Guide to embedding youtube videos

Also, if you want the video to default to 720p quality, then add this to the end of the code "&hd=1".
That snippet also works for 720p quality in default size videos.

[youtubehd]qzEe7xW-uoE&hd=1[/youtubehd]

Two ways.

First

1) Find a youtube video.
2) Copy the embed code (you can change any of the settings except size and quality and then copy that).
3) Bring up the [youtube][/youtube] tags and then insert the embed code between the tags.

So it should look something like this...if I take this video.

Second

If you want to put a youtube video in your sig then...

1) Find a youtube video.
2) From the URL for this video, copy the "qzEe7xW-uoE" (It's after the v=).
3) Bring up the [youtube][/youtube] tags and then paste in between the tags.

So it should look something like this with the video mentioned.

But...say you have random video X (like this random thing I found), you can copy all of it, or, to save space, you can remove the "&feature=fvw". Everything after the &, including the &, is unnecessary and just wastes space, especially for sigs.

Alternatively, for the embedding of youtube HD videos...

Same methods work as above but instead of using [youtube][/youtube][noparse] tags you use [noparse][youtubeHD][/youtubeHD] tags. You have to input the tags yourself though.

So, it should look something like this with this video (the same one used above).

Hope this helps some people!

Thought this might be useful for people who don't know what they are doing, because i've seen a lot of youtube links as of late and not as much embedding.

Now i'm seeing more people embed using normal tags instead of HD ones when they do things like post threads.
