How to embed a Youtube Video in your post!

Post by Makotosun »

I was trying to add a video to a post today, and discovered it was not set up on the forum yet. So under the hood we go.

When you open the full editor window now, you will see a new button titled . . . youtube :D

Put your cursor where in your post you want the video to appear, then click your mouse on the youtube tab. Your edit window should look like this:

Go to the Youtube video page you want to embed, and look in the URL address bar for the add code in between the red lines below (note you won't see red lines on your page, they are just there to point out what you are looking for!

highlight the code with your mouse then right click and copy it. Then go to your posting page and past the code in between the two bracketed "youtube" codes. (You can simply type the code in there if you don't like to copy and paste!)

Now when you submit the post, you should see a video like this!


href="http://youtu.be/oT79M3fLogk">youtu.be/oT79M3fLogk

This works better for you reader than simply pasting in a link to the video page, though that also will get them to your video.

Posting up video to a Youtube account is pretty easy and beyond the scope of this tutorial, though if anyone really, really needs it, I might add such a tutorial in exchange for some NOS parts I need . . .

Third time is the charm!

Looks like you had an extra “/“ at the end of your video ID.

Gary, can you clarify what part of this address should be copied and pasted? I have trouble trying to get my videos embedded, I cut out the front part of this address just so not to show the video, but as you can see in the above post Im doing something wrong.

To post the above, go to Youtube, and click on the share button. you should get this popup or similar. you want just the video identification information which I have circled in this picture.

If copying directly from the address bar, you want everything highlighted above but NOT the "&t" part'
