How to embed YOUTUBE videos on ATS.

I noticed alot of people didn´t know how to embed videos into their posts, and instead just posted the link, and since most people seem to lazy to look this up, i looked it up for them.

Here is a youtube video which i have embedded to show you all how to do this, to make your posts look more professional and eyecatching, like the pros!

I did a thread about this too.....i dont see why people find it so hard.

If you want to view the video in the preview screen put &feature at the end of the youtube code....you can them see if you have embedded properly as you will see the preview screen of the video in the ats preview section.

With the VID:YOUTUBE tags you can watch the video in the preview screen

Good idea. Though using this website is not exactly rocket science.

You should make this an "Idiot's Guide to ATS" thread.

I use to do the &feature as well until I realized just & will do.

You can leave the & off too, it's only the joiner for other parameters in the URL.

Not that it matters

I've tried leaving the & off and it doesn't work for me actually. Some others here have mentioned the same.

Just tried the same vid without the & and no go.

Curious.

Thank you. I didn't know about adding the "&" to see it in the preview. I always find it annoying when I post a video and find out embedding has been disabled. I'll start doing this. Thank you, again.

And one more thing.
Once you think you have embedded your video,,,,,,,,,use the preview button before posting the finished product. If you have done it correctly, it will show up on your preview screen and you will be able to test it to see if it works before you post it and find out after a half dozen smart alecks point out your abject failure.

Happy posting.

yes i have had this trouble to! thanks for the help, awesome thread.
