You can now add YouTube videos easily

This Code:

Code: Select all: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ZLllCUGD8[/youtube]

Will produce this video

So just click the youtube button above the textbox when posting, copy and paste the URL for a video from YouTube and paste it between the tags you got when you clicked the youtube button.

Amazing feature. Now you can just view on VC instead of leaving it and going to youtube. Nice feature Mr. Otten

I think Pat forgot to lock this so I am.

by **Patrick Otten** on 09/7/2009, 10:36 am

I didn't forget, I like responses to see how people like it

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. :mrgreen:

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.

I remember this was suggested by a member recently. Its nice really.

Many regards

I was going to ask why this wasn't enabled, but never got around to it. Thanks for enabling YouTube videos. :-)

P.S. Patrick, you ROCK!

Sweet! Now I don't have to upload all my stuff to Vimeo!

by **phastraq** on 09/27/2009, 10:49 am

NICE!! Much appreciated.

Can we use custom players/sizes when we are embedding?
Does that work with this code?

by **Patrick Otten** on 10/12/2009, 3:15 pm

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

by **moviemaker93** on 10/27/2009, 7:29 pm

Are you guys going to eventually let Blip.Tv be embedded?

oh, ok. I guess that gets around some fool embedding a 1080p video in a post.

Good to know

Why are you guys so amazed by this?

Is this the only forum you guys go in?

this is really helpful...

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

You must use the full url:

Code: Select all: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ZLllCUGD8[/youtube]

Works:

----
NOT the shortened version:

Code: Select all: [youtube]http://youtu.be/c5ZLllCUGD8[/youtube]

Doesn't work:
[youtube]http://youtu.be/c5ZLllCUGD8[/youtube]

---

Also, make sure you include www.

Doesn't work:
