Getting files/videos from WhatsApp into LW?

As above.

You might get more traction in the "computer help" subtopic.
All ways I know of posting involve shrinking things to 800x600 pixels. Hosting files is a different beast, you could try GoogleDrive or something (but then, only people with Google accounts would click on your links).

Just trying to get a short vid from a Chinese factory on WhatsApp into L/W because some peeps won't have WhatsApp.

I googled "how to download data from WhatsApp" and found a few pages. Here's one https://www.imyfone.com/whatsapp/download-from-whatsapp/.

After that, you would have to figure out how you wanted to host the file. It would have to be somewhere that you could hyperlink it like my link above (i.e., on a web server of some sort). Permanent storage will likely incur a per-month cost.

Thanks for trying but it's not that big a deal. Wasn't for my benefit anyway. Was just hoping for a copy and paste sort of thing.
