  I want to upload a .mov video of file size 5.51 GB (run time 9:34 min.) but WordPress balked, indicating 5 GB is max. allowed. Is there a way to upload it temporarily to allow editing feedback by others?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You could always upload it to another video website (e.g. YouTube or Vimeo) and embed the video on your page. Embedded is allowed from a number of sources.

  *Embedding is allowed, that is.

  Thanks for your suggestions. I tried uploading to Vimeo but it doesn’t allow it there either, the limit being 5 GB, even though I’ve paid for an upgrade. And YouTube takes forever, as I found when uploading a much smaller video file.
