google drive videos

EatNYeet

are links to google drive videos okay? like not google docs but just videos shared on drive, because I have one I want to share but I don't want to make a youtube channel

the video in question is a minecraft video and contains nothing that isn't suitable for scratch

Google Drive isn’t allowed to be scared as you can get personal info from it.

I believe that Vimeo may be a viable alternative, however it should be taken with a grain of salt.
If you can find something like CubeUpload, but it supports videos, it should be allowed.

cool

I just viewed it on a second email of mine, went back to the first, and refreshed, and the second email left no traces of being there whatsoever. nobody can comment either, so I fail to see how it can be used to get email names and such

I believe there are settings. It could also lead to private messaging, which is something the ST doesn’t want. There are to many issues with Google Drive, as the SY is rather small, so that don’t really allow them ever.

I found this thing called veed.io.

it seems safe, and doesn't seem to have any of the issues that google drive has.

it's as you described, cubeupload but videos

Why not YouTube? You can use unlisted videos.

Common forum languages (highlight this text and click shift+down arrow for more):

Support - Means someone supports a suggestion, make sure to say the reason when you are supporting a suggestion.
No support - Means someone don't support a suggestion, while it may sound a little mean, it's actually not as not everybody have to support the suggestion you purposed.
Bump - Bumping is a method of bringing a topic back to the front page.
Necroposting - Means bringing an old, dead, topic that nobody cares about back to life, necroposting comes from the greek word “nekros” meaning “corpse”, necroposting is prohibited as it wastes front page space.
Ocular - A website that allows you to search forum posts.
Dupe/duplicate - Posts that suggests the same thing, it's a good idea to use Ocular.
ST - Is short for Scratch Team, the moderators on this site.
ToS - Is short for Terms of Use, a bunch of legal jargon and stuffs like that.
TOLoRS - Is short for The Official List of Rejected Suggestions, it's always a good idea to read it before making a suggestion.
Kaj - A user who threatened to hack Scratch, he later became a legend and people often joked about him hacking posts.

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a ban.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is irrelevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

ExampleScratcher2 (first post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
move (58) steps
play sound [Stock Laughter Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
forever
play sound [Stock Screaming Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
switch backdrop to [internet v]
say [i broke the internet] for (2) secs
turn cw (15) degrees
go to [nearby restaurant v]
next costume
end

ExampleScratcher2 (second post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(out of dorito's) = [true]>
broadcast [eat dorito chip v]
end
say [IM OUT OF DORITO'S!!!!!!!!! :(]
play sound [Scream2 v] until done
forever
turn cw (120) degrees
play sound [Scream2 v]
play sound [we have no dorito's sorry v]
end

are blockspam, and must be reported.

Making it took a while…

Basically, you can see the email address and the people it's been shard with by clicking on the three dots, then details ( i ), then go to the person who shared it's profile picture, and then you can see their email address after hovering over it for a second.
