OOAK Table Tennis Forum

As I still see numerous post with links to youtube videos, but not embedded, I assume most people don't know how to do it, as embedded video are much easier to watch as they are within the post, instead of having to go to another site to watch them.

To embed the video, the URL must be in the following format:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtN1YnoL46Q

If the video you want to embed is not in this format, go to youtube to watch the video, which usually shows you the right URL at the top right. If there are extra bits on the end of the URL, such as "&features" or other terms, you can just chop them off. All you need is the code in the ULR (shown at the end in the URL above, and the url to start with "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Once you have the URL in the format above, paste it into the post, then select the text, and then press the "youtube" button at the top of the edit screen. That's it!

Note also that the start must be http, NOT https. If you URL has a https, you can simply removed the "s" and it will still work.

Try it, and if it doesn't work, the mods or myself will still fix them anyway, when we see them.

When there are several videos in a thread I have on some occasions chosen to only provide the links, just to save "screen real estate". No point if they are subsequently edited, though, so I'll embed everything from now.

I never meant to impose this task on the mods. Sorry!

I thought I might just bump this thread, so that a few more people will see it.

Biggest problem I've had trying to embed my YouTube videos is that I've copied the link whilst still logged in to my YouTube account. This means I'm copying over "https://www.youtube.com/......". Note the "https - the additional "s" indicates it's a secure link and it's secure because I'm logged in. If I post the link with the "s" in, it won't play the video back in my post. Now if I'm embedding video's I either copy the link when I'm not logged in to my YouTube account and paste that, or I knock the "s" of "https".

I get it wrong the first time quite often too... I just need to edit my post to see what I did wrong.

Just a little reminder, for those that are not aware of how to embed a youtube video in their post... see the first post in this thread.
Of course a link to the video is fine, but it does look a lot better if the video can be within a post...more people are likely to watch and respond as well.

Thanks very much for tell me about this Task that how to Embed a YouTube Video in your Post. I was also want this thing from many Days.

what is the format for the YouTube link if you want a video to start at a certain point? I have seen NextLevel use it, but I have given up experimenting...

There isn't one AFAIK, unless I create one.

It's probably best to just post the video in the normal format, and state the time you want people to view. It's easy enough to just scroll to it.

ah - I see what NextLevel did - he put the link to the video, didn't embed it

thanks Alex

If there is enough interest, I can find a way to make this embeddable. I already made a special one for posting youtube playing lists.

Hmmmm.....

Yeah, embedding with the URL variable t=xxx doesn't work.

There isn't a way to edit the HTML like there is with other BBS software (e.g. Moodle). If there were you could get the tags you need to embed any sort of video and just paste it in. For this video you'd embed:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FBls1g27Sao" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

No, allowing any type of code like that would be a huge security hole for the forum software. I can create the embed using a bbcode, which would then appear as an additional button above the edit field (like the youtube button).
