So for us dummies
1.) Click Code
2.) Inside the brackets, change code to youtube
3.) paste the youtube name
4.) Click Code again
5.) Inside the brackets change code to /youtube
Done

I think it is faster to just type out
Less steps, and you can do it from the "quick reply" window.

Testing the embedding thing..

<! :stromberg: ! width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C6b54bZepoA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></! :stromberg: !>

As explained three post up:

Type:


to get:

Well since my behind the scene test became the example, I did try the shortlink first but that didn't work either. This long url I just used was supposed to be the embed link?

Andy, your example shows the pink code bar, is that what I should be looking for?
Us computer unlearned want to know.

My guess is you didn't grab all of the code in the short link the first time.

-> C6b54bZepoA <-

One last try tonight. (Nevermind it will have to be on a different machine).

The "code" in pink is needed to show you what you need to type. I have to wrap it in a "code" block because otherwise what i type would show the actual video and not what you need to type.
Makes sense?


ONLY type the words in the white section of the "code" block. You start by typing the word youtube with the brackets around, then you type the youtube video identifier C6b54bZepoA the you type the word youtube with the brackets around but precede youtube with a forward slash.

Just like shown in the white portion of the "code" example below. It's really as easy as just typing this out:

(b)lHq9s1Sw7xA(b)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHq9s1Sw7xA

Nope ... not (b) ... Look at the example above your post ...

I'll try again


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHq9s1Sw7xA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmVYNV01K-U


See if this works

I think you're missing a letter

Youtube tells me that

lHq9s1Sw7xA

is not a valid video tag ...

Got it!!

It's a bit tricky. Nice work!

I do seem to have problems when the code ends with "=related" (or ends with = anything), I've tried doing it with and without the "=related" ending and still have problems.
What am I doing wrong in this case?


Example:
(youtube)XYZ(/youtube) no problem

(youtube)XYZ=related(/youtube) problem

Embedding youtube videos here only works with the youtube ID tag. You can't add any additional parameters, like "related". That won't work. You need to strip off anything that is not part of the actual ID tag.

Trying Google videos

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-344275451296655274#

[google]344275451296655274#[/google]

Nope.

o.k. im struggling.

youtube is not what it used to be. Now i cant get it to work....

what do i type to make this one work????

I have a bit part in this Video & I have all the Important Helmets

Nope, like this (without any of the other crap, just the video ID inside opening and closing youtube brackets:





https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_goFIeOWPw

what part of this vide is the id tag, im good at doin this, but i cant find the i.d. on this one

i tried every combo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzTRTQkmHpU

HTML parameters are always key=value pairs that are delimited by & ...

In your case "feature=endscreen&v=P7cm7YZT_B0&NR=1" is three key=value pairs:

feature=endscreen
v=P7cm7YZT_B0
NR=1

The video ID is the value for the 'v' key:

Your video ID = P7cm7YZT_B0


Put that into opening and closing youtube tags:



and voila!

Test: oops I still can’t figure out how to post videos.

@sb914
How about you start by reading the instructions in the first post in this thread?


You didn't even try, you just copy&pasted a link to the video ...




All you need to do is type this in your post (without the CODE part, which is just a fancy title for a section that prints code without interpreting it):


Which will show up like this once posted:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkMMj0Ln32s

Use this website to generate the required code:

https://www.tools4noobs.com/online_tools/youtube_xhtml/

Then enable HTML in your post. Either version works.

Well then I guess this confirms what I’ve suspected all along. I’m in idiot!! Lol! I can’t even figure out how to post pictures to my posts on this forum/site. I have gone over the instructions many times…and nothing! I have asked for clarification, no reply. So I give up.oh well…

Victory! Fast forward for Jeff Zwart celebratory donuts!

I don’t see any of the embeds here or the one I tried on my recent thread, what gives?

FWIW, I’m using an iPad and I’m wondering if that is the problem?

Could be. The latest version of Safari won't let me call for a video here. I have to use Chrome. The syntax is simple when you're on a compatible browser. See @sirandy s post #92

Definitely an ipad issue. I was even using chrome on the ipad. I'm logged in from work this morning and I can see all the videos.
I guess on the upside, at least I was linking correctly.

Thanks Ian!

Just reviewing the technique:

iPad? Seems impossible. Posting? Go to different room, turn on computer, wait, learn how to cut and past, fail a few times, hassle. No.
