How do I embed video?

[Jim Underwood]

I tried every format I could think of, but I can't seem to get my video to embed...

What's the trick?

[Keith Outten]

Jim,

Did you select the video icon?
You know that you must upload your video file to youtube first then use the video icon here to link to your movie.

[Jim Underwood]

Yes I selected the video icon. However the movie was uploaded to Photobucket. Are you saying that it will only work from YouTube?

Jim....I haven't worked with video so I just tried it. When I clicked on the video icon, here's the message I got:




Enter your video clip URL below.








Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234567

Supported videos include:



Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/) YouTube (Long) (http://www.youtube.com/) YouTube (Short) (http://youtu.be/) Vimeo (http://www.vimeo.com/) Dailymotion (http://www.dailymotion.com/) Metacafe (http://www.metacafe.com/) Google (http://video.google.com/) facebook (http://www.facebook.com/)



Based on that it appears the video has to be stored at Hulu, YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Google Facebook.

There may be some format issues that require it. I don't know.

Thanks Ken. I guess I'll have to put my video on YouTube then. But then I'll have to get someone to edit my thread because the time for user editing expired...

Jim......I'll be glad to edit your thread. Send me a PM when you want it done with a link to the thread and information that you want changed.
