Can anyone provide HTML code so I can get embedded video to work here in the forums? Please help if you are able. I tried the search button and can up with nothing.

Dunno about other videos, but embedding a youtube clip is...

For http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTKPcrPmgPI, you'd type
[*youtube=uTKPcrPmgPI]

Remove the asterisk and you got yourself a video.

If you head over to the News Room and find an article with a video, you could likely hit Quote and then just copy the coding from their post, adjusting for your video.

It is a CNN Flash video. This is the code from the website.

Embedded video from CNN Video [http://www.cnn.com/video]

But it does not work. What is wrong?

To put it simply, you can't do that.

But people have posted videos from YouTube. Can we only post videos from YouTube?

Here is the Youtube code of the same video:



Why won't it work? I know I have seen videos posted on these forums from Youtube.

EDIT: I found this kind of code in several embedded video posts from Youtube. What is the deal with this?

EDIT: Never mind. As usual I figured it out on my own....

I don't think you can embed anything other than you tube videos.

Thanks for the reply regardless. Nothing besides Youtube? Well, I know that for the future now.

You can embed Excapist video (like within a group page) and Viemo on here but I don't know exactly how you embed it (assuming it's different to the way you embed Youtube video).
