Is there anyway to add videos to a thread or do they need to be linked from another website?

I don't know of a way to directly embed them. The problem is that the forum software developers don't want to become BULK file hosts. They can compress images to 500k each or so, videos (depending on length) can easily be a gig each.

You can direct link a youtube video to a post. Youtube account (while they have ads) only require a gmail account to set up in one click. No affiliation, just experience.

Problem is the vbulletin forum software and the plugin for video is very buggy so most forums don't use it, I suspect when @Ryan converts the forum to Xenforo GJ will have that ability to link to videos like H.A.M.B. does.

Taking shorts with Giphy adds a bit of motion while not actually being a video file ....
