[george]

We do not accept direct links to Youtube videos here, only embedded videos.

If you want to post a video from Youtube here, just follow this instructions to embed the video:

For example, if the Youtube.com video URL is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87XesTKy0ro

Post like this:

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87XesTKy0ro[/media]

The result is shown in the next post!

Please specify what platform you using? ThaiVisa is on IPB. Codes vary depending on type of forum software.

Let's assume you using IPB, version 2.0 and above.

Go to Admin Control Panel and click "MANAGEMENT" bar on top.

Scroll down and look for:

Custom BBCode Custom BBCode Manager Add New BBCode

Click on Add New BBCode

i'm using e107

Version 0.7.15

[CroBiker]

Not familiar with that software.

Better go here, join the forum and ask:

youtube search result:

thanks crobiker...

This code makes the video show up:

[youtube]87XesTKy0ro[/youtube]

It does???

It didn't for me -- not in this new post: Thai Visa post with video link

All that appeared was the "code", not the video from YouTube.

Is there a secret code or something?

Please advise what I did wrong.

Thank you.

Do these instructions need an update? I followed them but they did not work.

I just posted a direct link to a youtube in a different forum topic and it came up

as an embedded video.

George,

I have no problem with following TV forum rules, but could you provide some of the reasoning behind it? Is it some legality with YouTube that requires the embedding?

[bifftastic]

I use the 'insert media' tool in the reply window, on the far right of the tools

seems to work for me.

I'd also be interested in knowing exactly why the direct links aren't allowed .

Looking at the date of the OP I would say the Insert Media function was added later. Just not been updated. Anyway this function makes it a lot easier.

Ah! well someone's awake! I didn't spot the date, thanks

That is the method now since the last major forum software upgrade. Thanks to bifftastic for outlining the new, simplified technique.

It's difficult to know what the link is going to without having to actually go to the youtube site to check if it is suitable or not. Embedded, we mods can tell quickly if it is naughty or not.

That is definitely the magic button. TNX's for the heads up.

Thank you.

The original instructions at the top of this topic is no longer valid since the board upgrade. Now use the Insert Media button as explained above and post the "full" URL or link in the popup box. The URL should look like the below and not what you are using above.

I found a solution. I was so inattentive. I did not notice small detail. Besides using Youtube code I can use the full link and "media" button. Sorry for the inconvenience (and asking in rule topic instead of using "technical" one)

It would be helpful to people if the older posts carrying out of date information removed from this thread?

just testing

[8milesfromhome]

Yes. You will need to get a few more posts (don't know how many) under your belt before you can post links etc.

i've found the best way to embed youtube vids now is to click the little 'special BB code' button third from the left in the tools above. Then click media and paste a 'non HD' link into the box. When you post it it appears as an embedded vid.

Like this.

I just did it that way but it appeared twice in my thread.,

[Tywais]

The OP information is outdated. You only need to copy and paste the full YouTube URL to embed it in a forum post. No need to use the media meta tags now. Example:
