructions. Mostly likely anything you find for Drupal 7 will also work for Backdrop. If it does not work, you might have another more specific question to answer here.
Thanks for all your answers.
I was really tired i think... :-)
Well just add a file field and then in the display tab just choose video as format.
And I tried videojs module : a cool one.
Thanks again for your help.
