Embedding YouTube Videos (relocated from MoveOn.org thread)

[Rhino]

Homes, your embedded videos keep coming out with "http" on them. How exactly are you posting those?

Homes, your embedded videos keep coming out with "http" on them. How exactly are you posting those?

http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/images/icons/icon11.gif Just the way I figured out how to do it -- probably not the right way, :smirky: (I'm sure, LOL).

I copy the embed info from youtube.com then click the little icon with the world on it above the post box (the info box says "Insert Link"). I leave the http:// highlighted and just add the embed code from youtube.com, then click okay. If I DON'T leave the http://, then my videos never seem to embed.

Am I messing something up?

Don't click the little icon with the world. Just paste the embed code directly into your post.

Don't click the little icon with the world. Just paste the embed code directly into your post.

It doesn't work when I do that. I get a little box with a red X when I put the embed code it in the body of the post. Perhaps it is a glitch of (the hated, the detested, the loathed) AOL? :smirky:

Could be. Try putting one in for the part 1 interview video above. I want to see what it's doing.

Okay, now NOTHING shows up except the code, arrrggghhh

[Rhino]

What editor are you using?

http://www.freeconservatives.com/vb/images/icons/icon11.gif What's an editor?

I have AOL, does that help?

[Rhino]

LOL! No. Go to Edit Options in your User Control Panel, scroll to the bottom and see what editor you have selected. If it's the WYSIWYG Editor, try switching it to Standard Editor and then try embedding the video again.

[Rhino]

I just checked. You're using the WYSIWYG Editor.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

Okay, changed editors ... here goes:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/C2JTd-tf59Q"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/C2JTd-tf59Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

It worked! :biggrin:
