Embedding Youtube Video

[administrator]

Hello everyone,

I have lots of people asking me how to do this so I figured I would post up a quick tutorial.

1. Find the video on Youtube that you want to embed here. What we really need is the URL of the youtube video.

2. You can embed a Youtube video in a post or in a private message so start whichever one you want to embed it in.

3. Embedding the video requires you to use a Youtube BBcode tag. I can't paste the exact tags in here because the software will think I'm trying to embed a video and it then automatically converts the tags so look at this example:

[test1]xxxxx[/test1]

That is what the code will look like. The code MUST follow this syntax or it will not work.

- Using the above example, replace every instance of "test1" with the word "youtube". Make sure the word "youtube" is all in lowercase.

- From the youtube URL that we talked about earlier, cut or copy the portion of the URL that goes AFTER the "v=" portion of the youtube URL.

So for example, if the URL looks like this:

www. youtube. com/watch?v=Vw4KVoEVcr0

You would copy or cut the "Vw4KVoEVcr0" and paste it in the youtube bbcode above to REPLACE where the "xxxxx" is.

This is the final product:
