How to post an online video (youtube etc.)

Post by mundaire » Wed Aug 12, 2015 4:54 pm

Thought I'd post a quick "how to" on this subject.

1) First up start a new thread by clicking on "post new topic" or reply to an existing thread by clicking on "post reply".

2) Type out your post and paste a link to the video on a new line. For e.g. lets try and embed the guns for peace video from YouTube, the link to the video is , so we paste this link on a new line within the post

Code: Select all

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5B56tmPm3g
3) Select the entire url and click on the embed video icon on the top right hand corner (see attached image),
embed_video.jpg
the link will now look something like the below example:

Code: Select all

[BBvideo=560,315]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5B56tmPm3g[/BBvideo]
The embed video button should recognise links from most video sites and adjust things appropriately, without need for any tweaking from your end.


Once you submit the post the video should now appear in the post as displayed below

Nice, the interesting difference I notice is that the actual link also shows up before the embedded video image...unlike before.
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!
