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
- Open the recipe you want to edit and tap Edit (pencil icon).
- Scroll to the Video link field.
- Paste the full URL (e.g.,
https://youtu.be/abcd1234). - Tap Save.
- 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.
