Reddit: Videos upload possible in different ways

Generally, there are several ways to upload videos on Reddit. There are a few things to know about each:

• The most obvious is to upload the video to YouTube and then paste the link into a Reddit post. The downside is that YouTube videos don't play directly in the Reddit app, they play via redirection in the YouTube app, which discourages many viewers.
• On a PC, you can upload videos directly to Reddit when you create a post ("Image & Video"). However, this is not possible with mobile devices and the Reddit app.
• That's why another external service is most popular: at Streamable, you can easily upload videos from your phone as well, after which the video can be played natively in the Reddit app without having to open another app.

The Streamable route is very common among Reddit users and is always recommended, as it doesn't have the drawbacks of the other methods.
