How to implement Youtube videos into a post

[TheInverseKey]

I was wondering how to implement Youtube videos into a post so that you can watch them on the post?

Just copy and paste the link.It will do everything automatically.

 

Or,

[media]youtube.link[/media]

Copy the youtube link into where you write the text. Then it will automaticly implant the youtube video in it

Copy paste link

Just paste the video link and it will embed itself.

If you use the simplified posting mode, or manual BBcode basically, it's

youtubeurl  OR [media]youtubeurl 

In more uncommon circumstances, you only need the characters after the "watch?v=" bit instead of the full url to make it work. Sometimes the two are interchangeble as well.
 
An example of the above would be using "CCi4zMJbMQQ" from the "

" url within the appropriate media tags. These tags may vary between sites, meaning you use the media ones or the youtube ones. Other times it's unique because of the way the video embedding is set up by whomever manages that stuff on a forum/site.

Edit: Everyone else already told you the automated way LTT forums embeds video (you just copy the video link, assuming it's from an approved site, and paste it within your reply) in normal posting mode. This is for the simplified/old way.

 

Edit2: Turns out I may be wrong in regards to LTT forums, adding url="youtubeurl" tags, such as the below:

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCi4zMJbMQQ]

is the method you would use on LTT forums instead of the [media/youtube] tags. As I said, it varies from site to site and I use a lot of rather basic forms of BBcode. In the case of LTT forums, I believe they have ipboards.

Dude, be cool.  Telling someone to Google something doesn't really help.  For all you know, the OP could have already searched for an answer on Google.

In this case, Google is very unhelpful because of the number of ways to both customize how a site embeds videos and how many sites use different types of BBcode.

 

 

 

I'm no expert, and please take my answers with a grain of salt, but I've used tens of sites with entirely different methods across the last 10-12 years. Age doesn't make a difference because some are ancient and not updated, while others just prefer or simply still use the old styles in that particular forum provider/host/type/whatever.
