how to embed YouTube videos

<< < (3/4) > >>

Well, the old way to embed would be to use the [youtube] brackets.

The new way is just paste the youtube link, and it'll 'just work'. And not just for youtube, it'll work for most video sites.

The old posts with the old method is currently broken, working on that.

So I'm trying to embed this video


--- Code: ---<object width="960" height="745"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/llzWNdH2se8&hl=en_GB&fs=1&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/llzWNdH2se8&hl=en_GB&fs=1&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="960" height="745"></embed></object>
--- End code ---


Have tried all sorts of different ways.

For example: use the youtube button and enter the url http://www.youtube.com/v/llzWNdH2se8&hl=en_GB&fs=1&hd=1
It works fine in Preview mode - but when I commit the post I just an invalid youtube link error.

How should I embed it?

madsci1016:
You can't embed the video by the embed code you were trying to post. All you can do is just drop the http link that is in your browser window when you view the video.

So just
--- Code: ---http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xfeTQIOHGw
--- End code ---
looks like
LEGO MultiCuber 6x6x6

I really don't like this fact, because it won't let me force options like default to HD.

The problem is all that crap youtube likes to append at the end of a video link. Just delete everything after the & sign.

The mod I use used to allow resolution selection. It was disabled in the version I'm using now for some reason, and the most recent version refuses to install. When I upgrade the forum to v2, I'll reenable this feature if I can.

I can force it to be HD by default, but a majority of people still have bandwidth issues (like me).

Razor Concepts:
It has been bugging me enough lately to post this- these embedded youtube videos dont work on ipod touch/ipad with safari, it just shows up as empty space.
