# Can I add a video to my recipe?

| **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`).](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.
