Tutorial: Embedded videos in posts (YouTube,Veoh, Vimeo,etc)

A new functionality of this site is the easy ability to add video to be embedded and displayed in your posts.

Whenever you post, you're present with a series of buttons above the text field on a new posting page, known as BBCodes, typically used to handle text properties, such as bold, italic, color, or other functionality such as inserting links, images, etc.

To add a video to your posting, simply click the 'video' BBCode button which will insert the following tags into your posting:

Code: Select all

[video][/video]
Then insert the video link from YouTube, Veoh, Vimeo, Google, etc. in between the video BBCode brackets as follows:

Code: Select all

[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEVBd0ov9hI[/video]
Which will embed the video:
