Embed YouTube Video

[David]

I picked this video at random. So, if it has some questionable content...

If you want to embed YouTube videos in a post, click on the red TUBE icon in WYSWIG editor menu (may not appear if you are using quick reply or depending upon your UserCP settings). This will insert BBCode {YOUTUBE}{/YOUTUBE} (except that it will use brackets [, not braces). You can also just type the BBCode directly.

Then just insert the funky Unique ID for the respective video between the tags and away you go.

For example: For the above video, the URL from YouTube is:

YouTube - Mad Max Police Car

The Unique ID is nzO9t7ibHgQ

So, the code would look like:

{YOUTUBE}nzO9t7ibHgQ{/YOUTUBE}

except using brackets, not braces.

Since the Video is hosted by YouTube and they encourage linking/embedding, we generally have no issues with copyrights. Copyright complaints are handled by YouTube, the person who posted the video, and the person who alleges ownership.

The exception is if you know that the linked video is a copyright violation and YouTube just hasn't had a chance to remove it yet.

Many, many other sites are now begging for people to embed their videos in other sites. They even offer easy "Embed" code, for ease of use, so I'm sure there are no copyright issues. Do you intend on making other sides easier to embed here (or, if I can now, can you show me how?)?
