How to Post Videos (Updated, new method added)

In this tutorial I will be explaining how you can include videos from sites like YouTube in your posts. Since posting this tutorial it has come to our attention that our instructions ONLY work for YouTube videos. We will be adding instructions on how to add other videos at the end of the YouTube section. Please note that YouTube videos can be posted using either method. YouTube Instructions: Begin your post like you normally would. when you come to the spot where you want to place your video do the following.

Copy the URL address of your videeo. It is highlighted in red here in our YouTube example. youtubevideo2 Simply paste this URL address in the exact spot you want your video to show within your post. youtubevideo3 Then all you need to do is add a “v” to the http section of the URL. Some of you might like to use different types of videos. For those different types just do the following.

  • httpv:// – regular video
  • httpvh:// – high quality
  • httpvhd:// – HD quality
  • httpvp:// – playlist

Instructions for posting any and all videos from any sites. Start your post like you normally would. When you are ready to put the video in place copy the “Embed” code of the video you want to use. regularvideo1 You must click the HTML tab on your posting screen. It will not work if you are in the “Visual” tab. It will turn your opeing and closing < > into alternate characters and break the code. regularvideo2 One you click the HTML tab simply paste the embed code that you just copied into the spot where you want the video to show. regularvideo3 Once the video is in place continue posting as you normally would by clicking the “Publish” button. Again, YouTube videos can be done either way. We suggest if you have an HD or DVD quality video that you use method #1. Otherwise it might be easier to just use the embed code method.
