Videos in Groups are not appearing | Forum

Hi guys,


My problem is if anyone add a video inside a group, the video is going to "Videos" tab and appears in Newsfeed but not inside the group where it was posted.


Can you take a look at this?

Daniel, where do you insert the video? Forum or Wall? Do you embed or just use the URL of the video?

Hi Ross, the problem is that if you choose to show the newsfeed in groups instead of "The Wall", when an user insert a link for a video, this is passed directly to Videos and showed in Dashboard but not in the group newsfeed.


Is there any easy solution for that?

First of all, the video link inserted in the status of the Group newsfeed, indeed passes the video to the Video section of the website, this is how it works currently. 


However it should be also displayed in the group newsfeed. 


Please provide a screenshot how the video is displayed in the group newsfeed?

Hi Ross,


The video does not display in the group newsfeed at all.


That is the problem, only is showed in main newsfeed (dashboard) and in videos.

Hi Aliia,

I bought video for groups several days ago due to this, now the problem is that when a vimeo link is placed in newsfeed or video(normal plugin) the thumbnail does not appear, you have to edit the video and place the embed code for second time to adquire the thumbnail


Thank you.
