Putting videos IN your post
Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2014 8:58 pm
Obviously some of you already know this, but since I just figured it out I thought I would share.
If you want to put a YouTube video IN your post, instead of just a link...
Find the video you want to post from YouTube. The address will look something like this...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVjezsQfrW0
Highlight and copy the characters after the =
(this one is gVjezsQfrW0 )
Start your post. Where you want the video, click the youtube button to the far right above the text area.
(you'll see what I'm talking about when you start your post)
The cursor will be within the brackets... paste the characters you copied.
In my example it will look like this...
[youtube]"gVjezsQfrW0"[/youtube]
...minus the quotes " (I had to put those or it would have actually shown the video).
That's it. Hit preview to make sure everything looks ok.
