Utube Videos in posts

@Dan

So if I wanted to embed this video exactly what would it look like? Do I just paste it into the post? Do I have to be in the “source” area?

Example:

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDp65Juibes : 640 : 480 ]

Eliminate the spaces in it. I figured it out thanks to the tipster, thanx

The post from the Welcome Thread I linked you to (which is probably how you found this thread):

Embed YouTube

There is a thread on this here. You can embed YouTube clips by simply using the following code:

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWsx1X8PV_A ] (without the spaces…and make sure it’s plain text)

You can also add sizes for the display by adding that to the end of the URL, separated by colons…so using the same link,

[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWsx1X8PV_A : 640 : 385 ]

would yield the video in a 640x480 resolution. (640:385 is the recommended size)

I don’t know any other way to say “put the url for the video in that syntax without the spaces.”

Maybe,

[view:YOUR YOUTUBE LINK HERE:640:385 ]

?

I’m completely out of ideas.
