Uploading a video to a VIN message board discussion is as easy as adding an image!


Start a new discussion or post a reply to an existing discussion (Learn how).

  • Click .
  • Browse your computer to locate the video file you'd like to upload.
    • Tip: If you don't see the file you want, select All Files in the drop-down menu located in the lower right-hand corner of the browsing window to see all the file types in that directory.
  • When you locate the file, click to select it.
  • Click Open.
    • Note: You can also drag and drop the selected file into the Attach Files button.
