How To: Embed Vimeo, Youtube, and Youtube HD Videos in your posts

[Gnnr]

Since I have seen people try to do this and haven't gotten it to work I am posting this guide. Mods please sticky.

Vimeo
This is what a link to a Vimeo video would look like.

http://vimeo.com/8025761

To embed it in your post you want to take the part after the backslash (italicized above) and wrap it in [vv] [/vv] tags. You can use the icon to do this when posting. It should look like so.

Youtube
This is what a regular link for a Youtube video would look like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLGcWNiOUn8

You want to take the part after the v= in the link (italicized above) and wrap it in [yt] [/yt]. You can use the icon to do this when posting. It should look like so.

But wait there's more...

Youtube can be tricky and the link may look like a mess like this.

You want to get the part after the v= and the first ampersand (the & symbol, yes that's what its called).

Youtube HD

For Youtube videos offered in High Definition the part that you need from the link is the same but the tags are [ythd] [/ythd]. You can use the icon to do this when posting. It should look like so.

Hope that helps.

This should be stickied because plenty of folks always ask how to post the actual video instead of the links. Nice work!

for example:
this is the regular youtube link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv99rXd0aqk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=||Lv99rXd0aqk|| <- This is the part you need

[Y.T]______________[/Y.T] then add this without the periods with the link above


[Y.T]Lv99rXd0aqk[/Y.T] <- This is what it supposed to look like with out the periods

hope you find this helpful

^^^It works. You're doing something wrong. But I did not know about the Vimeo embedding. That's good to know.
