How to Embed Videos in a thread

[ellicat]

Step 1. Click the film strip icon.

The boardcode box will then expand to offer further options.

Step 2. Use the dropdown arrow to select the host site (e.g. Youtube)

Step 3. Insert the URL from the host site (or the video number if that's easier)

Click the Insert box.

It should look similar to the pic below.

Hope this helps

Nice ellicat

thanks ellicat, actually you can simply just do Provider and put the ID number and click insert next to it OR you can put the url in the URL field and hit insert.

We prefer the ID method.

[ellicat]

Is the ID the whole v=_blahblahblah or just the blahblahblah ?

So a video with this URL (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=if76G9n3L5c) you just take the part after the = sign which is if76G9n3L5c.

So you place the if76G9n3L5c inside ID box

Even better. Cheers :kiss:

Been searching without luck, and tried to bump a more appropriate thread about uploading videos straight from a computer but it was locked.

The last entry says you will be able to do it shortly, that was about 1 year ago.

Is anyone having any luck, and if so tell me how. I have a video here thats only 19.9m and in .wmv format and cannot seem to upload it.

This old thread is essentially redundant. All you need to do now is post the URL alone.

Greg, A video can only be posted to a thread when it is hosted on another site e.g. YouTube.

You can only upload a video file via your Profile/Videos. It will not however, be able to be embedded in a post/thread.
