Enabling comments form to upload video
How to enable people who comment on posts to upload a video in their comments field if they wants too?

Or at least the option to add attachments which can be a video file like the case in “discussions” as shown below

Hello @Tajrebatee !
It has now the file's attachment, for videos is better to use the embed button from the editor's panel.

@LeonidS Thanks, two questions:
1.In "post" module, replies do not have file attachment (unless it was just updated) in the "comments" to main post. If so, can you show me how to add it. (the image above is from the "discussion module".
2.Embeding works for videos already online (e.g., YouTube). But how about file that are on desktop or other locations.
Thank you so much for answering this.

@LeonidS Here is forms for "comments" ...I see only options for "Text" and "image" but no "file" or "video" or other choices...

It's possible to enable video (or any other files) attachments in comments by executing the following query and clearing cache in Studio > Dashboard:
UPDATE `sys_objects_storage` SET `ext_allow` = 'jpg,jpeg,jpe,gif,png,mp4,mov,mpg,avi,webm,mkv' WHERE `object` = 'sys_cmts_images'; -

Done, and worked. However, how to make the uploaded files (videos) open in a new tab or pop-up window so person will not move away from original post when open it?

@Alex T⚜️ any suggestion on how to make the uploaded files (videos) open in a new tab or pop-up window so person will not move away from original post when open it? (provided it is cannot be embeded)...
