Quick answer: You can’t upload video files directly into CookBook, but you can embed any public or unlisted video - YouTube, etc. by pasting its URL into the Video link field while editing your recipe.

How to add a video link

1. Open the recipe you want to edit and tap Edit (pencil icon).
2. Scroll to the Video link field.
3. Paste the full URL (e.g., https://youtu.be/abcd1234)..)
4. Tap Save.
5. When you view the recipe, the video thumbnail appears; tap it to play in-app or in your browser.

Want to use your own video?

• Upload it to a service like YouTube (you can set the video as Unlisted for privacy).
• Copy the share link and paste it into the Video link field as above.

Now your step-by-step instructions can include a playable video without inflating your CookBook storage.
