Embed a YouTube Video

[Russ U.]

CorvetteForum allows people to embed a YouTube video in a post. That's a nice feature, and one that I think will become more popular in the future. The NCRS chat group does not seem to offer the same functionality. Is there a way to add this?

For CF, embedding a YT video is pretty easy:

[yt]videoID[/yt]

Thus for one of my videos, I would simply add:

[yt]nlXMr15E14I[/yt]

The one thing I don't like about CF is that CF makes the YT video play in a small size - smaller than the YT video. I don't know why CF would do that - the YT video should not impact CF bandwidth. Thus, if you are up for YT embedded videos, I suggest going with whatever size the video is saved in on YT. Vids are only going to get bigger and better in the future, so why put an artificial cap on these vids?

Thanks

I think there is a big difference Rick. I very rarely follow a link to YouTube. I don't like the YouTube interface - much too cluttered for my taste. There is a pretty good chance I will give an embedded video a looksie, however, especially if the the freeze frame looks interesting.
