    hi you guy.

    You can use some video component for joomla to display the video from youtube and some other video website as well as the local video.

    And for pictures sharing, you can also use some gallery component, I suggest a good photo sharing website which is built with joomla,it is http://www.attorneybabe.com/iphone

    I think Simple Image Gallery Pro might work good for you. You could have multiple galleries as image thumbs and it's easy to change the size of the thumbs even within the same article. Then the thumbs when clicked can open in a bunch of different customized liteboxes...where you can even use html code within the lightbox. I believe it has a one time $12-15 usd fee. Pretty slick! I have multiple photo galleries within my custom sign website and simple Image Gallery Pro is probably the one I would use most for tutorials.

    Others I use are the all new RokGallery from Rocket Theme. I also have a Gallery2 Installed, which I plan to maybe phase out as I prefer RokGallery over it and they produce similar results but RokGallery is a joomla native extension where Gallery2 isn't and I had to use Jfusion to make it work in joomla.

    Simple image Gallery Pro << Extension Link (recomended for you)

    RokGallery << Extension Link

    Gallery2 << (not really recomended for joomla use)
