Help:How to embed Youtube videos
Embedding Youtube videos is very easy. For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:
{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}
The youtube ID can be found in the URL. For example, if the url is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg, the video ID is dMH0bHeiRNg.
See! it is embedded!
The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:
- {{#ev:service|id}}
- {{#ev:service|id|width}}
- {{#ev:service|id|width|align}}
- {{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}
- {{#evp:service|id|desc}}
- {{#evp:service|id|desc|align}}
- {{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}
Where:
- service is the name of a video sharing service (See "service name" in the list below)
- id is the id of the video to include
- width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
- align (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute. May be "left" or "right".
- desc (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned
For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:
{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}
And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, on the right with a short description, you could use:
{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100|right|This is an embedded video!}}
- Note: See the Project Homepage for more examples.
