How to Insert A youtube video in a Post

Post by dozer »

1.) Find the url of the youtube video. It should look something like this:

2.) Copy the URL into your post where you want the video to be 'in-line'.
Example:
Here is my post, blah blah blah



3.) Now highlight the entire URL of the youtube video and then click the youtube button, which is the right hand box above the posting window you are typing in. You should end up with something like this:

[youtube ][/ youtube]
note; space add to the youtube tag in this example so it doesn't turn a video at this point and the example text can be seen.

4.) Here is the example youtube video following the above steps:

Even simpler:

Copy the YouTube link ... click the 'youtube' button ... then 'ctrl/v' on your keyboard to paste the URL; the cursor will already be flashing in the correct place.

'Preview' before submitting to check it's OK.

FUTAB..........
