Embed a you tube video

[Andrew2382]

How is it done?

Is there a command or function I have to put before copying the embeded link from you tube?

What's "videoid"? The URL?

I think it's the video id Bob - like in youtube where the video has its own unique id number - whole heap of numbers and letters.

OK - I'll try inserting a music vid. Let's see....

One of my favorite songs! My nephew played/sang it with the band at my brother's wedding on Saturday night. Rocked the house!

Then said it was for his aunt jill.

That's totally true! He did this amazing job. I was sooooooooo proud of him.

My own personal rock star. lol...




But I'd have thought it terrific even if he didn't do a great job. The fact he did was a bonus.

On the YouTube page, there's a grey box on the right hand side. Towards the bottom of that box are 2 fields. One says 'URL', the other 'Embed'.

In the embed field is a load of info about the vid, starting with stuff like width and height. Copy all that into your post as described earlier in Manuel's post (the bit about [youtube]}

Now all you have to do is copy and paste the url and it automatically embedds it for you. Thank you, DanK!
