Embedding a video

Is it possible to embed a video from youtube? I did a search on the forum but couldn't find anything. I searched in google and it seems to vary from forum to forum.

Idk, but i really don't think so. Just from seeing that a lot of senior members here post only the links leading to these videos. and if anybody would know, it'd probably be them.

Nick has to enable it. I think you can just add a youtube tag on vbulletin, but it's up to Nick.

if it doesnt cost the forum more money to embed videos, we should do it. why not right?

It would be a huge security hole. There is no magic "YouTube" tag. I would have to enable the object tag.

I wouldn't consider this a must have feature. Hence, in light of the security concerns, it's a no go. Sorry.

aw that sucks. there should be a magic youtube tag :P. Well thanks for answering my question.

Vbulletin has a way where you can only allow object tags from youtube. You have to add it as a BB code.

then you have to get the video ID from youtube. Example: youtube.com/watch?v=3rt3ersdwe

then your code on the forum would look like this:
[youtube]3rt3ersdwe[/youtube]

Then just name the BB code tag youtube. Now there's no reason you can't add it.

Here's more on BB code: http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/bbcode_add

You are right hooper. I guess I'm still thinking in terms of my day job.

As a word of caution, lets not get carried away with those viral videos, mmmmkay?

I'd rep you again Hoop, but this won't let me xD

Pretty cool hooper. Thanks Nick.
