When trying to share the video that I have recorder, in the gallery there is only option to share it with Bluetooth and eMail. Also there is a possibility to "add an account". Now of course I add an account, lets say Facebook. It says all: you must give the authorization etc. and I accept all. Then everything comes back to the videogallery. Voila! There are only possibility to share the video via Bluetooth and eMail!!! But as a surprise in the Settings->accounts there is seen the new FB account aside with the "old" one... Then there must be a bug or...? In my n9 I can share my videos in Facebook, twitter, eMail, youtube, google+... Then I wait the same kind "service" from my beloved Jolla. It is basically the only bug or mistake that makes me somewhat frustrated with this unique device"!
Update 2015-03-04
Facebook sharing
The double account issue has been resolved in an update, can't remember which one. But still I was not able to upload a video to Facebook. Tried the following:
- Add account
- Choose Facebook
- Authenticate and accept all BS terms and conditions
- An error occured: Account already added
- No sharing option to Facebook
Please add if you are/aren't able to share videos and the steps needed to do so, or what possibly went wrong.
Also it should be taken in to consideration that the message character limit is 140, as stated in here the photo upload is somewhat buggy. I don't have a Twitter account, so someone, please verify this.
YouTube
This is currently not supported, this is(/was) discussed here and perhaps should be made a feature request.
I think the issue is in the accounts handling, not the gallery. Sometimes accounts don't get properly registered, but apparently there's no effective error handling.

The youtube/fb sharing would be so nice as it saves the memory (because can*t decide if the videofile goes to SDcard). Anyone else suffering the same problem?

JarnoF ( 2014-05-20 14:20:09 +0300 )editCurrently we can't share videos through camera/gallery app. Is it okay if we make this a request for adding video sites to the sharing options - and ability to share video to FB as well? We should make a separate a separate thread for the issues with accunt integration. Right now it's a bit ambiguous as a mixture of the two.
