Is there some service where I can just upload a video to the web quickly, just to, for example, show somebody a screen recording I just made or something?
Kind of like imgur, but for videos.
I know you can use YouTube for unlisted videos, but that's kind of crude and a bit bloated for such a simple thing. I don't want anything like Gyazo, I want a way to post any video quickly (not just screen recordings), and I especially don't want it to be a GIF.
I quickly upload my videos use:
ShareX — open source program with many features and settings,
Streamable — free video hosting with unlimited uploads for any video formats.
If you are satisfied with the limits, read how to set up and use ShareX+Streamable.
Register on Streamable → install and run ShareX → Right_Click to ShareX tray icon → Destinations
→ Destination settings... → Select Streamable in left bar → enter your Streamable login and password.
Again Right_Click to ShareX tray icon → Destinations → File Uploader... → select Streamable:
After any actions in this section you will have uploaded file on Streamable and link to uploaded file in your clipboard.
In Windows Explorer Right_Click to video file → select and click to Upload with ShareX:
Right_Click to ShareX tray icon → Upload → Upload file... → select your file in Windows Explorer → Open. This method is preferred for me: I save my screen record videos in one folder and I can quickly select it.
Right_Click to ShareX tray icon → Upload → Drag and drop upload... . Now drag and drop your video file to bottom right corner.
