It could be simple. Just find ANY hosting account and upload video,
and provide link to it.

I use following bash function to convert video to webm:

function video2webm () {
    bitrate=$1;
    shift;
    for file in "$@";
    do out=${file%.*}.webm;
       ffmpeg -y -i "$file" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v $bitrate -pass 1 -speed 4 -c:a libopus -f webm /dev/null -async 1 -vsync passthrough && \
	   ffmpeg -i "$file" -c:v libvpx-vp9 -b:v $bitrate -pass 2 -speed 1 -c:a libopus "$out" -async 1 -vsync passthrough;
    done;
}

then I do like:

video2webm 300k video.mp4

so this way I get smaller video when necessary.
