derryfawne Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Just copy and paste the URL. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HendryTan Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 1. Just paste the Youtube URL into the screen.The software will "automatically" change it to an embedded video.2. But please do NOT select the URL that looks likehttp://www.youtube.com/embed/q-wGMlSuX_c?rel= which uses the WHOLE screen and our software thus ignores.3. Instead use the URL shown on your browser when playing on the youtube page. It should look like:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-wGMlSuX_cCheers !

Guest Guest Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Copy and paste URL does not work for me, like the example below: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=UIEExKSjWi4 Tried several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glyph Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yeah, the auto coding doesn't function all that well at times. There's an alternative to this anyway. When you're on the text box, click the first icon on the top row. If you hover over it, you'll see a popup that says "BB Code Mode". Copy your URL into the text box and prefix/suffix it with the media BB code. You should be looking at something like this on your text box (Without any spaces): [ media ] http://www.youtube.com/ [ /media ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bern Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi, Thanks for highlighting the problem. 1. The new update to the forum made it so that if you are pasting an URL link, it will not be embed as a video. To embed a YouTube link, you need to paste the YouTube URL as plaintext. You can do it by doing Right click > Paste as plain text in Google Chrome, or press on ctrl + shift + v. 2. I have made some changes that now url will be 'automatically' parsed. Try it and let me know if it's working. Cheers Quote Join the official BW Telegram Group Chat: https://bit.ly/frmbw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted October 12, 2013 Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I have tried all 3 ways suggested here. Only that by jcho works. This is not to say the the other 2 methods do not work. Just that I may not have done it right. Many thanks to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
