Hi - I was wondering how to embed Youtube videos. I followed the instructions on using this forum. It asked me to follow the instructions in an image which I can't seem to load?

Thank you

Martin

Martin,

I assumed Youtube videos were an easy item.
(I don't have microscopy videos at my Youtube channel)
If follow the Youtube link there button, then place the URL between the tags.
Oh you cannot do it with the Youtube embed code.

Photos- Need to be online somewhere at a web host or cloud storage.
I kept trying to put a picture when I saw it at my OneDrive (Microsoft) cloud space.
Cannot have a page which shows your pic at the page URL.
Need to open just the photo in new window and get that URL.
If you have a photo at OneDrive then next to Download at top left corner is some dots. Click on that and pick "View Original."
Then from the address bar copy that URL to embed the photo.
Choose the Insert Picture and paste URL between the tags.
I don't think too large a photo will get shown. I tired one just now and looked like went but didn't.

Step 1:
On the "post" page click the "youtube" button. This will create text that says [youtube][/youtube]

Step 2:
Go to the youtube video you want to embed and look at its web address (URL). It'll look something like .
For example: The important part is the video ID, which in the above link is the "5O3uVFozSog"

Step 3:
Copy the video ID between the [youtube][/youtube], e.g. Giving you:

Thank you both very much - I will give it a go. Very new to this forum.
