    Embedding Videos in your Posts

    Because HTML parsing has been disabled in the Jeep club's vBulletin instance, the only way to embed a video in your posts is to use the [video] bbcode.

    How-To use the Video BBCode Tag Method
    1. Find the video you want to share
    2. Click the Share icon
    3. Copy the URL in the code text box
    4. Paste it into your message between a video tag set


    For example, the video at the URL http://youtu.be/BQCtadEvTgY could be embedded using the following sample code:

    [video=youtube;BQCtadEvTgY]http://youtu.be/BQCtadEvTgY[/video]

    When you enter the above in a message, it will display as follows.



    Important: If you do not put the "=youtube;<ID>" in your tag then you will not get an embedded video but just a link.

    Also, vBulletin's video tag has limited support for services besides YouTube. If you want to post a video hosted somewhere else and you cannot get it to work, shoot me a PM with the link and I will look into it for you.

    So, I was playing around with this and was wondering - can the "=youtube;<ID>" be included in the insert video button?





    I see how you're saying to embed but isn't there a way to include that required code? Basically build it into the toggle button for inserting video?
