How to embed a YouTube video

Postby Richard » 10 Sep 2017, 15:25

This post shows you how to embed a YouTube video within a post using the youtube knob.

First open the youtube video you want to share and copy the full URL (including https://) to your clipboard so you can paste it elsewhere:

Next open a new topic (or reply to an existing one) and place your cursor where you want to insert the video.
Next click on the youtube knob above the edit window.

Next paste the youtube URL (from your clipboard) between the two center square brackets (your cursor should be there automatically):

After you're done maybe add some other text and then click submit

If all went well you should be able to see the YouTube video within your post like this:
Code: Select all

So let's make the forum more interactive using your own recorded video's ;)

@zoneadmin

Not sure why but the youtube BBcode doesn't seem to work anymore? Could be related to a software upgrade...
