First, find your video. Look at your address bar, and copy the ending of the link, which is after "v=" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chm5bzCox04)

Sometimes Youtube links are more complex, like when you select a video from a channel. If this happens, copy everything between "v=" and "&"

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtiGxKCESos&feature=channel_page)

Now, press the "Insert: Youtube" button which is at the bottom of the list of codes that are below the smiles.



A box will come up. Now, paste the code you copied earlier into the box, and press "OK".


The following code should appear in your text box:

CODE
[youtube]*Your Youtube Code Here*[/youtube]

For me, it looks like this:

CODE
[youtube]Chm5bzCox04[/youtube]


And now your video should appear on the forums when you post it:

I remember typing in the whole code, the URL I mean, and being frustrated because it wouldn't show up. Thanks for the guide, even though I knew how to.

I usually use the embedding url, and just past it right between the codes.

Thanks for writing this Pipin. smile.gif

If you don't mind, I moved the thread to Popular Multimedia and pinned it (to me it makes sense).

Thanks for putting this up. I had trouble figuring this out on my own at first. happy.gif

I found out how to do it by looking at someone who posted a video and then pressing the quote button and see what it said :)

I do the code too smile.gif
