Video thumbnail instead of link? #1
Hi guys/gals, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to post a video from youtube,safari,etc. instead of the actual text link on a forum post? For example I've seen some posts where you can see the video and all the reader has to do is press the "play" button instead of pressing on the link? How do you do that? And if its possible on mobile please tell. Thanks.

You need to copy and paste the EMBED link to do that. Open the youtube video and find the sharing links. Look for embed link and copy it. Now paste it wherever you want to embed the video.

And yes!! That it!! As @ralf93 said, you can just use the video embedding button beside the php code button.

there are easier ways Smile


Method 1:


add the link in this attribute tag.

[video=youtube*] [/video*] (without the *)

e.g [video=youtube*]youtube.com/example [/youtube*] (without the *)


Method 2:


just copy the video link.

click this button on the post option>
