Posting a YouTube Video

[JDArt]

You can embed a YouTube video in a post on PhotoCamel. It's quite easy.

Just use the YouTube button when creating your post (you'll see the button toward the end of the formatting button bar). Pressing the YouTube button on the button bar will insert an opening and closing YouTube "tag," like this:

[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]

Place the ID of YouTube video in-between the YouTube tags. The ID is the combination of letters and numbers which identifies the video itself.

There are a couple of ways to find the video's ID:

From a link (URL), the ID is combination of letters and numbers after the ?v= Example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jykn0b6Etk

If you are already on YouTube, the identity can be found in the address bar and to the right hand side of the screen. Again, what you want is the combination of letters and numbers after the ?v=.

Post those letters and numbers in-between the inserted YouTube tags in your PhotoCamel post, and when you preview or save the post, you'll have an embedded video. Pretty cool.

As an example, if you post the YouTube ID from the link (URL) above in-between the YouTube tags inserted by the toolbar button, you'll end up with this:

Pretty cool.
