Updated post in July 2016

You can add YouTube videos to forum posts by clicking on http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/youtube-video.png when you reply or post a new topic, and entering the code in the YouTube address.

eg for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGOqPzv7WMA the code would be SGOqPzv7WMA

Or... enter the tags eg SGOqPzv7WMA results in...

SGOqPzv7WMA

Additional way.

The old way of putting the whole Youtube link in tags works again.

eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGOqPzv7WMA results in...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGOqPzv7WMA

I was gonna post about this earlier but didn't know if it was definitely new, or if I'd completely ignored it for a while.

Nice addition :thumbs:

It works slightly differently to the OP now (that was 6 years ago), the tags are actually and the only bit of the youtube URL you need is the bit after the = sign, like using the url in the OP you would only need the 'SGOqPzv7WMA'

I modified it today slightly so that the full-screen button should work again (might not have been for some people).

I actually added back being able to put whole Youtube links in the old tags a while ago, so that old videos would work again, but I didn't post I'd done it :hee:. Anyway the method is explained in the first post in this thread, which has been updated.

By the way, the first video to be embedded - with forum codes - on this forum is the one in the original post.
