Add YouTube videos to forum posts
 

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 [yt][/yt] tags eg [yt]SGOqPzv7WMA[/yt] results in...



Additional way.

The old way of putting the whole Youtube link in [youtube] [/youtube] tags works again.

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

Whey! I was trying to do this earlier today!!!!

Fantastic addition James :thumbs:

Brillaint addition! Thanks James :thumbs:

I'm surprised it wasn't added sooner actually :laugh2:

Its really really strange coz today I was wondering how to post youtube

but thanks James!!!!!

It's a very welcome addition to the forum :)

Ooooh thats sooo cool! Thanks James.

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:

Oh Awesome Addition, Thanks James!
Does that mean we can put youtube videos in our signatures?

Great addition.

Wicked now we can stop doing links that people wont click on :spin2:

Wow a post that isn't about a certain HM

It works slightly differently to the OP now (that was 6 years ago), the tags are actually [YT][/YT] 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'

Arneldo :lovedup:

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 [youtube][/youtube] 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.

This doesn't work! :(

Okay, I will give it another try...

Nothing again :(

put up the link you are trying to post the only bit of the youtube URL you need is the bit after the = sign

ESCargy do it like this:

[YT]hLQl3WQQoQ0[/YT]

or

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLQl3WQQoQ0[/youtube]

Edit:

Also, the [YT][/YT] doesn't need to be in capitals so [yt][/yt] also works.

Like this?

Thank you very much, now I understand. :)

Thank you too. :)
