This is a short guide to linking your video from other sites
Most Video linking simply works by highlighting the URL (web address), then copy & Pasting that link into "*Video URL" box.
Some sites will have a "Share" button that when clicked will reveal the "share link"

Additional Help for sites without a easy share button
Some sites don't offer an easy way to link the video. You may see an embed link that will show you a huge line of code. This code is really used to put their video on your own website, but not to worry, you can still use the video. Just follow these simple instructions below:
1.) Click the embed link and copy that code (Note: some may automatically copy the code onto the clipboard for you). Open "Notepad" on your computer (DO NOT use Wordpad or any other office program, they do not render the code correctly).
2.) Paste the entire code into Notepad
3.) You will need to find this code http://www.break.com/index/ballon-bass-and-box-jam.html (this is a sample, yours will be a different name)
5.) Select a good category and select the "Link Video" button.
If done correctly you should now see a thumbnail image for the video on your video page.
