Arie, you can add a video by pasting a link into the Newsfeed. This will generate a summary with title and video, like in Facebook or Google+ .

Arie it is a bug that Oxwall doesn't fix for a long time !!! It is about privacy plugin issue. If you set Friends only. Then you can NOT see your post on YOUR newsfeed !!! Only solution is you must setup privacy setting to (Everyone).

Again thank you Kelvin and defender for the replies.
I understand and it's a shame that this bug isn't fixed yet!!
But i must say that Oxwall looks and works great.
I have been using Dolphin for years now but i am thinking about switching...

Arie, thank you for positive comment.
Concerning to your issue, we can't reproduce that on our test website and demo. Do you have installed the third-party plugin "Attachments"? If so, please disabled it and check whether still be the issue with video link in the Newsfeed.
In case this issue was connected with this third-party plugin, it means that is not the Oxwall bug or issue. You should contact this Attachments plugin developer directly to resolve your issue.
Otherwise, please provide us with more detailed steps how to reproduce this issue on the demo.

Dear oxwall team.
Why not share a direct link.
an example:
site Youtube link+copy video link+past my Newsfeed=
video image & play.
copy and paste method can keep users on the site longer and I think
video link sharing
image link sharin
Users should be able to share and receive connection from any site
an example: youtube + facebook + news site + sharing useful site links

Serkan Bekiroğulları, if I understand you correctly, you would like to have a possibility to paste the links within the newsfeed comment area and the system should grabs the photo or video and description.
If so, we already have this feature. Please see the attached screenshots.

Serkan Bekiroğulları, have you installed any plugins recently? If so deactivate them and deactivate all third-party plugins and try again.
Switch to the default theme and try again, check if the issue persists (always do the testing on default theme, please).
Check your Firebug console in Firefox for any JS errors, if there's any, please provide a screenshot of the error. See this tutorial: https://docs.oxwall.org/faq:parse-error-troubleshooting.
And also enable debug mode. You can do it using this manual: http://docs.oxwall.org/plugin-tuts:enable-debug. ; If there are any errors, post the error message here.

Serkan Bekiroğulları, please check if the issue persist on our Demo. If yes, then provide us with the exact steps how to reproduce the issue on our Demo. If you can not reproduce the issue on Demo, most likely the issue occurs because of third-party plugins. In this case to investigate the issue you will need to deactivate all third-party plugins. Otherwise we can not assist you.
