Notice Board (Visitors Enter Here) / How to Embed Youtube Videos
PI2C asked how to embed Youtube videos. This is the procedure:
When creating a new post, you will see a button with the icon .... Click it. Once clicked you will see in your post the following:
Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200][/flash]
You can change the 200,200 values above to increase/decrease the size of your video to suit your needs.
Now copy the video URL you want to post. You should have something like:
Code: [Select]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e6m0VbgSGc
You will need to slightly edit the URL to work. This is how you do it:
Paste the URL between:
Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200]
and
Code: [Select]
[/flash]
Now replace “watch?v=” in the URL with “v/’ and your final string should look like this:
Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/v/5e6m0VbgSGc[/flash]
Which will give you a result like this:
[flash=200,200]http://www.youtube.com/v/5e6m0VbgSGc[/flash]
Increasing the:
Code: [Select]
[flash=200,200]
to
Code: [Select]
[flash=400,400]
Will give you this:
[flash=400,400]http://www.youtube.com/v/5e6m0VbgSGc[/flash]
Now play my Youtube submission and thank me later for enlightening you...
