How to embed YouTube videos

PH's forums now have a YouTube bbcode tag, which allows you to embed YouTube videos in your posts. Here's how to use it.

This is what a standard YouTube video URL looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDvrqRq6veI
You can view this URL by clicking on the "Share" button below any video. Take the video's identification tag which appears after the v= (underlined in the example above), and stick it in the [youtube][/youtube] tags.

Voila! Embedded video!



Please don't put any more than two videos in your posts. Also, anything you embed must be PG-13, as per the PH Rules.

That's...pretty cool.

Can we add a 'no embedding Rick Astley videos' rule?

No, I see no reason to ban such a timeless artist from our site.

Well... I guess it's fine as long as you can't set them to autoplay.
