Hi, is it possible to embed a video here? I tried but failed, maybe just not doing it correctly.

Cheers,

Brian

Brian, there is an insert video option in the formatting controls when you post

It looks like this:

It inserts the following code

[video width=400 height=350]file URL[/video]

Brian,

Could you post the url of the video here so I can see why it ain't working?

That's it there. Here it is embedded.

I'll be looking into it. Just adding the url won't work anyway, you'll need to use the "video embeded code" that's on the Youtube page (look for the

button).

However, even that's not working (yet). Sad

To be continued.

I'm trying to embed Youtube video into post - still no luck. I see some members can do it, but for me it's just a mystery Smile

.
Tried old (object) and new (iframe) codes - doesn't work.

Have you guys found any solution for this?

Thanks,
Julian

Just copy and paste the HTML code from the YouTube embed option in the message. No extra codes required. Perhaps your option "Disable HTML in this post" is enabled.
