The link to the video isn't in your comment, so I can't advise about it.
To include video(s) in Q-posts is perfectly fine, but what is best is to include a written part with a story of some kind since we are a niche writing corner in the music side of things. Please check the community profile page for what is meant by 'story of some kind', can be a lot of different things.

As I said, the huge written portion is coming in now forty-five minutes, and the video will be in there... in fact it is the key ... but to keep confusion down in the future, I'll pre-post the videos in my own blog some days in advance so they will be ready to go with the written posts in Q-inspired.
Ah ok, now I think I understand you. Am quite slow tonight, so it seems 😂
You could upload to Q, the video I mean, when a little later you add the writeup, PLease make a note for this at the top of the post, or in the post title. We have to accommodate for the missing feature on 3Speak to allow unposted uploads.
The reason for asking this is that I like to prevent others from taking such posts as okay for Q. Personally I like a video to be 1 time on someone's timeline and perhaps is also what you like. When such reasons, therefore the need for a single post, this suggested approach.
I understand and will make a note ... we must protect the community standards, of course.
Here is the main post in question that the video is in, hot off the presses -- https://peakd.com/hive-192806/@deeanndmathews/the-autumn-journey-upward-carried-by-amazing-grace-reasons-illustrated-by-haydns-rollend-in-schaumenden-wellen-with-a-sweet
WOW! That is massive, again!
Just checked your Blog and Post channels.
Why don't you update the text part of the 3Speak video post? Or add the text while preparing the upload of the video? The latter I did whenever I used 3Speak, but this is by now some time ago I used that service. The benefit of this approach: a single post.
When for some reason you like to continue uploading the video in a separate post and use that video to bring your (extensive) stories, please upload the video somewhere outside the Q community. I suppose you may use one of the other music communities with less 'strict' rules on writeups for that.
NJOY today and this coming weekend.
Simple reason: PeakD has drafts, and 3Speak does not. It takes several days to do a long post like that, and that only works in PeakD because PeakD lets me save drafts. I am already started on the next post because of PeakD' capabilities -- there is no way to do that in 3Speak.
I circumvent such problems with UIs and drafting of posts by using a local installation of a markdown editor. Plenty of such editors are available with the benefit that one doesn't have to have an Internet connection when writing. Perfect for some writing in nature or something ;) I have used a local installation of MacDown editor for the last 7 years or so and still continue to use that one. This is for MacBook/Apple. Never tried one for Windows systems, but plenty of them around.
Also, you could consider drafting in PeakD, and copy/paste into 3Speak when preparing the video upload, and when done so, remove the draft from PeakD ;) I know, some of the markdown is different in 3Speak to PeakD, but that can be avoided when getting to know what works and what doesn't work.
I did not know all that was possible -- thank you for the new options!
