Re: You can now add YouTube videos easily
Why would anybody want to lock this thread. Youtube on VCP is an awesome thing. People should come here and say thanks. Its been a long time coming, really.

Re: You can now add YouTube videos easily
Great idea.
I have (have to admit) clicked on Youtube links to watch people's reels and WIPs for feedback and haven't returned, thanks to Youtube's "suggested viewing" panel. Always keeps me there for hours. Adding this means I can view whilst remaining in the formus. Also, helps me when giving feedback as I can type my feedback whilst watching the clip.

Re: You can now add YouTube videos easily
Can we use custom players/sizes when we are embedding?
Does that work with this code?

No, we set the player size so it would fit nicely in the posts.

Just a quick tip for people trying to link youtube videos.

NOT the shortened version:
