Discussions on viewing embedded YouTube Videos - MOVED

Postby Hugh-AR » 04 Mar 2020 08:18

Hi All,

I have MOVED our discussions about not being able to see embedded YouTube videos using FLASH (as a result of YouTube and the Browsers .. particularly Google Chrome .. ending support for FLASH by the end of 2020) to the Shooting the Breeze Board (General Chat).

The issue has been resolved by changing the YouTube BBCode from Shockwave Flash to HTML and as far as I can tell, all the videos in our TDP Forum are now working retrospectively. So just carry on as usual when you want to put up a YouTube Video.

Posting a YouTube Video into the Forum

Get the YouTube video you want to put into your post up on screen. Once you are sure you are watching the right one, pause it (it's easier to concentrate!). Click on the SHARE, underneath. Click COPY in the drop-down box, which will copy the youtu.be address to your clipboard.

Place your cursor in the posting box where you want your video to appear. Click the youtube BBCode above the posting box. The following will appear in your post: [youtube][/youtube], with the cursor flashing in between. You now need to PASTE what is on your clipboard to where the cursor is flashing. You can do that either by doing a right-click with your mouse and then choosing Paste from the drop-down box (left-click on it); or by holding down the Ctrl on your computer's keypad, and pressing the letter V (Ctrl + V). You then need to remove the https://youtu.be/ so place your cursor just to the right of that 'slash' and 'backspace' until you have removed all the above. Stop when you get to the right hand bracket of [youtube]. You will then just be left with the letters/numbers from the address.

Click Submit under the posting box. The embedded video should appear.

There is more on this in the Forum How To ... .. with illustrations.
