New Forum Feature - Embed YouTube Videos.

There has been a new feature added to the forum that allows you to embed you tube video directly into a post so that you can watch them right from the thread.

All you have to do is either use the entire URL or just the video ID along with the tags: [youtube][/youtube].

Here's an example:
Use the video ID from the YouTube URL in your browser.
For example, http://youtube.com/watch?v=U-lt3vVA-4I

[youtube]U-lt3vVA-4I[/youtube]

Also, you can double click on the video window embedded in the thread and it will take you to that video on the YT website.

Please keep the videos posted in the general forum hammock related. Non hammock related videos can be posted in the Member's Lounge.



Big thanks to angrysparrow for adding this feature.

Nice, now to test it...

You can now also embed Google Videos with the use of the [gv]video ID number[/gv]

Usage - [gv]-4559510005057780538[/gv]

I added the You Tube button to the advanced editing screen. Simply click the button and then insert the video ID# (see first post).

That could be very, very, very bad! :scared::scared::scared::lol:

That's great HC4U. Now I don't have to go searching for these instructions every time I do it. Memory ain't what it used to be.

Thanks.

Huh ... searching for what? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very KEWL!!!

Bump, seen a lot of first time videos that were links instead of embedded. I posted my first videos recently and found this info for having the video in the thread as opposed to just a link

It doesn't like me I have tried in 10 times my most recent video and white block shows up and thats it .

Bump, I had to search this up and will be trying to use it to help post the Linville Gorge hang videos soon

TZ

Bump again

Had to search this up again, I guess I need to do videos more often

Okay, I'll try it.....



Work??

Nope. Can't figure this one out. I can just put the embed code from YT in the post, but it doesn't show the video window. Maybe after I view the code it might.

Here's a test:

Takes me right to YouTube for viewing, but the window doesn't show here.

The code for that video is UP9CoAaO9oQ. In your post above, you only used part of it - UP9CoAaO

So, your YT link should be - [youtube]UP9CoAaO9oQ[/youtube]

D'oh! Another "SUE!" (Stupid User Error)

~ Thanks for that!

One more try, with further education from Angry Sparrow.



:: fingers crossed ::

IT WORKS! IT WORKS!! Now THIS is pretty friggin' cool! Thanks, sparrow!!!

Okay guys, C'mon! Put some vids together, and make this a more interactive experience! (Not you, Shug. You have it down!)

~ Sky

Pretty great feature, even though I don't do videos, I often will link to others videos. Hopefully I'll remember this when I need it....my memory ain't what it used to be either.

Hope this helps))))))
