How to Embed a YouTube Video

Wario · 21 Sep 2016, 23:22

Heres how you properly embed a YOUTUBE video, NO OTHER VIDEO SITE HOSTS WORK (as on this posting):
Here is a standard Youtube URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5hWWe-ts2s

ONLY COPY everything AFTER the "v=" and then put [YT] around it like so:

HTML Code:

[YT]k5hWWe-ts2s[/YT]

then the final result:

YouTube Video

This happens a lot. hope this helps.

Lack of correct punctuation is indeed a problem with modern society, and with your tutorials we may help to eradicate this issue

If you have the picture, on your computer for eg, you need to load it onto a webpage somewhere, like Photobucket. If you find a picture on the net you use that url
