    What are some other good video file hosts that I can use?

    Google Drive is free, and you can upload videos from your phone or computer directly to the app, then get a link that you can share with others.
  • Question
    Can have a video (YouTube videos) play in the call so we could all see it?

    Yes, you can. One of you will need to be using Discord on a computer so you can use the screen share feature. When everyone is in a call, anyone using Discord from a computer will have the option to "go live", which will let them share their screen. Then, the person who's sharing can open YouTube and play the video. You'll be able to see their screen until they stop the share.
  • Question
    Is there a way to not upload it YouTube or any other video hosting site?

    In order to send larger or longer videos, you'll need to either use another application or pay for Discord Nitro.

    Double question. First question: how do we do this for someone else's video? Second one, can we do this on mobile?

    If you want to share someone else's video, have them get you the link to their video. Then, you can copy and paste their link and send it to whoever you need to. To answer your second question, yes, you can do this on mobile.
  • Question
    When I send a video, it won't let me view it, I have to download it to view it. What do I do?

    It may be because the video file is extremely large, or that your video isn't in the right format and Discord doesn't recognize it. Make sure your video is in an mp4 format -- there are plenty of sites that you can use to convert it if it's not -- then try again.
  • Question
    I took a snippet from an anime, will I get in trouble for copyright? I tried uploading it to YouTube and got denied.

    If you post it to YouTube, it could get denied because of copyright issues. However, if you upload it to your Google Drive account, you won't have to worry about your video being taken down.
