Can video be embedded in the forum area?

Hello all,

I looked and looked thinking that this question had probably already been asked somewhere but couldn't find it...

I want to add video files to forums so that students can view videos of themselves and their classmates but I'd like them to play embedded in the browser but can't get it to work.

If I add the video as a 'resource' and link to a file, then the video will play in the browser (FireFox & Safari) but inside the forums the browser (both Safari and Firefox) want to download the video to the desktop and then play it.

I'm using movies that were created with Mac software and are in the .mov Quicktime format.

Any advice will, as always, be greatly appreciated. smile

Jason
