How to put videos in posts?

[victor]

I'm a total dummy in these kind of things.

 

I would like someone to explain me how I can put a video (let's say a youtube one) in the post of the forum.

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

If it's a youtube link you can just paste the link in chat and a player will appear for it. But I suggest that you put the command

so it don't take up so much space

(spoiler is written like this [spoiler***][***/spoiler] but without the *** in it )

thanks for your help.

 

You said to past the link "in chat", but I was talking about a forum post, so you meant to paste the link directly in the post?

That usually works - if the link is the full youtube.com link, often the forum software will pick it up and put the video inline automatically when the link itself is put into the post.

Yeah I meant the window you write the text in on the forum

And what Henry wrote ^^

I'm not sure how these Forums are set up but some IPB 3x have difficulty in auto detecting vids so...

Copy the address bar of the YT link (not the copy option), highlight the link and wrap using the Special BBCode (3rd icon top left) and choose the Media tag from the drop down box.

 

Will look like this :

 

*media**blabla vid*/media-*

* = [ or ]

 

Might help, might not.
