    Uploading a song I've written to Youtube, then posting a link here, is forbidden and would get me banned for 30 days...but is there any allowable way for me to share a song here? I have an Apple computer with a built-in webcam but I prefer using my PC as I find the Apple system confusing and hard to work with. But still, does any tech savvy person here know, having recorded myself playing and singing a song, is there some way to transfer that video to a site such as this one? I have no idea about such things...

    thank you

    Try #######. It's a free and anonymous online recording service and can work on either PCs or Macs. All you do is record and then share the link. Some people have used it to post examples of their music or vocal skills.

    Thank you so much, that was very helpful of you! :slight_smile: A question about #######, though: will they only make the link accessible to folks on sites to which I post that link, or will just anyone be able to access my song? I only want it accessible here at ec, not anywhere else, at present. How does it work?

    Only you have the initial access to the link. Posting on a public forum can mean the potential someone could get the link and share it, but that seems highly unlikely. It's similar to "unlisted" Youtube videos.

    Sounds like a very good idea, actually.

    EC does have a Youtube account, but we (at present, at least) don't use it to post user-submitted videos.

    I agree with the suggestion of #######. It's been used all over on this site.
