gum-nuts Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 As the title says - can someone remind me how to embed a YouTube video? Quote
JKS Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 COpy the you tube URL OPen your message Click 'video' or in the case of HD .... click 'HDvideo' Then paste the URL in ... watch you dont accidentally delete any characters. Quote
gum-nuts Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 It's all edited, after yesterday's session, will get it on the tube later on today... Quote
gum-nuts Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Posted October 8, 2012 keep getting an error message - site not recognised! here is the linky! Quote
Bones Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Are you viewing on a mobile device? When I click the link I get redirected to To embed, I just cut out the last part (&feature=youtu.be) If you want to embed you should take the video id (UipVfTpbyoU) and paste it after http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= then preview to see if it works.

zahra Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 doesnt matter if the vid gets embedded or not, i saw it anyway- its pretty cool Quote
Goz Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 It helps sometimes to use the long links from the share button options on you tube. Quote
Bones Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 So now your video is embedded four times in three different threads. Do you want me to watch it or something. Quote
gum-nuts Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Posted October 9, 2012 Was practicing! Do you think thats OTT? Now I know how to do it! Quote
Goz Posted October 9, 2012 Report Posted October 9, 2012 Woohoo the long link worked! I am also on my work desktop so will try again at home! Cheers Goz! Your Welcome, sometimes it the little things that make a difference. Quote
gum-nuts Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Posted October 9, 2012 Your Welcome, sometimes it the little things that make a difference. Just tried on the iPad, and it worked again! This time thought I should try another vid! LOL being a former pom this always makes me laugh! Quote
Slartibartfast Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 Does any one know how to embed this link: https://picasaweb.google.com/1006531331 ... 1406630482 The video is clearly hosted on YouTube but the link itself is from Picasa. I've been trying for a while but just can't work out how to do it. Quote
Bones Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 That link takes me to a photo gallery in someones Google+ account. There are two videos there, both look like they are in youtube, but since google owns youtube they are probably reusing the same player on a different site. Here is the link for one of those videos https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZAGZ ... om_3x4.mp4 The EK forum software doesn't recognise this site as a video provider, so I can't embed. Nice video by the way. Quote
