I don’t have issues with downloaded WYZE cloud videos, just the ones I record to my phone from the SD playback need to be fixed.

I am doing the same and the moment it hits the phone it gets synced with iCloud. I pull the video from iCloud when I post it to the forum.
No issue if I download the or sync from the album. Guess I should reverify on 3.2.x.
Yeah it will work if you download the videos to play them. If you have another program with a special codec or that converts it for you such as Google photos or iCloud. But you should be able to play them embedded inside the forum.
Note that the ones I uploaded here were converted, so they should play directly in the browser okay. But if I had uploaded the original file, you wouldn’t be able to play it in the browser. You would have to download it and have another video app Play it or convert it.

I have posted mine directly to YouTube.
Me too, and I considered it, even for sending them to her in a way that would let her see them, but I’m not sure if she would know how to download them, etc, and even though others will be able to tell who I am and where I live based on the video, I’d rather limit having her expose my youtube account and digital usernames, etc to some psychotic guy who may be mad at me now for sharing this video with people and want to retaliate against me where I live and cyber stalk and digitally attack me online everywhere I’ve ever made a comment on youtube or other such things. Guys like this can go unhinged and target anyone they see as involved in some way.
So: I didn’t WANT to give her my youtube account. She’d share that with her lawyer or the courts, and they share that with his/him, then he’d be more mad me and have more info to harass me for not staying out of it completely. I can already be identified where I live and who I am by giving this video to her, and while I don’t mind taking reasonable personal risks commensurate with doing the right thing to help someone being victimized, I don’t need to overexpose myself by adding additional unnecessary risks. That is why Youtube was not an option to share with her, but I considered it for here…however, the videos were CLOSE to the 5.8MB limit, so I just converted them down to that amount to just directly upload here.

Sorry I didn’t intend you use that as a point of distribution, even you send it as a unlisted link and remove it later. I just thought you were talking about viewing a video without conversion of any type.

No worries. Just thought I’d take the opportunity to explain that I had considered resolving her viewing problems through youtube, then decided that was a bad idea for me to give that to her if she needs to use it for legal purposes where the other party is clearly slightly unhinged. I blame me watching the new “Unhinged” movie on Netflix just before she asked for help.

My Cam 4 recorded the gunshots from a homicide across the street of a vacant property I have.
Got the car driving past to do it.
Also recorded the police coming over, looking up and the camera and saying to each other that they are probably fake or not working since there is no red light on.
I have two cameras connected with a lamp socket.
So when the lamp is off, you would think there is no power.
Cops sent me a SMS, I sent a short clip with the 8 gunshots and the car driving by.
Now I just got a subpoena to go to court as a witness.

That’s dumb, the only thing you can say as a witness is “Yes that was my camera, yes I sent them the video, and no I didn’t change anything. I have no other answers that you don’t know by watching the video yourself the same as I did…” An Affidavit would’ve been sufficient. You’re not really a witness.

OP should understand that helping stranger in the usa is actually not a good idea.
Now you should cross your fingers and toes hoping the corrupted lawyers won’t mention your name in the court.
You may be listed as part of the chain of custody of the evidence (video). They may want you to help document “y es I own the property across the street, yes I have video cameras recording the property next door of the incident location, yes, I was approached by police who requested a copy of said video around a certain time frame, yes, I handed it to officer so and so”. Or something along those lines.
This should not be taken as official legal advice.

Thank you for the concern. I considered this, but I will explain why I’m not too concerned. I’d rather help people within reason, especially if they are being bullied when I’m in the situation I am in to feel fairly safe:
From the legal side of things (since you mentioned corrupted lawyers being the main concern), my father is an attorney, so I wouldn’t have any legal expenses anyway. Plus I worked for his Law firm for some years in the past and his his partners all LOVE me too. “Their corrupted lawyers” can try what they want I guess. I can live with myself for simply passing on videos of something a bully did to intimidate and harrass someone else. I don’t think it would take much for any judge or jury to see through anything they could levy against me in this situation, particularly with the guarantee of a law firm backing me pro-bono for doing the right thing. Plus, while I am not a lawyer, myself, I have had years of training as a legal assistant and as a bonus I don’t actually HAVE to do a job full time. I could easily just retire right now if I wanted and be totally fine financially for the rest of my life and now just dedicate a hundred plus hours a week to legal research for the litigation to bury his lawyers and his legal fees so bad as to make dude’s life hell if he tries to get me involved. If they tried to drag me into it, they’d be biting off more than they would care to handle and probably more than they could afford. I’m really not concerned about the legal ramifications in this case at all. 
Dude would be crazy to be petty enough to get me legally involved in any way, and would have a pretty rough time proving any false allegations without sending himself to prison for such lies. I’m paranoid with extra proof and alibies around here for everything I do. 
I have more than 50 cameras covering everywhere at all times, and use RTSP to store some of them for a long time. And that’s only for my home, not including my away from home alibies and protection. He can try, but good luck to him. I’m going to do what’s right since in this case she made a totally reasonable request and I’m prepared and capable of handling a petty bully.
Anyway, I DID weigh the concern of how the bully could get mad at me, but decided I was reasonably prepared and capable of handling such a situation, and if that was my mom, or wife, or daughter or anyone I loved and cared about being treated that way, I’d desperately want someone to help them too. I want to be the kind of guy that is there for people desperate for help even if I get nothing out of it for myself. The only way I become that guy is by choosing to live that way. If it brings something bad into my life as a consequence, at least I’ll live proud of myself and wish more people would do it too.

Probably there are many people would want to help others people. But because of the legal system in the usa is so corrupted.
So those people would rather not to get involved.
This is the reason my exterior cameras only cover my driveway and yard and not the street.

I could see that as a good reason, but don’t let your dog/cat or kids play in the street or drive your car without a dashcam on your street.

Funny you mentioned that. I was a passenger in a car driven by my daughter while practice driving on a learner’s permit. As we’re turning back into our driveway, I saw another car which looked exactly like our other car.
It was being driven by my younger daughter alone, with no permit and no insurance. She took advantage of our absence to practice on her own!
That was all before Wyze though.
