Embedding in groups?

This is something I've been wondering about for a while. Can we embed videos in usergroups? I don't think we can do it anywhere else on the site, unless we're Nate, but I'm not sure about usergroups. Also, if it's possible, do you know how to do it? Any help would be appreciated.

Do you just mean how to include videos in posts? You can do that with the "flash" BBCode:

Code: Select all

[flash=width,height]URL OF VIDEO[/flash]

You'd just change the height and width values, and obviously put in the url of the video in there. E.g...

Code: Select all

[flash=640,360]http://www.youtube.com/v/OjfdXyLa0DQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1&[/flash]

Hope that helped!

It did help, but when I use a url of my own, a white box pops up but nothing else. I used the url that you did, and it worked...What's your secret? D:

Hah - if you were using YouTube, be sure to use the url of the video itself, not the url of the web page it's on. To do that on YouTube, get the url of the web page and do some magic. For example, this:

Code: Select all

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjOSLCR2hE

... goes to:

Code: Select all

http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/npjOSLCR2hE

Basically, find the " ?v= " part and make it " /v/ " - that will now be the link to the video. If that made sense.

Great! It worked. Thank you a million times over.

Here is the result of your evil deed:
