Q: Can you explain the hybrid hosting? (for videos with interactive elements)
I saw that you mentioned hybrid hosting via Youtube several times to reduce the amount of used hosting space. I don't really understand how this will work exactly - especially if the buttons etc won't work on a Youtube Video?
Could you elaborate on this hybrid hosting topic and how we could use it for interactive videos?

alastair4If this helps.... Upload your video to YouTube. Then take the link from YouTube and add it to the Upload field when creating a video. You then add the buttons onto the video in the SMS-it video creator. EXCEPT - at the moment I'm having heaps of problems uploading a YouTube link or a mp4 video file.
