Rather than just posting a
link to a video on YouTube, it's quick and easy to
embed the video right here, so people can watch without leaving the forum!
Step 1: Copy the video URL linkOn
YouTube, click
Share below the video player then click the
Options drop-down arrow. Tick the
Long link box and then copy the resulting link from the box above.
Step 2: Paste the video URL into your post on the forumNow jump back to your message and simply paste the URL in.
Step 3: Add the tags around itHere's the important part: To indicate a
video embed, you just need to
add "youtube" tags before and after the URL.
Here's how it should look:
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IixoclQKmU[/youtube]
Note the forward slash on the closing tag.
Which will return this in your post:
Et voilĂ - your URL is embedded as a watch-able video in your message!
